A top table for every guest

Texture, colour, candles and personal touches combine to set the tone for your event

EMMA SEGAL, THE BIJOU STUDIO

"If the venue allows it, always incorporate candles - they create a gorgeous light and mood. Loading up a table looks phenomenal when you enter the room, but the dining experience is not the same when you need to take things away to make space for sharing dishes and wine. We always plan to avoid that, and florals are designed so you can talk across the table with ease. Add personal touches - your favourite starter or an illustration of your beloved dogs on the menu; anything that says this isn't a copy of something on Pinterest or Instagram."
