Many are getting inspired to create eco-friendly table settings, or nature-inspired arrangements. Why not? It is both elegant and rustic. The combinations of colors in these settings project positive vibes to your guests based on the psychology of colors. Brown is connected with friendship and stability while green, just like blue, is a calming color that is pleasing to the eyes.
If you own a restaurant, you can use natural settings for special holidays like Thanksgiving or hosting a green party. You can even use some ideas for catered events like weddings with garden, tropical, and themes. Here are some ideas on how to prepare an eco-friendly table setting.
Compostable or Biodegradable Plates

Start by choosing plates with Earth tone colors perfect for this setting, like the PacknWood Palm Leaf Plates Collection and Bamboo Plates Collection. The palm leaf plates are more on the rustic side, and the bamboo plates have a smooth and elegant finish, but both are aesthetically beautiful. Both collections come in different shapes like traditional round or square and sizes suitable for the appetizers, soups, entrees, and desserts.
Wood or Bamboo Cutlery

Replace your silverware and match your plates warm colors with PacknWood Bamboo Cutlery or Wood Cutlery. They are available in different designs and can be bought individually in bulk or sets with a paper wrapper and napkin. Another tip is for events like weddings, you can use jute string to tie your cutlery or place them in a burlap utensil holder.
Stunning Centerpiece and Table Runner

If you have nice tables in your restaurant, you can simply go bare to showcase them, but if you want to add texture and visual, you can use a burlap table runner. However, if you want to protect your table, using white table cloth will do. You can use fresh greenery like silver dollar eucalyptus or Italian ruscus for no bloom weddings, or baby’s breath as a table runner for wedding occasions. They are both versatile because you can combine other elements like flowers and candles too.
The next step is making a stunning centerpiece. The thing about centerpieces is you can be creative; even tree branches can be incorporated on your flower arrangement. If you want to try edible centerpieces, which are also part of your restaurant menus like cheese and charcuterie for appetizers or fresh fruits for dessert, you can use PacknWood Wood Trays. You can add Natural Skewers like the Pine Cone Skewer or “THE HEART" Bamboo Pick, which can serve as a food pick and additional decor for the edible centerpiece. For other decorations like place cards on plates, you can use leaves or recyclable kraft paper and clip them using "NAK" Sign Clip With Bamboo.
