Your guests will be able to spark conversation while getting their food to eat. Not only is this an area for your guests to eat and talk but it is also working as a beautiful display of food. Almost like an art masterpiece. Did I spark your interest? Then you must be wondering how to make one. Today, I am going to show you how to make a tropical inspired grazing table

Add Greenery & Colour

The first steps to making your grazing table tropical are the greenery. You are going to want to start off with some on the table then add in some tropical leaves on top. There are palm style leaves and thinner monstera leaves to choose from but it always looks great with both to give the table some variety.

Next, you are going to want to add some colour. This can be through a sprinkle of beautiful flowers or you can choose to let your food be the source of colour for your grazing table. If you want your food to be the main focus then only add a little touch of flowers here and there on the sides of your grazing table so it will bring some texture to your masterpiece.

Height Variety

Your food is going to need to sit on something or in something. This is where you will need platters, bowels or cheese boards to act as a serving plate display. To make it really pop, you will want to add different heights. Think about using wooden boxes, bamboo bowels or coconuts as other ways to hold and showcase your food. It makes the table more visually appealing.

Fresh Food

Lastly, you need your food. Fresh is the key to having the best grazing table. You are going to want to source locally if possible and get yourself some fresh produce. One way is going to a farmers market and make a vendor connection that way or search online to find one nearby. For some examples of what you can put on your table, you can have meats, fruits and bread.
