Steps:
- To make a Cheese, Cracker and Fruit Table: Cover a round table with cloth.
- Place large soup pot in middle of table.
- Cover with material and tuck edges under loosely.
- Cover the top tier with grapes and whole fruit.
- Surround tier with: Stacks of small plates and napkins.
- Cheese boards and several blocks of cheese.
- Drape inexpensive baskets with material and fill with crackers.
- Place plates of grapes, blueberries, whole strawberries, cherries, kiwi slices and any other fruit in season.
- This cover will hide coolers filled with fruit and cheese supplies and extra baskets of crackers.
- Other wedding tips: A gallon of punch serves approx.
- 24 servings.
- Distilled water will freeze clear, regular water will be opaque.
- If using plain ice to chill punch make the punch a bit strong.
- An ice ring or block filled with punch and frozen won't dilute the punch.
- Cover for a round table: Measure from center point to the edge of the table and then measure to the floor.
- For example: from center of the table to its edge is 36 inches and from table top to 4 inches* off the floor is 25.
- The radius would equal 61 inches.
- 61 x 2= diameter The material for the circular cover has a diameter of 122.
- Find a solid colored inexpensive queen or king-size top sheet that is large enough to cut a circle.
- Lay sheeting on the floor.
- Take a push pin and stick it in the middle of the sheet.
- Tie a piece of string, the length of the radius of the circle, to the pin.
- Tie the other end to a piece of chalk.
- Roughly mark out circle.
- Cut.
- Trim: 6+ yards of contrasting printed material, Circumference= 3.
- 14 times radius (61 inches).
- Amount of trim needed= 192 inches of finished trim.
- Trim will be about 3-4 inches wide and gathered.
- Amount of material needed to make trim: Cotton weight material= 176 x 2= 351 in.
- (9¾ yards) Lighter weight material= 176 x 3= 528 in (14 yards) 5- 6 yards of half inch of non roll waistband elastic.
- Cut material the desired width and sew strips together.
- Sew material to elastic, stretching elastic as you sew so it will gather.

- Add Contrasting Height. Tiers of bread, cheeses, and fruits elevate this grazing table cast in an illuminating glow. We love the idea of utilizing multiple plates, bowls, and shelves to add interest to a display.
- Cater to a Theme. Who needs a table when you have an old wine barrel to offer up some rustic charm? We love this concept for a vineyard wedding, bringing in elements of the winemaking process.
- Decorate With Candles. Why not mix in some décor with your display? Add height and contrast with various platters and shelving, and deck it out with candlelight.
- Add a Bed of Greenery. Planning a grazing table for a winter wedding? A bed of evergreens on a bare wooden table creates that perfect forest feel. We love how this setting threw in king protea for an unexpected touch.
- Utilize Signage. Especially if you're including a variety of specialty meats and cheeses, you'll want your guests to know what they're getting. Miniature chalkboard signs are a cute way to ensure guests aren't left guessing what they’re eating.
- More Than Meats and Cheeses. Who says the whole table has to be meats and cheeses for charcuterie? Why not incorporate other options too? Fresh wraps, rolls, and decadent fruits and vegetables have an inviting farm-to-table flair.
- Frame a Gorgeous View. Plan your grazing table with a gorgeous view in mind. We love the idea of setting up a stunning display overlooking a beautiful backdrop.
- Go for Mini. While it's traditional to set up one big grazing table, why not turn the concept on its head? We love the idea of putting together mini grazing platters to set on individual reception tables for sharing.
- Choose an Unexpected Setting. A grazing table doesn’t actually require a table. Get creative with your spaces—this château ledge has a rustic Italian charm that complements a spread of bread, cheese, and grapes.
- Feature Foods Separately. Instead of mixing up antipasti, arrange meats, cheeses, and fruits on their own pedestals for a clean aesthetic. A centerpiece of prosciutto framed by salami is plated perfection.
