- Add bunches of grapes, halved figs, and marinated olives for freshness and color.

Notes
- Shape the wreath: Arrange ingredients in a circular pattern, leaving space in the center, to mimic a wreath design.
- Work in clusters: Group cheeses, meats, or fruits together instead of spreading them evenly, it looks fuller and more intentional.
- Add height: Fold or roll meats like salami and prosciutto to create texture and dimension.
- Balance colors: Place bright elements like figs, cranberries, and green olives around the board to keep the wreath visually balanced.
- Cracker placement: Keep crackers in a few sections rather than all around, so they don’t get soggy from moisture-heavy items.
- Serving tip: Provide small cheese knives and spoons for soft cheeses, olives, and spreads so guests can easily help themselves.
