A Radiant Scene for Charcuterie in the Garden

Outdoor fireplace accented with lush florals

As we look forward to the sweltering summer days slowly surrendering to fall’s refreshing air, nibble on charcuterie in the garden at a table inspired by the dazzling hues of nature’s transitional spell. From the outdoor fireplace to the lush surrounds, abundant fresh blooms bolster the enchanting atmosphere for a laid-back afternoon.

A tablecloth bearing amber blooms conjures scenes of golden brown to come, while pink and coral accents impart a feminine flair. Woven chargers and wooden embellishments mingle with modish tulip glasses, dainty floral napkins, and metallic details.

A hand-painted pitcher brimming with bright zinnias, dahlias, yarrow, and ranunculus complements the scheme, as artfully arranged charcuterie takes center stage. In a variety of textures and colors, the sweet-and-savory snack mix is sure to satisfy.
