Centrepiece
The crab apples scattered throughout the table and in the centrepieces really lifted the red tones you see throughout the floral pattern and kept with our Rosh Hashanah theme. In addition to fruit, seasonal flowers were chosen to coordinated with our linens and helped add texture to the table. Julie’s beautiful gold William Yeoward pomegranates were a very special and symbolic addition to the table. For extra depth, the table was layered with rattan charger plates and custom made linen placemats in coordinating cornflower blue along with cornflower blue taper candles.
Apple Place cards
Each family member received a personalised red apple and their own honey pot with honey stick. This is when double dipping is allowed!
