Guest Picks: Contemporary Tableware to Greet Fall
Rich colors and autumn themes and textures for the tabletop highlight the warmth of the season
Fall is the perfect time for gatherings. The weather cools, the holidays are approaching and the smell of falling leaves is in the air. I'd love to invite some of my closest friends over for a shared meal around my table — and if I did, I'd want to set the table to the nines. Here are some perfect choices for setting a table that's fit to greet autumn. — Chelsea from Lovely Indeed
Marimekko Lumimarja Orange Tablecloth
If you're getting a fall table setting together and want to make a statement right off the bat, start with a gorgeous tablecloth. I love the Marimekko pattern on this one, and the color is perfect for fall.
Feast Placemat
Placemats can also be so gorgeous when paired with the right centerpiece. Incorporate some black into your fall table with these.
Venezia Wooden Charger
If you don't have a set of dishes that are specifically for the fall season, try dressing up your everyday pieces with a charger. The rustic look of this Venezia charger from Williams-Sonoma would be great for autumn.
Harvest Pumpkin Tiny Taper Holders
Nestle some tapers into your centerpiece with these cute little pumpkin taper holders. I love how tiny they are.
Försöka Scented Block Candle
Pillar candles are also lovely on a table if tapers aren't your thing. These would be so great with the placemats from Crate & Barrel.
Tortoise Napkin Ring
These tortoise napkin rings from Crate & Barrel are fantastic. I'm hereby proclaiming that tortoise is the new neutral.
Gold-Dipped Flatware
Gold flatware in the fall seems so perfect to me. And it's something a little out of the ordinary for your guests to "ooh" and "aah" over.
Fondant Marble Cake Stand
Cake stands add some height to your table and can be used to serve more than just cake. Fill them with appetizers or a cheese course.
Amber Organic Double Old-Fashioned Glasses
The rich color of these old-fashioned glasses has me swooning. Use them as water glasses or to serve up a tasty libation at the table.
Greenhouse Cloche
I love interesting centerpieces, and these cloches would look great with some mini pumpkins inside them.
Himalayamix Potted Plant
I personally love adding a little life to a table with plants or florals. These mini plants from Ikea are super affordable, and they have a low profile so that they won't block guests from seeing and talking to each other.
Faux Oversized Pumpkins
You can never go wrong with some pumpkins in the fall. These faux pumpkins would be a lovely centerpiece, and you could use them again and again.
Champagne Mercury Glass Pumpkins
I'm loving these taller, mercury glass gourds as well. They'd be beautiful next to some candlelight.
Cylinder Shakers, Brass
I think I might have to get these salt and pepper shakers for my table ASAP, whether it's fall or not.
Tree Branch Place Card Holders by The Pettis Collection
If you're going super fancy and making seating arrangements, these rustic place card holders would be adorable.
Martha Stewart Collection Serveware, Park Leaves Gold Serving Utensils
The Martha Stewart Park Leaves collection at Macy's is so whimsical and wonderful. I love it all, but I especially love these serving utensils.
Condiment Pots
Don't forget a few little bowls or pots for condiments. These from Le Creuset are too cute to pass up.
