Fall Dinner Party Part II

Hello there lovelies!

This past week I shared the first part of my dinner party series including the menu, the inspiration. Today, it’s all about the tablescapes, the centerpieces, and favors! Oh I LOVE favors and especially the handmade kind- they are so much more special than anything store bought. 

Creating a tablescape isn’t that intimidating at all and in fact you can use whatever you have on hand. There’s no need to go buy colored linens or spend a lot of money. If you have a white/cream colored table cloth, use it! Then layer that with some orange or yellow votives down the length of the table. You can find votives anywhere and to add a special touch tie a ribbon around the votive. Try an orange candle with a light green ribbon or a red candle with a mustard yellow ribbon.

Design Candy

Tablescapes

This is the epitome of simple elegance! I found this on Sentimental Sublime and just fell in love with it! You don’t need to go overboard on the tablescape as long as you make some smart design choices. Instead of a tall flower arrangement like the one pictured above use a mason jar and wrap some hemp or ribbon around the jar and use flowers that are fresh in season! 

Place cards

This is just another example of simplistic elegance and understated loveliness! This is actually a centerpiece for a wedding(WeddingBee Boards) but it works for a tablescape too. The colors are all in the green family but look how a monochromatic theme can really spruce up your table. Again, the mason jar centerpiece is just darling! This is definitely rustic elegance that can be easily recreated at home.

Isn’t this just precious?! Having a dinner party is fantastic but why stress? I’m all about making things less complicated and let’s face it creating individualized place cards isn’t for everyone especially when it’s time consuming. It’s super simple and plus this could count as your favor!

You will need

1. Apples (Gala apples normally have stems on them)
2. Any color cardstock of your choice
3. Permanent marker
4. String/ Ribbon 

Directions

1. Cut your cardstock into squares or rectangles big enough to fit a name onto 
2. Write down your guests’ names 
3. Voila! You have a unique place card

Favors

Have a sweet day!
