Dining Outdoors in the Pacific Northwest

One of my favorite places to set a table outdoors is in my backyard at my home in Washington. Our patio area is surrounded by evergreen trees and it’s always so beautiful, especially in the spring and summer.

The Place-Setting

I’m so in love with these beautiful Giulietta Blue Dishes from Arte Italica and the table runner and napkins from Crown Linen Designs. The napkins were specially designed to go with this dinnerware. (Sources are linked in the highlighted text and at the bottom of the post)

Giulietta Salad Plates

You can see the detail on these beautiful linen napkins.

Crown Linen Designs napkins are linked here:

I mixed and matched the Arte Italica dinnerware and I love how it’s versatile it is.

The Centerpiece

I cut blue and white hydrangeas and other greenery from my yard and picked up some other flowers at the local market. The blue hydrangeas in my yard were in full bloom and matched the dinnerware perfectly.

I added some poppy seed pods and greenery to the hydrangeas and arranged them in a matching blue and white  Giulietta pitcher to create this centerpiece. I layered a linen table runner underneath it and then tucked some more hydrangeas around the base of the pitcher.

I had extra flowers and another beautiful pewter pitcher from Arte Italica so I made another flower arrangement. You can never have enough flowers!

More Details……

I then added some candles and placed them around the table. I love the romantic ambiance that candles add to an outdoor table.

I also added some of the blue Giulietta doves to the middle of the table. These are so beautiful and I placed them on either side of the flowers.

I added mini salt and pepper shakers to each place setting.

Add Dessert to the Table

Another thing that I like to do is add the dessert to the table. You can add the rest of the food if you like to serve it that way or you can always do buffet style too. Adding dessert to the table is decorative and adds extra beauty to the table. I bought this lemon blueberry cheesecake and set it on a little pedestal cake stand and it was delicious!

Don’t be afraid to mix and match dinnerware and wine glasses. I didn’t have enough of each item to create six identical place-settings so I mixed and matched what I had to create this tablescape.

Another view of the full tablescape.

Are you wondering what I served for dinner? I made my Roasted Beef Tenderloin, Scalloped Potatoes with Fontina Cheese, Rustic Bread, and a yummy salad.

I am looking forward to many dinners outside this spring and summer! I hope you found this tablescape inspirational and full of ideas on how to style an outdoor spring tablescape.

Martha Stewart Collection Spring and Easter Tablescape

I created this Spring and Easter Tablescape using the Baroque Dinnerware and other items from the Martha Stewart Spring Collection from Macy’s. I love the colors of this collection and the versatility of the dinnerware and other serving pieces.

This post contains affiliate links. Everything is linked throughout the post and also at the bottom. I do my best to link all the items in the tablescape and other items that are similar when possible.

The Centerpiece

I created a longer centerpiece garland to cover the center of the table. One reason I do this often in my tablescapes is because I have a very long table and there’s a lot of space fill up. It tends to look bare when I don’t have much of a centerpiece. These garland centerpieces I am known for creating are the perfect solution for a long table. You can recreate this on a smaller table as well.

To create this garland centerpiece, I started with three individual artificial floral garlands and then wired them together to make them a bit fuller.

Next I filled in any holes and areas that looked uneven using faux eucalyptus stems and faux tulips and peonies.

I always “fluff” my flowers to make them fuller too. I also used a table runner underneath.

The Place-Setting

For the place-setting I like to layer the dinnerware.

I used the Baroque Dinnerware from Macy’s and it is one of my favorite sets from the Martha Stewart Collection. It’s a beautiful and versatile set. They added this floral salad plate for Spring to this collection. If you click here you can see the dinnerware without the floral salad plates. I did a tablescape in the fall with the same dinnerware.

Here you can see the tablescape without the bowl on top. I like it both ways so I took photos of both to show how versatile this dinnerware set is. I also like the flexibility of having the bowl on top of the plates, depending on what I’m serving. The bowls and salad plate can be used for your desert.

Here’s another look at the table without the bowl. Which do you prefer?

