Refined Décor

Italy is famous for simple yet refined décor, so you can rock light pastels or neutrals: ethereal table runners and napkins, eucalyptus and olive leaves for table runners, candles, wicker or silver plates, and even foodie décor: citrus, bread for place settings, tomatoes and herbs for making edible centerpieces. Decorate the chairs with flowers, greenery and add signs if you want. If the weather is good enough, you can go for al fresco tables with rustic décor, it will be so Italian-like!
