An evening feast in golden light

We were spending a weekend in Stavanger, one of those cherished getaways with family and friends. That evening, we had planned a simple barbecue, nothing fancy, just the joy of being together.

 

But as the day unfolded, a thought came to me:

​

What if tonight’s dinner could be more than just a barbecue?

What if we turned it into a beautiful table, inspired by the nature around us?

On our way back from a walk, Camille and I gathered armfuls of wildflowers. Simple treasures, picked along the paths.

​

Back home, Blandine joined us, and together we trimmed, arranged, and placed them into small, makeshift vases.

​

As the sun slowly set, we began to set the table. Nothing complicated, just what we had on hand… and flowers, everywhere. Because truly, is there anything more beautiful than a table filled with blooms ?

​

With so little and a touch of creativity, we managed to create something simple yet full of grace.

That evening, the real luxury was in the details, and in the joy of making it together.

​

Anaïs arrived just in time to capture the moment, and her photos carry all the softness of that summer night.

A few easy tips:

​

  • Gather what nature offers : wildflowers, tall grasses, branches.

  • Repurpose what’s at hand : jars, bottles, even jam pots make lovely vases.

  • Play with height and texture to bring movement.

  • Add soft light with candles or lanterns.

  • Keep it natural : a linen cloth, or simply a cotton sheet draped with ease.

  • Slip in a fragrant touch: sprigs of rosemary or thyme tied around napkins, both pretty and aromatic.

 

 

Because sometimes, the simplest things are the most magical. ✨