I decided to use bright, solid colored linen napkins to compliment the Baroque Dinnerware. With the dinnerware being so white and bright, I wanted to add a pop of color to tie into the floral design on the plates. The gold flatware and glasses also compliment the gold rim on the plate! I love those little details and how they bring everything together.

The bunny ear napkin rings also give the table a touch of easter decor and make the table a little less formal which I like.

How to Transition this Tablescape from Easter to Spring

I am a big fan of creating versatile table decor and tablescapes. To transition this Easter tablescape to a Spring tablescape, you could replace the bunny napkin rings with something neutral or don’t use a napkin ring at all. You can change out the napkin to a different color and style it differently. I also remove anything from the table that is “Easter” themed but you can always keep it on the Spring if you like!

More Details

You can also add other details, serving pieces, and decor items that are decorative as well as functional. I’ve added in some different options here to give you some ideas.

Above, you can see the Easter Bunny salt and pepper shakers as well as a butterfly shaped dish. This could be used for jam and butter if you’re serving bread. It could also be a salt and pepper holder if you wanted to transition this to spring and not have the bunnies on the table.

Here you can see I removed the butterfly dish and added these cute little  mint green coquettes. These are also great for serving items like jam and butter as well. They are also really cute and add color and detail to the table.

I like to have the same items at each end of the table because it’s so long but you could mix and match items you have too!

Here I added a matching bunny serving platter. This would be great for bread or rolls or for whatever you’re serving. I often get asked if I ever put the food on the table and the answer is yes, but it depends on who’s eating! My table is reclaimed wood and stains easily, so to help keep in in good condition, I tend to serve buffet style, especially when there are kids! Okay, some adults can be messy too but I will never disclose who that may be in our family! LOL!!

These darling mugs also come with the dinneware collection and you could also add these to your table if you’d like to have coffee after your dinner. Aren’t they the cutest mugs?!!

I will link all the sources I can below, but feel free to email me or message me here in the comments or on Instagram. Follow along with me there @homewithhollyj, on Pinterest, and please subscribe to my blog so you’ll never miss a post!

Summer/Fall Sunflower Centerpiece

I’m sharing all the sources and details of this easy to make Summer/Fall Sunflower Centerpiece. It was really easy to make and I love that it works perfect for summer and easily transitions into fall.

Antique English Salt Glaze Stoneware Crock

I found this beautiful antique english salt glaze stoneware crock at a local store in Utah called Highland Gardens. They had many sizes and I thought it would work perfect for this summer to fall floral arrangement.

Using Artificial Flowers

I love fresh flowers but I also enjoy using artificial or faux flowers. They last forever and you can use them over and over again and they never die!

Summer to Fall Colors

I chose yellow and orange colored flowers because they work well for the summer as well as the fall. I love how this turned out and using the antique salt glaze crock added another layer of fall-ish colors to my arrangement.

I’ve linked all the sources for the flowers and some similar salt glazed crocks below. This crock is an antique so I linked some similar items that would work for you to replicate this same look!

I like to place a centerpiece arrangement in the center of my island in my kitchen for each season.

Everyone asks how I reach the island…….well here’s the behind the scenes!

I literally have to crawl or slide myself out to the middle of the island!

I hope you enjoyed seeing how I made this Summer/Fall Sunflower Centerpiece that I created for my kitchen! You may also enjoy seeing there posts here:

Lavender and Teal Spring Tablescape

I’m sharing all the details of this beautiful Lavender and Teal Spring Tablescape that I set for Sunday dinner a few weeks ago. The darker purple and teal colored flowers were the inspiration behind this tablescape. I love mixing and matching dishes to come up with new place settings and this tablescape came together so beautifully.

The Place-setting

For the place setting on this spring tablescape, I mixed and matched different sets of dishes I already had. I started with a charger, then layered a dinner and salad plate on top. When I set a table, I think about what I’ll be serving for dinner, and that’s how I decide on how many dishes to use in the place setting.

I love the mix of the solid charger on the bottom, the polka dot dinner plate in the middle, and another solid plate on top for the salad.

I also chose a solid-colored napkin and a natural hyacinth placemat.

