Rustic banquet
1 A LITTLE BIT COUNTRY
A timber table gives off bucolic vibes, so play them up with bench seats, a log stack and teak servingware – it’s a lovely golden-brown wood with a wavy grain.
2 SELF SERVE
Let your guests grab a plate and cutlery – go for brass and timber flatware – to help themselves from a generous spread of bread, cheese and fruit for a posh ploughman’s lunch!
3 BOWLS O’ PLENTY
For your country-style feast, pile the goodies up high using serving boards, bowls and plaers. A leafy centrepiece is all you need as a table deco to team with the natural theme.
