Notes
Tips for a Stunning Board
- Odd numbers look best on a board: grouping items in 3s or 5s adds visual interest.
- Try to vary the textures across the board - that is why we recommend 3 types of cheeses for a nice variety.
- Have a nice color balance - along with the dark purple blackberries, it's nice add other reds and pinks, as well as pops or green and yellows.
- Leave a little breathing room in the board so it's not too overcrowded.