The Garland Centerpiece

When I serve buffet style, which I did here, I will usually create a garland centerpiece for the middle of the table. Here, I used a base greenery garland and then layered in the faux flowers into it. I love the contrast between the dark purple and lavender flowers and the different shades of green in the garland.

I used a burlap table runner underneath the garland.

Last but not least, I added teal candlesticks and lavender candles to the table.

Spring, Easter, and Mother’s Day

I hope you enjoyed seeing all the details of my teal and lavender spring tablescape! One thing I love about this one is that it can be easily transformed with a few tweaks for Easter and Mother’s Day! For Easter, I just changed out the napkin rings and added some white bunnies into the garland and onto the table. For Mother’s Day, I will leave it as is! I’m always happy when I can make tablescapes work for multiple occasions and holidays!

Here are some other tablescapes I’ve done that you might like too! Most importantly, they are all versatile and can be used for Easter, Spring, and Mother’s Day.

Happy Spring!

I get asked often where I get my faux flowers, dishes, and other home decor items so I thought I’d put this post together sharing all my favorite Spring Decorating Essentials for your Home!

One of the items I added to my kitchen this year was a new pink rug. I looked for months and finally found this one and it was a steal!

I will link everything throughout the post so scroll down four sources!

The Kitchen Decor Essentials

I love having a ginger jar filled with flowers and these faux flowers are my favorite! If you take good care of them, you can use them year after year.

Faux Flowers and Branches

Ginger Jars and Vases

I also like to add flowers to other spaces in my home. To add some spring decor to my living room, I filled a ginger jar with faux blossom branches and faux pussy willow stems.

Here I used more ginger jars on the coffee table.

My Favorite Spring Dishes

Spring gives me the perfect excuse to pull out all my pink and white dishes! You can never have enough pink!

This is my Easter/Spring tablescape. I love this french blue color palette mixed with rustic wood accents.

Lavender and White Easter Tablescape

Disclaimer: This post does include affiliate links for your convenience. This is at NO additional cost to you but earns me a small commission. To read more, check out our disclosure policy.

Welcome friends! I’m excited to share my Elegant Lavender and White Easter Tablescape with you!

If you arrived here from  Home With Holliday, I’m so excited you’re here! Holliday Johnson “Holly” is Home With Holliday and I’m the other Holly at Home With HollyJ! We have become good friends after finding each other on Instagram! Holliday loves entertaining and setting a beautiful table as much as I do. We are so alike it’s crazy! Don’t forget to check out the other ladies in our Easter Tablescape blog hop for more inspiration! I’ll share the links at the bottom of the post!

It’s so hard to believe that we will most likely be celebrating Easter without all our extended family due to social distancing and stay-at-home orders due to the coronavirus pandemic. It’s not looking like we will be able to attend church services on Easter Sunday or gather with our large family for Easter dinner. I know we will make the best of it and find a way to make it a special day. No matter what happens though, one thing is for sure! My Easter table will be set and ready to host whoever is here with us.

I have really been on a lavender kick lately! I keep finding the most beautiful lavender-colored dishes which inspired this Lavender and White Easter Tablescape. I bought these Anthropologie plates over the summer and have been waiting for the right time to use them. I think you’ll love this tablescape just as much as I do.

The Inspiration for this Tablescape

What inspired this Lavender Easter Tablescape? Two reasons! First. it’s Easter (and spring) and a perfect time to use this color combo, second, I had another tablescape photoshoot using these lavender and white poppy dishes for a collaboration I was doing for a ceramic company. I figured I’d get the most out of the centerpiece arrangement I made for that photoshoot.

Look at the flowers on the dishes I received from Bico Ceramics! The anemones look very similar to their Poppy dishes. These dishes are out of stock at the moment but when they are back, I’ll link them here for you!

I was able to get some fresh anemone flowers from my friend Amy’s beautiful flower farm while I was home in Washington. These flowers look very similar to the flowers on the dishes. (Laughing Goat Flower Farm)

Amy is a dear friend of mine and her farm is near my other home in Washington. She cut the anemones the morning I was flying back to Utah and I carried them on the plane with me for my shoot the next day. I was so happy that they lasted long enough for me to create and photograph this Easter tablescape. It’s such a blessing to have a friend who grows amazing flowers and shares them with you. My photo doesn’t do either the dishes or the flowers justice!

