Fall Tablescape Styling Idea #homeforfall

Yay fall! My favorite season! I don't know which I love more, the food or the decorating. So I want to give you some styling ideas for a fall inspired tablescape. This one is set up for a cocktail hour. So fun to create and very simple.
Come on in!
Come on in!
Looks like a lot of work, but it's a very simple menu. I picked up almost all of it at Trader Joe's.
A small charcuterie board served on slate includes manchego cheese, chianti salami, apple slices, mango chutney, dried cranberries, and farmhouse cheddar with a honey drizzle.
A few appetizers from the frozen dept....mushroom turnovers, chicken parm pops, pastry bites with carmelized onions and feta cheese. Yum!
Some dipping pretzels with stone ground mustard and a bowl of mixed nuts.
I used a box of butternut squash soup for these mini tasting bowls. I love the little spoons! I added a dollop of greek yogurt and sprinkled a little berbere spice for color and a kick! A grey linen napkin tied with jute and a sage sprig makes the perfect cozy for a loaf of french bread. (from our line of European Linens).
Some wine and pumpkin ale of course! I rimmed these small tasting glasses with a cinnamon sugar mix. So good!
So that's the food, now for the decorating. I always start with my layers...trays, platters, platforms, crates. I lay it out keeping the flow in mind and the reach. You want it all to be easily accessible.
Now for the the fun stuff! Flowers and props! Keep it simple. I have one large centerpiece down the center and I just coordinated everything else with the green/burgandy preserved hydrangeas. These pears were the perfect color and I love decorating with produce. You can eat the decorations after! These artichokes are dried however, so no consuming.
Just a few paper mache pumpkins from the shop (because I couldn't find any real ones yet:)
