Seasonal Inspiration & Décor Ideas
Every season brings its own special energy to the orchard and endless ways to make your event unique.
Spring: Celebrate renewal with floral accents, picnic tables draped in linen, and pastel-themed décor. The blooming trees create a naturally beautiful setting for outdoor luncheons or spring markets.
Summer: Embrace the vibrant colors of the orchard in full bloom. Use baskets of fresh peaches, sunflowers, and greenery to decorate buffet tables or photo areas. Summer evenings pair perfectly with live music, lemonade stands, and twinkle lights strung between the barns.
Fall: The most popular time for orchard events! Think rustic harvest themes hay bales, pumpkins, plaid blankets, and caramel apple bars. The golden foliage adds a warm glow, making it perfect for company outings or family celebrations.
Each season offers something fresh and at Breeden’s, you can style your event as simply or as creatively as you like.

Personal Touches That Make It Special

For team events, build in time for fun like yard games in the Activity Yard, guided tastings, or fire-pit s’mores under the stars. For birthdays and family gatherings, create cozy picnic setups with blankets and baskets sourced from the market.
Decorate with local florals, use orchard crates for displays, and lean into the scenery it’s already beautiful, so small details go a long way.