Okay! Now back to the tablescape! I just had to share a few of those photos of the other table!

The Centerpiece

I created an asymmetrical centerpiece for the middle of the table using the anemones from Amy’s farm and then filled in the rest with store-bought flowers.

Since my table is so large, it can feel a little empty in the middle with just one large centerpiece. To fill in the space some, I pulled out some artificial greenery and layered it on either side of the centerpiece. I then added a few faux flower stems to it. Can you tell the difference between the fresh and faux flowers? I often mix fresh and faux flowers depending on what I’m doing and if what I need isn’t in season. The good thing about faux is they never die and you can use them many times over if you take care of them and store them properly. I still prefer fresh flowers of course, but sometimes you just use what you have!

Lastly, I added the white Easter sign from Krumpets Home Decor in the middle of the table and tucked some small white ceramic bunnies throughout the garland. I then added these bunny salt and pepper shakers on either end of the table. Right when I was finished setting the table and getting ready to photograph it, the rustic candlesticks I had ordered from Magnolia arrived! Just in time! I love how they tie into the rustic silverware I used.

I forgot to mention the table runner! It’s actually two of them! (HomeGoods) My table is so long that I have to buy two of them usually so that they hang over the edge. You don’t have to have them hang over the edge though and one will work too. I just like to change it up and these lace table runners are so pretty. Another white element in the table to compliment the lavender dishes and tie into the charger and napkin rings.

The Place-setting

The dishes are from Anthropologie (linked below~~ the photos are incorrect in the source section so just click through the photos that look like multi-colored napkins) and they are even more stunning in person. I started with a white wood charger then layered the dinner and salad plate on top.

You can see the details of the plates in this close-up shot. I love how the white charger compliments the dishes. I used my silver rustic silverware which goes so nicely with the rustic reclaimed wood table and candlesticks. To make it Easter themed, I used these adorable bunny ear napkin rings from Krumpets Home Decor. I love how the napkin ring is flat on the bottom so it stands up once you slide the napkin in and this is one fun element that the kids will love! How cute are these?

The Easter Tablescape that Transitions to a Spring Tablescape

One thing I always try to do when decorating for any holiday is to decorate for the season too. I try to create my tablescapes to be versatile to save time and expense. I’ll create a garland centerpiece for the table for Spring and then I’ll add different items into the garland for Easter. When Easter is over, I can take out the Easter decor and leave it as is for Spring or I can change up the dishes or napkins for Mother’s Day. So many possibilities!

Here’s an example of one I did for Spring, St. Patrick’s Day, and Mother’s Day! This is one of my favorites! This one here is one I made for Winter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Valentine’s Day! I created eleven different tablescapes with the same centerpiece garland!

Also, here are some other tablescapes I’ve created that all have a lavender theme. I didn’t realize how much I liked lavender until I noticed how much I’ve used it in my tablescapes this past year. I created this first one for a Yankee Candle collaboration in the fall but this would work perfectly for Easter and Spring too!

Here’s another tablescape I created last summer with Teal and Lavender. The polka dot plates and the robin’s egg blue colors remind me of Spring and Easter! Lavender and Teal Spring Tablescape

One last lavender-themed tablescape! I set this table in my backyard at my home in Washington last summer when I hosted a dinner party for my girlfriends. I used fresh lavender plants as the centerpiece. Oh…..this makes me excited for summer and outdoor dinners! Click here to see more of the Simple Lavender Inspired Centerpiece.

Whew! That was a lot! I hope you enjoyed this post and that it inspires you to set the table and gather your friends and family. Sometimes it’s good to go all out and other times it’s nice to keep it simple. Hopefully, you’ve seen a little of both!

Thanks for stopping by!  Now, head on over to my other tablescaping bff, Lory,  To Have To Host to see how she set her Easter table. Lory, Holliday, and I have met up in person and become real-life friends. It’s so fun making friends with these amazing ladies who all love to host and entertain! Happy Easter and I hope you’re all staying healthy and safe and that you have a wonderful easter celebration however that may be.

