Autumn Leaves on a Fall Tablescape
This Autumn Leaves Tablescape includes the dishes that I used on a similar tablescape in 2020 and then before that on another tablescape that I did in 2015 but I have reworked the rest of it a bit and I used some different elements this time. The falling leaves tablecloth came from HomeGoods several years ago. I have the matching napkins but I decided not to use them on this table setting because the tablecloth is busy. The three different colors of the dishes on the table were dictated by the colors of the leaves on the tablecloth.
These small leaf shaped bowls are some of my favorite bowls. I found them at Sur La Table several years ago and it was serendipity and great luck that they match the plates exactly!
The dinner and salad plates came from Pier 1 several years ago and they were part of their Spice Route collection. Pier 1 called the colors; clove, ginger, and paprika. I really like the beaded design around the rim of the plates.
The salad plate and the dinner plate are the same pattern except the dinner plate is larger in size.
I bought these gold colored glass chargers many years ago and I can’t remember where. I remember that I bought them a few at a time over several months until I had twelve because they were expensive. They are heavy glass and this is actually the first time that I have used them! I have pulled them out many many times to use on a table setting and they never looked right until now. The charger edge reminds me of leaves.
This amber flatware was made by D & D Inox in Italy. I bought it online at Neiman Marcus or Bloomingdales during a major sale many years ago. I liked this pattern and it was a really good sale so I have the same pattern in cream, wine red, and dark aqua. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.
The napkins all came from World Market many years ago when I first started tablescaping. They are the perfect colors for Fall tablescapes. and perfect matches for the dishes, and the leaves on the tablecloth. The metal leaf napkin rings in different colors were made by Park Designs but I can’t remember where I found them online.
When I saw these natural wood leaves I knew that I could use them as place card holders after Hubby painted them to match the dishes. I can’t remember where they came from but it might have been Michael’s.
The green acrylic goblet on the left came from HomeGoods a few years ago. The amber glass goblet on the right came from Z Gallerie online a few years ago. I love that they have the same shape but one is taller than the other one. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets for your tablescaping collection including the colors that I use most often here.
I was looking for a long wooden box that I could use as a centerpiece and when I found one that I liked on Etsy the cost for shipping it was ridiculous so I showed the photo to Hubby and he built this one for me a few years ago. He also built another one that is a bit larger too. I filled the box with faux pumpkins and gourds and leaves that I have collected over the years and I added two orange candles. When I started tablescaping, I bought lots of candles in all different colors and sizes so I would have them when I needed them. I usually find them on Amazon or at HomeGoods. I asked Hubby to match the finish on the wooden box with the color of my Stickley hutch and I think he did a great job!
In Southern California we only have a few trees that change color but this tablescape really reminds me of Fall.
