There are so many fabulous details and delicious looking dishes, I can’t wait for you to take a closer look!
Fall Dinner Party Tablescape Ideas
I absolutely love the variety of tones and textures at this fall table! The muted color palate works well to capture the essence of autumn and the mystique of a setting like Hogwarts. Notice all the details as you look through the pictures… red apples, pinecones, woven pumpkins and fall leaves intermingle with a mix of metal and wood tableware, antique keys and bronze candelabras as well as silver owls, black crows and fall gourds. This dinner party table is truly a delightful mix of textures, metals and organics.
I love how she used wooden crates and antique books to create height in her display, tucking in candles and vases in dark jewel colors for warmth. When decorating for a dinner party, take a look around your house – you may find the perfect piece for your table or serving board in an unexpected place!
Fall and Halloween are the perfect time of year to have some playful fun! Say yes to the black crow, serve appetizers among smoke with dry ice and use cauldrons as playful serving dishes!