Easter Tablescape with Mint Green and White Colors

Today I’m excited to share all the details of my latest Easter Tablescape with Mint Green and White Colors with you. I hope this tablescape inspires you to set your own beautiful table for Easter dinner. This tablescape can also work as a St. Patricks Day Tablescape by removing all the bunnies and it can also work for a Spring Tablescape too!

The Place-setting-Mint Green and White Dinnerware

When searching for dishes I found these white and mint green polka dot bowls and salad plates as well as the mint green dinner plates at HomeGoods. The mint green plates have been one of my most versatile sets of dishes. I also have the salad a plates and bowls from this set and it’s so fun mixing and matching the dishes for totally different looks.

For the chargers, I found these at Hobby Lobby and they were very affordable.

The stained wood bunny napkin rings were also a HomeGoods find.

I folded the napkins in half and then back and forth to create this fan look. I then slid the napkin ring onto the folded napkin.

Here’s some items to recreate this look. At the end of the post there’s more items I used in this post linked and alternative items.

The Centerpiece Garland

Instead of using a table runner this time, I decided to use a tablecloth that matched the napkins. I layered the garland greenery on top of the tablecloth and then added in different faux green stems and white faux flowers.

I found these white ceramic bunnies at HomeGoods. I nestled them into the garland and set them around the table. I linked similar ones below.

I found some matching egg shaped plates and set them on both ends of the garland to be used for butter plates when it’s time to serve Easter dinner.

The tablecloth was a little bit short for my extra long table but I tried it anyways and I like that some of the natural wood is showing and creates a nice contrast to all the bright green.

To finish off the table I added some fluffy pillows into the end chairs to complete the look.

The Easter Tablescape

I hope you enjoyed this tablescape as much as I did creating it! We always enjoying spending time as a family for Sunday dinner and Easter Sunday is always an extra special day when I go all out on my tablescape.

How to Create a Versatile Winter Centerpiece Garland

Today I’m sharing how to create a versatile winter centerpiece garland for my dining table. This is the most versatile garland centerpiece and I’ve used it over and over again to create different Tablescapes for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Winter, and Valentines Day.

Disclaimer: This post does include affiliate links for your convenience. This is at NO additional cost to you but earns me a small commission. To read more, check out our disclosure policy.

I created this garland centerpiece out of one faux cedar garland and then added different types of faux branches and picks into it. I added frosted eucalyptus and painted pine cone picks. All of this is laid on top of a table runner.

To store it and re-use it again, I cut up a large cardboard box and folded the sides up. I slide it onto the cardboard box using the table runner to help slide it and then wrap it in plastic. Doing it this way keeps it in tact and makes it easy to move to the storage room.

Why This is my Favorite Garland Centerpiece

One of the reason’s I love this centerpiece garland so much is that I can put it on the table in early November and use it all the way through winter. I’ll share all the different Tablescapes I’ve created using this same base garland. Even I was surprised at how many versions I’ve done when I put them all together in this post.

Using this same centerpiece garland over and over again is a great way to reuse your holiday decor and it save time and money. You can also do this with real branches and flowers but it won’t last as long! I’ve done it both ways mixing faux and fresh. Be creative and do what works best for you!

Thanksgiving, Christmas, Winter, Valentines Day and More!

I usually decorate for Christmas in early November and so I always try to create a versatile garland centerpiece that can be changed multiple times in multiple ways.

I’ll share all the different versions and little detail on each tablescape below. Not only can you add different things into the garland for each holiday and winter season, but you can also change it up by using different dishes, table linens, votive candle holders, and candlesticks. I always change out the pillows in the end chairs to match too.

2017 Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Winter Versions

This is the first Thanksgiving tablescape I made with this garland. To make it work for Thanksgiving, I added in silver turkeys, silver mercury pumpkins, and some other taupe colored pumpkins made out of fabric. For the place settings I used my white and silver fine china which was a gift from my husband for our twentieth anniversary. To make it more elegant, I used votive candle holders nestled into the garland and silver candlesticks with white pillar candles.

