# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks absolutely showstopping but requires zero cooking skills—just thoughtful arrangement
  • Everything can be prepped ahead, so you're actually relaxed when guests arrive instead of stressed
  • The uniform color palette creates an Instagram-worthy moment that celebrates the bride without being overdone
  • Pairing it with sparkling wine makes everyone feel like they're part of something special
02 -
  • Slice your fruits as close to serving time as possible—pears especially oxidize quickly, and nobody wants brown edges on an elegant board
  • Temperature is everything. Chill your board, your cheeses, your wine. Cold elements taste fresher and keep people engaged longer
  • The magic is in the spacing and clusters. A crowded board looks chaotic. A thoughtfully spaced board looks intentional. Less is actually more here
  • Pat your pineapple and lychee completely dry—wet fruit makes your beautiful presentation weep and look sad
03 -
  • Buy your cheese from a quality shop if possible, and ask them to slice things the way you want—they're experts and they take pride in their work
  • White and pale yellow cheeses can look dull in dim lighting, so make sure your serving area is well-lit. The colors are part of the elegance
  • Set out small plates and napkins beforehand so people feel invited to enjoy, not guilty about eating
