 Pop of Colour: How to Style Your Table with French Macarons


There’s something magical about a table that’s had just a little je ne sais quoi added to it. A bold runner, a perfectly placed favour, or a pop of colour in an unexpected place. It’s those little details that make guests pause and smile.

Whether you're styling a table for a wedding, a birthday dinner, or just hosting the kind of soirée that deserves something a little extra, adding colour doesn’t need to mean going overboard. With the right palette and some oh-so-chic touches (oui, we’re talking about macarons), you can transform a simple setting into a showstopper.

Let’s talk table dressing. We love a bit of elegance with an edge and that’s where colour does the heavy lifting. Start with your base, a clean, crisp tablecloth. Then bring in contrast with a runner in a bold, unexpected hue. Think lavender on white, or deep emerald against blush pink. This layered look instantly adds dimension and depth to your table.

Now for the fun part! The details. Invitations or menus placed on each plate setting. Choose a print design that echoes your colour scheme, whether it’s a splash of watercolour or a modern graphic design. Then, casually nestle a few loose macarons or your macaron favour boxes next to the place name. Their delicate shells and dreamy shades, pastel or punchy, depending on your vibe, will act like edible décor, oui, guests are allowed to sneak one before the starter. We won't tell. 

Why stop at looks? Let the flavours of your macarons bring something to the table too. Choose macarons that either match your colour scheme or playfully contrast with it. Pistachio green paired with coral linens? Raspberry pink on a navy runner?

If you're hosting a wedding or special event, opt for our personalised macaron place names and print names directly onto the shell, a little touch that feels incredibly thoughtful and effortlessly stylish.

Whether you're dreaming in pastels or leaning into bold brights, a few carefully chosen colours and a scattering of macarons are all you need to create a moment your guests won’t forget.
