I’m in my element in the fall…..AHHHHH!
But what if you don’t love the warm tones of fall? How do you do a beautiful Thanksgiving table that works with your decor and still symbolizes this special time of year?
Have I got a post for you!
Whoever learned to engineer a white pumpkin opened the doors for fall tablescapes to be so much more than shades of orange and red.
Pair it with copper or black…

Or shades of green and pewter.
Martha Stewart
Or even gray.

Other neutrals work equally as well.
Go shiny rather than colorful like this setting from event planner extraordinaire, Colin Cowie.

Or shades of natural
Good Housekeeping
Or chocolate.
Country Living Or just hints of color….nobody does it better than Martha!
Martha Stewart
But what if you like more than a hint of color?
Purple is becoming a real player in the world of design, so it’s only natural it would show up in holiday decor. It complements the fall tones so well, and it seems that everyone is doing it!

ReplyDeleteI love orange, but banished it this year from our fall table.. must be something in the air! That purple table took my breath away - and I'm not a huge purple fan..great examples!
ReplyDeleteWOW Sally, What wonderful ideas! I like the Blue plates under the brown and white. I have brown and white already. Might try that sometime.And I want that crystal ball on the roots.
ReplyDeleteWhat great options, Sally! I have an orange-free zone myself and am hosting dinner at my place! I love those feathers...
ReplyDeleteaww thank you so much!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love all these ideas, especially the white pumpkins. Beautiful fall tablescapes!
ReplyDeleteHey sweet Sally!

un-bee-lieveable!
I have been enjoying
punches of orange
