~Tip of the week!~
Utilizing greenery at your next event:

We at Margaret Claire's believe in the power of what just a little bit of greenery can do to enhance table settings, photo displays, and food tables! You can NEVER have too much greenery! It's simple, elegant, and adds a pop of texture to any display.

1. Type of greenery
Some personal favorites of ours are salal as a base, ruscus to add height and texture, and seeded eucalyptus! Layering these can make your greenery look thick and well-thought out!

2. Amount?
The amount of greenery that comes in a bunch changes frequently. A good rule of thumb is the 3-5 rule! Use either 3-5 stems of each type of greenery per table or display, unless you are looking to spread across a large table like a runner.

3. Just greenery?
While greenery alone dresses up your event, take it a step further by adding a few rose heads to the greenery! We recommend 3-5 roses per table. You can also add fairy lights, small pampas stems, or extra candlelight to dress up your centerpieces!

**Tip of the Week**

How to create a tasty, visually appealing charcuterie board your guests will love!

1. Variety
Charcuterie boards incorporate foods that appeal to all guests, so including a variety of flavors (sweet vs. salty), colors, and textures help bring your charcuterie board to life! Try nuts, fruits, veggies, specialty cheeses, sweets like chocolates, pickles, olives, and whatever else you like!

2. Food Placement
While grazing tables are meant to look purposeful, there is also an element of "messy" that is allowed! Create shapes with the food, and make sure that there is contrast between one food and another that is right next to it. Too much brown in crackers, nuts, etc. needs to be broken up with a bright fruit or veggie!

3. Create Dimension
While flat grazing tables are beautiful, you can easily enhance your charcuterie board with varying levels of height, candles, floral, and crates! Be creative and make sure there is still some symmetry involved when creating dimension
