1.  Use real flatware, glassware, linens and place settings instead of disposable ones to reduce waste.

Skip the DIY and pair your favorite designs from the Marketplace with Roostery’s table runner and dinner napkins to complete your table setting.

Whether utilizing a local rental company for larger gatherings or hosting a small party featuring an eclectic collection of thrifted items, you can mix and match flatware, glassware and place setting for casual elegance. If you’re tight on time and can’t make it to the thrift store, let Roostery help with custom printed tablecloths featuring your favorite earthy-friendly designs.

2. Use Peel and Stick Wallpaper to dress up a plain serving tray.

A few stained slats of wood, a staple gun, a couple eye hooks, and a yard of your favorite Spoonflower design printed on Eco Canvas are all you need to create a focal piece. Plus, it’s a simple project that’s great for any skill level and can be repurposed as everyday wall art after your celebration. Follow this easy video tutorial for the complete how-to.
