A Soft Pastel Fall Table Setting

| | |

It all started because I fell in love with some pretty pink champagne glasses. I wasn’t shopping for them, in fact, I was shopping for fall napkins, but there they were in all of their soft pink prettiness. It got me thinking about fall decorating and how it doesn’t always have to be in the traditional autumn colors. So I decided to buy those gorgeous champagne glasses and create a fall table using a soft pastel palette…and guess what!? I love it!

I started with my favorite light gray table runner, which is, in fact, a long length of cloth with the edges turned under. (shhh…don’t tell!) Since I was committed to pink, I decided to use soft pastels for a garland of fresh flowers. I got some soft pink roses at the market along with a couple of bunches of eucalyptus.Pastel Fall Tablescape -Pink-Green-White-11.jpgI created a runner of eucalyptus as my base and then tucked the roses in along the length of the table. NOTE: I used water tubes for my roses to keep them fresh. They easily tuck under the eucalyptus so you can’t see them. I also tucked a few heads of kale along the garland along with some sprigs of protea (at least that’s what I was told the delicate pick flowers are called).Pastel Fall Tablescape -Pink-Green-WhiteIf it was a little bit later in the season, I would have used my favorite, fresh mini white pumpkins, but they have not appeared in my market yet, so I got out my trusty faux white pumpkins along with a couple of soft green ones and they worked perfectly!
