How To Style Game Day Fan-Fare
Whether it’s under the tailgating tent or in your home, good style isn’t difficult to achieve week after week when hosting football socials. Follow these pointers to handcraft beautiful, effortless tablescapes.
The Technique
It’s always a good idea to set aside several items that can be used each weekend for game day soirees. Neutral elements will always look the best & give you an opportunity to tuck in swags of team colors for a pretty finish. A sharp cooler, galvanized steel, white acrylic trays, slate boards, a few wooden crates plus a set or two of Mason jars will set the tone flawlessly. Once you’re ready to put it all together, layer the pieces in a variety of heights for interest. Have a set spot to organize plates, napkins & flatware. Create a separate beverage location to keep bottlenecking at bay. Tuck in a few pressed linens to elevate the table & you’ll have the most polished tent around.
