The Beauty of Grazing Tables

As wedding season bleeds into Thanksgiving and the holidays, there’s one trend we’ve seen growing in popularity among all three events and it’s simply lovely: grazing tables.

A grazing table is exactly what it sounds like. Picture a large, long table filled to the brim with anything and everything you could eat in a couple of bites. It’s like a supersized charcuterie board you are allowed to stand around and just keep eating off of. If you’re currently wondering what you need to do to get invited to whatever party includes a grazing table, welcome to the club.

One of the most beautiful things about grazing tables is that they typically sit atop stunning table linens (or if they don’t, they should!). Instead of place settings and a centerpiece, the tablecloth is the backdrop to one huge edible centerpiece, stretching across the table so that you can reach whatever your heart desires.

Now, one of the most challenging things about grazing tables is that without plates, there’s very little standing in the way of juice from a smashed berry or a smear of sticky chutney finding its way onto said table linens. If you’ve hosted a grazing table and find yourself needing someone to help return your tablecloth to its pre-grazing glory, we can help. Schedule for Parkers Custom Clothing Care to come and pick up your tablecloths at no extra charge.
