tablescapes
- There’s nothing more summer fête appropriate than beautiful string lighting over a dinner gathering. Whether on the rooftop of your building, a picturesque patch of sand at a local beach or even in your own backyard, they add romance and a touch of twinkle to the party.
- String lights with dimmers allow you to adjust the mood. A larger space can also be made smaller by using the lighting to enclose the party’s perimeter.
- Create a picture-perfect tableau with a curated tablescape. Add some poufs for seating, succulents to your table, along with bottles of Kim Crawford wine, and it’s the perfect setting for an evening among friends.
