Fall or Harvest time is one of
my favorite times of year because of the season's lush abundance. I feel
that because I was born in the Fall, I have a strong association with this
season because it symbolizes the start of something new - summer is over
and the holidays are coming!
For this Fall Themed Tablescape, I
want to convey the rich palette of color that makes this season so full of
life. As a result, this tablescape bursts with bright earth tone colors of
green, brown, yellow, orange and shades of red. Eating is so much more
fun when your table is a feast for the eyes!
For this Fall Tablescape, I
combined different sizes and textures of wood, ceramic, cloth, glass and organic
materials like vegetables and real leaves that show off Fall's abundance of
colors.
I like setting up the
dining room table ahead of time so I can enjoy it for a few days before the
main event. I like to accentuate the table with accessories that reflect
the season. For this tablescape, I am using a tablecloth with a fall leaf
design and a large mesh ribbon in the center. The design is topped off with a
wagon planter filled with the season's harvest.
This is one of those times
where mixing and matching plates are essential to promote the
colors of fall. I've also added white ceramic pumpkins to balance the
colors so there isn't too much orange.
Adding a playful
accessory, gives the wagon a bit of a character.
I've added a green organza
twisted tie cord with fringed tassels that wrap around the chair, giving the
chair itself some character, and blends in better with the color scheme.
The
leaf shaped plate brings out the colors of the plate and charger. The
napkin holders are covered with bountiful symbolism.
By adding
this whimsical tea pot, which I found in one of our travels, serving tea
is so much more fun!
Here's an appetizing way to serve bread and butter - a pumpkin cloth basket and stacked decorative leafy plates.
In everything I give THANKS!
