Mad for Plaid
24th Apr 2015
Whether you call it gingham, checkered, checked or plaid, this classic design tugs at our sense of Americana and nostalgia for all things family - we love this pattern! Perfect for the neighborhood gathering, backyard barbecue, patriotic celebration and all things summer - pick your color combo or mix and match and let the fun begin. Tablevogue transforms standard size folding tables from functional to fabulous without the use of cumbersome pins, clips or dated skirting. The fitted one-piece 6-foot cover allows you to hide supplies underneath with complete coverage of metal legs. After the fun, toss in a low temperature wash, fold or hang and have ready for your next occasion. We bet you'll use this stunning showcase cover at least 10X a year - that is less money than a disposable or cheap throw that ends up being more trouble than good. Read the reviews and watch the video about how Tablevogue is different from a "sea of the same". We're unapologetically better than any cover on the market - go mad-for-plaid!
We know how tough it can be to keep all the plates spinning, so we're reminding you of a few simple tips to make using our NEW Picnic-Plaid easy-peasy.
- Use Picnic-plaid as your serving table showcase focal point - it is an easy attention-getter
- Look for a unique vessel to chill and contain your drinks. Select drinks that are both new and old-school favorites that match your color theme
- Short on time or worried about how to layout the perfect cheese platter? Use a basket instead, loading up with cheese nibbles and crisps
- Let your flower containers double as a utensil service to keep the look neat and classic
- Use wooden plates that can take a beating in windy and outdoor conditions - use solo or as chargers lined with decorative paper plates
- Offer cloth and paper napkins for messy barbecue
- Limit the service area by combining proteins on one plate like the ribs and chicken
- Replace stuffy serving bowls with a basket and serve dressing on the side
- Display desserts like presents and use the height of a multi-tiered stand as a focal point
We picked up ribs and chicken from a street-side cooker - salad toppings from the local organic salad bar - desserts from a neighborhood bakery and the rest from the local grocer. Everything you see was pulled together in under an hour and under $100 dollars.
Entertaining can be easy with the right resources, inspiration from Pinterest or your favorite mags and Tablevogue.