As soon as Thanksgiving was over I took out all the pumpkins and turkeys and added in silver mercury ornaments to transform it to my Christmas tablescape. I also changed the dishes to my everyday blue dishes and switched out the napkins. These simple changes changed the entire look of the table.

I added the little reindeer salt and pepper shakers. I love adding these small details!

When Christmas was over, I took out all of the ornaments and changed the place-setting again to make it more neutral for the rest of the Winter season

You can see how different it looks by changing things up with the place-setting, linens, and other items added to or removed from the base garland.

Here are some other versions for 2018 and 2019.

2018 Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Winter Versions

This is a tablescape I created for Jordan Winery. I used my blue and white dishes with silver napkins. I added in velvet pumpkins as well as the silver turkeys. I love how the blue and green look together.

To change things up for this years Christmas tablescape, I added in blue tiny bottle brush trees and blue ornaments along with the silver mercury glass ornaments.

2019 Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Winter Versions + a Valentines Version for the Beginning of 2020

Here’s one other way I used the same garland as a centerpiece. I host a Christmas cookie exchange every year and the garland was a perfect centerpiece.

Sometimes after we’ve had family dinner, I will take all the dishes off the table and just leave the garland centerpiece on it’s own. For this one, I left the winter white frosted peonies and the mistletoe stems I had put in the tablescape for this years decor. Each year I add something new into the base to make it different.

I wanted to enjoy the winter decor I’d left up after Christmas and I had this idea to add some pink flowers into the garland and use it for Valentines Day! I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before!

I love how it turned out and it’s now on my list of favorites! I like the idea of combining my Valentines Day decor with my winter decor. This saved me so much time and money! The only thing I bought for this Pink and White Hearts Valentines Day Tablescape was the heart shaped plates. I love it when I can pull something like this off without a ton of effort!

I added in some pink votive candle holders and the little “love” sign at the end of the garland. I also used rose gold miniature salt and pepper shakers. I filled the salt shakers up with pink Himalayan salt and they are so cute!

I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing the all the different ways I’ve reused this same winter centerpiece garland. I might just keep it up until Saint Patricks Day! I counted twelve different Tablescape variations with this one base garland!

Enjoy!

XOXO,

Green and Gold Fall Harvest Tablescape

One of my favorite times of year to decorate and create tablescapes is Fall. There are so many beautiful colors to play with and pumpkins seem to come in all sorts of colors, sizes, and velvet! Who doesn’t love a velvet pumpkin?!! This Green and Gold Fall Harvest Tablescape if full of dark green velvety pumpkins, beautiful faux flowers and some of my treasured dishes.

I love adding other elements in the dining room to compliment the tablescape. You can never have enough velvet pumpkins so I added more brown colored velvet pumpkins below this beautiful wood sign from Teal Barn Signs (link for this sign is at the end of the post in the slider with photos of items). To add some color to the space below the sign, I put some of the leftover flowers from the garland centerpiece in a galvanized tin bucket and set it on an old antique crate.

The Place-Setting

For the place-setting I used my dark green dishes layered with my favorite antique limoges haviland gold and white plates. I like mixing the old with the new.

I used gold flower shaped placemats, gold flatware, a gold rimmed goblet and a dark green cloth napkin and gold napkin ring.

I added in accents of gold all throughout the table. Even the charger has gold antiquing on the edges.

The Garland Centerpiece

I like creating long garlands to fill up the middle of the table. My table is a large trestle table and I like the way it looks when there’s not a lot of open space on the table when I create this type of tablescape. I don’t typically put my food on the table as it’s easily stained so if you prefer to add the food to the table you can use matching serving pieces and make the centerpiece or garland smaller.

Another reason I like to do it this way is that it keeps the decor lower to the table so when you’re seated for dinner, you can see the people across from you. A centerpiece should draw your eyes to it but not block your view of the other guests.

I like to create a little more height in the center of the garland and then let it taper off to the end. For this tablescape, I put the largest green velvet pumpkin in the middle of the garland and then the smaller ones off-set throughout the rest of the garland.

