Nature-Full Ideas for Harvest Season Tablescapes
Harvest Becomes the Centerpiece
Foraging in the woods when it’s time to create a backdrop for food always works. Think beyond the fancy flowers. Branches are everywhere and always in style! Even the simplest assemblage will be insta-worthy.
Amber + Emerald Color Scheme
Isn’t this fruit punch (above) evocative? Reminds me of a Vermeer! Can we freeze fresh fruit then float it in a delicious punch? Yes, kittens. Yes, we most certainly can.
Bake brie in a pretty storebought pastry and reserve some dough to cut out fall leaves. Are we all going to now hunt for a moody green marble board? I’ve got you:
It certainly provides a stunning contrast with the amber pastry oozing with cheesy goodness.
When I consider fall table showstoppers, my thoughts turn to an unforgettable tablescape for autumn by Helen Norman for Southern Living.
Breathtaking Tablescapes for Autumn
Remember this breathtaking fall red and teal table in the dreamiest barn with little lights?
Would teal and crimson work for your harvest season table? Such a rich and royal autumnal palette that feels timelessly elegant!
Anyone feeling the itch to browse FB Marketplace, a local antique store, or Etsy for pretty vintage things this very moment? Are vendors near you showing off pewter and “fall feels” wares?
Maybe I have watched and re-watched The Lost Kitchen episodes too many times, but I’m smitten with the idea of mixing beautiful blue vintage china patterns. What joy to collect pieces through the year.
For the beautiful branches with warm orange leaves…remember you can find such specimens on a hike through the park. Any source will do as you keep your eyes peeled for fallen branches. I gather them all the time when I’m at our Arizona place and have mostly hardscape for the “yard.”
It may be difficult to snip a branch before the leaves turn nasty. Try immersing a branch in very hot water for a few seconds and then plunging into cold to extend freshness.
Rustic Country Organic Inspiration
Helen Norman’s IG shares glimpses of her property Star Bright Farm. Here’s a peek at the shop:
Hers is an inspiring relaxed approach to entertaining.
She does it right in the garden! Imagine setting up a table for a laidback gathering with friends…
I just love her styling and approach. She has brought so much inspiration to our lives in shelter magazines through the years. Cozy sophistication? It’s a thing where she is at the helm.
Pomegranate Cornucopia Centerpiece
Will velvety pumpkins ever fall from favor? Still everywhere, we seem to see less velvety pomegranates. Why should pumpkins have all the fun?
A velvet pom atop a marigold cloth napkin? Yes, Martha, yes.
Once I begin to descend into Martha tablescape content online, the hours add up. One gorgeous gathering after the other across seasons, across decades and millennia! For no good reason (except *ahem* many are already dusting off their Christmas trees), a peaceful study of GREEN ELEGANCE:
Tone on tone is powerful beyond neutrals, and the coppery warmth of the floor with the green!?!
