Five Tips On How To Style A Tiered Tray

September 12, 2016
Welcome to five Fall tiered tray tips and a prelude to our tiered tray extravaganza link party which will be open on Tuesday September 13 at 6:00 a.m. central time.

Today I am writing this post from lovely Sunny California where I am about to hike with my daughter on a portion of the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail).
Today we will be hiking 7 miles, reaching the peak of Thunder Mountain at an elevation of 9,400 feet.
The air is cool and dry and it feels SO good!
When we get to the summit today it will be a wonderful 57 degrees!

Sometimes styling a tiered tray can be overwhelming so I put together five simple tips for you today to style your own tiered tray.

I am also sharing two different ways that I have styled my vintage tiered tray.

Tiered Tray Tip #1

Tiered Trays are a perfect way to add seasonal displays, as well a food and beverages for

special events.

Tiered Tray Tip #2

Tiered Trays are a wonderful way to showcase those special dishes.

I am displaying my Grandmother's creamer, sugar bowl and butter dish.

Tiered trays are a unique way to display various collections, candles, vegetables and fruit.

I simply had to share this beautiful, artistic and hand painted chinoiserie pumpkin by my
dear friend Karolyn from  The Relished Roost.
She is so talented and her generosity and friendship are very dear to me.

Tiered Tray Tip #4

Tiered Trays add dimension and interest to Kitchen islands and decorative tables.

Tiered Tray Tip # 5

Tiered Trays can be used to add texture, colors, and seasonal themes.
Clay pots, napkins, leaves or flowers are always appealing to the eye.

  12. Good morning Jemma,
    What a sweet photo of you and your "baby doll!" Love your tiered tray! I should have ordered one....I looked everywhere locally to try and locate one but wasn't able to. So I can't join in but I am looking forward to seeing how they all turn out!

    It's a bit chilly today which is a refreshing change from the past few weeks' heat and humidity. Loving it! Enjoy your time in CA! Safe travels!

  13. Wow! Hiking the PCT...that's great. I just saw a friend's instagram of their campsite on the northern end of the Pacific Crest Trail closer to Canada and they had snow this morning. Enjoy your time and if you are done already hope all went well. Sweet baby doll! I have a tiered tray that I attempted and will add to the link tomorrow. ellen b.-The Happy Wonderer

  14. I so want to join in the tiered tray party now, but I have no tray! Maybe an improvised one using my cake stand will be in order ;) Your tiered tray is lovely, and looks so nice on your island. Thanks for all these helpful tips (I'll need them since I've not done this before!).

    Your baby granddaughter is adorable Jemma ... what a great photo of the two of you! Best of luck with the hiking today. Good for you! Seven miles (is that one way?!), gosh! you're going to be in great shape by the end of your visit! Don't forget to share your photos from the top :D happy trails!

  26. I am lovin' all the Fall goodies around your house, Jemma. Pacific Crest Trail in California!! Are you near Auburn area? It's so lovely there. I like how you added a bit of blue to your Fall décor, and your grandmother's sugar and creamer is a treasure, indeed.

    Have fun hiking the beautiful trails. Some of the finest in California.

    love, ~Sheri