I started with a base green garland and then going in opposite direction from the center on each side I layered in different faux green stems and white flowers.

Then I added a few more green velvet pumpkins, gold candlesticks with ivory taper candles and gold votive candles filled in the rest of the open spaces.

Final Details of the Green and Gold Fall Harvest Tablescape

I always say the beauty lies in the details and if you look closely at all the little details I think you’ll agree with me! Here you can see one of the little details where I mix the old with the new is the antique green salt and pepper shakers. These were a gift from my mom. She is a dish lover too, so adding these onto the table reminds me of her and all the fun times we’ve had hunting for dishes in antique stores.

Another little detail I added was these gold and white bread plates that said “harvest” and “gather” on them. I alternated them on each place-setting and it brings in the fall element to the table. They also paired perfectly with the gold and with antique plates.

The last detail was adding these white and green velvet pillows to the end chairs. They paired perfectly with the green velvet pumpkins and it’s the final piece to the entire tablescape that makes it perfect for a fall family gathering around the dinner table.

I hope you enjoyed seeing the details of this Green and Gold Fall Harvest Tablescape. Creating these tablescapes brings me such joy and I look forward to creating more memories with my loved ones around our dinner table.

Wishing you all a very happy Thanksgiving in the coming month and as I reflect on what I’m grateful for, I am grateful for all of you! The fact that I get to share what I love with you and hopefully inspire you to create your own beautiful gathering table makes my heart happy. Thank you so much for stopping by and allowing me to do this!

XOXO,

Blue and Orange Pumpkin Themed Tablescape

Every year I like to create a pumpkin tablescape and this years came out completely different than I had planned it in my head. Blue was not in my original plan but as I was mixing and matching different dishes to see how they looked together I threw a blue plate in the mix just to see how it looked. The result was this blue and orange pumpkin themed tablescape!

As soon as I saw the blue against the orange, I knew I was changing my original plan. I have a lot of blue decor in my Highland, Utah home and my fall decor colors had a lot of orange colors mixed in so this worked out perfectly and matched my fall decor.

Two Different Versions

When I was setting the table, I had it set without the blue bowls. I liked it but then I added the blue bowls onto the table and I instantly liked it more. Here you can see each version. Which is your favorite?

Here you can see more of the orange and less blue. Either way I love the bright colors and how this tablescape came together.

One way you can determine how many plates you want use and whether you add a bowl or not depends on what you’re serving for dinner.

The Place-Setting

For my blue and orange pumpkin themed tablescape, I first started with the place-setting. I chose a teal blue charger and then alternated the blue and orange plates.

I wanted this pumpkin tablescape to be fun and not formal so I chose to use these paper placemats that came in a tablet. You just tear them off one at a time and they are super cute and affordable!

I used a light blue cloth napkin with these autumn leaf napkin rings and my everyday silver flatware.

The Centerpiece Garland

To create the centerpiece I layered two faux olive branch leafy garlands on top of a long burlap table runner.

Then I layered in faux fall colored leaf stems, blue and brown berry picks and a few faux sage picks on top of the two garlands. Then I nestled in some velvet pumpkins placing the largest one in the center and the smaller pumpkins in and around the garland.

Finishing Touches

I’m always about the details and adding simple things like matching salt and pepper shakers is one way I add an extra touch. I’m always on the hunt for cute salt and pepper shakers. I guess it’s safe to say that I collect them too! These cute copper and silver salt and pepper shakers matched perfect.

Another finishing touch and detail I added was the pumpkin sign on the wall in the dining room. Just underneath the sign I placed an orange metal container filled with more of the same leafy branch stems I used in the garland and placed it on top of an old antique crate.

The pumpkin sign is from Teal Barn Signs. I’ll link the sign and all the other items I’m able to below.

I hope you enjoyed seeing all the details of this fun blue and orange pumpkin themed tablescape!

The blue dishes are from Target a few years ago and discontinued so I’ve linked some similar options. The orange dishes are from Anthropologie. This color is not available at the moment but will maybe come back again in the future. This is the link to this line of dishes: Old Havana Dinnerware
