Spring table palettes beyond pastel default

Pastel can feel flat on camera without contrast. We pair soft linens with deeper napkin folds, bronze flatware, or a single saturated floral accent.

Seasonal stems with varied height keep the eye moving without blocking conversation across the table — especially on round layouts with 10–12 guests.

We test fabrics under both daylight and evening wash before final install. What looks perfect at noon can wash out under warm uplighting.

Name cards and menus are part of the palette. Typography colour and paper texture should echo the linen, not fight it.
