Labour Day is here (at last!) A welcome chance for some rest, relaxation and celebration. Before you put your feet up and open the snacks, why not treat you & yours to a Labour Day Meal?
Check out Maple Kitchen Goods' Labour Day Table Guide for hints and tips for making this holiday extra-special.
Centerpiece:
The centerpiece can make or break your table display. It ties the broader decoration theme together and provides a focal point for your guests. Not only should it support your theme, but should be bold, characterful and visually pleasing.
Labour Day became a Canadian national holiday in 1872. So why not bring a little nineteenth century charm to your banquet? This Imani Candle Holder is an ideal centerpiece for a rustic labour day picnic. While its elegant design breathes victoriana, its brass design is long-lasting, and highly sustainable. Available for just $29.00 from Maple Kitchen Goods, the Imani Candle Holder is a must-have piece of vintage home decor.
Use some cute mini Canadian flags as accents around the table.
Rustic Picnics:
Labor Day is your last chance to make the most of the summer. It's no surprise that picnicking remains the activity of choice this holiday! While picnics are fun, they can be messy (and stressful) so bring the outside in with a rustic picnic-inspired table.
A gingham or checkered tablecloth in classic red and white creates a nostalgic picnic vibe and matches your patriotic decor. Include some wooden elements, like this vintage carved breadboard or our new Mango Wood Bowl and Serving Spoon Set.
Flowers:
Nothing says 'holiday' like flowers; classic, and understated, they look stunning and smell gorgeous. As Labor Day heralds the start of Fall, it's an opportunity to add an interesting twist to your traditional vase of blooms.
Before you sit down to eat, go outside and find some maple leaves and display them in these Vintage French Bistro Vases.
Scatter a few small pinecones, leaves, or sprigs of herbs (like rosemary or thyme) along the table for a natural touch.
Wrapping Up:
While there are many ways to celebrate Labour day, food is the place to start. Whether you're spending a cozy day indoors, enjoying the last of the summer wine, or off to see your city's Labour Day Parade, there's no better way to round off festivities than a family meal at a beautifully decorated table.
