getting creative with your fall tablescape
Instead of dining on pumpkin spice pancakes at your favorite brunch spot this fall, you will likely be dipping your toes into at-home hosting. Gathering a few friends or family members safely together around your table is the best way to connect in the era of social distancing, and your fall tablescape will set the tone for the entire event.
​
These tips will help you maximize your use of seasonal decor as you design an incredible fall tablescape:
​
Establish a Color Palette for the Tablescape
Before you begin investing in seasonal decor to add to your tablescape, you will want to decide on a color palette for your season of at-home hosting. Classic hues of burnt orange, wine or chocolate brown will always work well during this season, but trends are showing that extra pops of color add a touch of life to your decor. Consider touches of royal blue or turquoise in your palette.
Don't be afraid to think outside of the box when it comes to picking your color pallette. Often times fall foliage or fall floral arrangements can be used as inspiration to find unique color combinations that will make your tablescape come to life.

Invest in a Simple Yet Stylish Centerpiece
The centerpiece will take center stage on your fall tablescape. Fall foliage is the perfect choice for the first layer of your elevated tablescape. From there, you can add height to the tablescape by incorporating pumpkins, gourds or candlesticks into the centerpiece. Interesting and surprising details, like scattered acorns or tucked-in air plants can add an organic touch to the scene. It's important to design a centerpiece that suits your personality, complements your home decor and defines the event you are hosting at home.
Choose Place Settings & Glassware to Complement the Look
Sticking with neutral plates and plain glassware can allow your elevated tablescape to be the shining star of the event, but unique details can wrap the place settings into the overall look. One fall trend to keep an eye on is rose gold utensils. This tone complements nearly any color palette, and adds a dynamic touch to the tablescape.
​
Designate a Space for Everyone with Seasonal Place Cards
The final touch that you add to your tablescape should be place cards for your event. Place cards are an inclusive and welcoming touch that eliminate the confusion of trying to find the best place to take a seat. Seasonal place cards that match your tablescape will allow for organization at your gathering without being a distraction to the look and feel of your event.
Your fall tablescape will set the tone and style for your event. Whether you are looking to host a personalized yet elegant celebration for a friend, or you want to gather a few people for a casual night of conversation, you need a tablescape that elevates your event to the next level.
