Embellishments for Entertaining
The warmer weather lately here in New England is just nice enough to keep me from realizing that Thanksgiving is less then a week away, how time flies. For those of you that have the tasking of hosting this upcoming holiday, I wanted to give you another simple fall tablescape that can easily be put together quickly and pretty inexpensively.
A few weeks ago I wanted to do a little something to celebrate the Birthday of a very good friend of mine. It was an intimate gathering that was very casual, but of course its still a celebration, so I felt like sequins and champagne were in order. A few friends came by for dinner, to celebrate our lovely Birthday lady including their adorable 8 month old son, joining us at the table but unfortunately not quite old enough for a piece of birthday cake. The table had no shortage of sparkle with this amazing rose gold almost copper table cloth: 60”*102” Rectangle Sparkly Rose Gold Sequin Glamorous Cloth/fabric for Wedding/dessert Table
. The table was also flourished with some simple tealights that I found at goodwill and geometric lanterns.
Here in New England the colors are in full swing as dark red, orange and bright yellow leaves fall delicately to the ground. Although I dread it getting colder, looking down roads lined with a multitude of vibrant colors makes me appreciate the coziness of fall. When creating the tablescape for this large, casual family dinner I decided to incorporate all the beautiful colors. By adding two kinds of branches from the yard, not only being free but made the table almost have a foliage runner effect.
A few friends came over for a casual dinner and games, and given the time of year, I decided to add a few extra fall touches. I love white pumpkins, they are so lovely and bright but still very fall so I opted for a cream and gold tablescape theme filled with a large, beautiful blue and white pumpkin and small white natural and ceramic pumpkins with some added gold touches. The menu was very easy to throw together for a Friday after work with minimal time in the kitchen. Some apple wine and a bourbon pecan tart finished the meal into game time. Here is the dinner break down from the fall inspired table decor to the menu.
A friend and I had decided to host a 30th Birthday for a dear friend of ours this fall. After some thought and searching Pintrest I found a lot of photos and themes around Coachella and Boho style. Seeing as our friend at times can have a flower child vibe it was decided to throw a Boho/Festival themed gathering consisting of a low table and floor seating on serape rugs and pillows. After searching I came up with a few things that I thought would really add to the boho Coachella like theme:
