HANDWRITTEN MENU

A large, handwritten menu creates a unique twist to fall festivities. It creates space for your guests to be ‘‘in the know’ for what they have to look forward to. You can also write something unique such as “Host’s Special” to add a fun surprise for your guests.

COPPER

Copper inspires the eye to the changing colors of fall. Layer speckled copper plates with casually elegant name placements. Keep the night going by using copper mugs to create autumn cocktails.

ELEMENTAL DESIGN

Bring the outside in. Create a unique aesthetic by using warm, rustic tones. Varying materials creates dimension and adds interest to the table. Incorporate wild birch into your display or have a bundle of firewood nearby -don’t forget to invite guests to stay for fireside s’mores.

BLACK

Monochromatic design can be used no matter the season. Whether it is small like matte black utensils or a larger statement such as ceramic plates — it adds something unexpected and fresh that your guests will fall in love with too. Add a pop of contrast with elegant gold utensils and personalized name cards. It’s all in the details.

OPEN AIR

As fall begins, the air is crisp and the leaves are changing. All the more reason to enjoy a meal with your favorite people in the midst of fresh air. Add subtle variations of light oranges with wildflowers and long, elegant candles -incorporate fresh greenery to add more variety. Line benches with fur or blankets to keep your guests at ease and in comfort as the evening dwindles.

GREEN GARLAND

Keep things simple by lining your table with eucalyptus. It will create a natural feel and slowly release an invigorating, lingering scent throughout the evening. Up your table setting with placing a succulent on each guest’s plate. Pair this display with red wine and white candles to create a gentle warmth -your guests will thank you.

SOFT NEUTRALS

Tones of grey, white, and soft creams created a muted feel to autumn table design. Elements of linen and ceramic pair perfectly with a centerpiece full of delicate wild grass or cotton stems. Finish off the evening with hot apple cider.
