Dinning in the backyard is my all time favorite..especially in the early fall when it is the perfect temperature outside.
I started with a sisal rug on the table followed by brown silky lining fabric on the edges that flows to the ground. I like the contrast in textures. For the centerpiece I brought out one of my white lanterns from Ikea and filled it with fall leaves and an orange candle. I also put a large grapevine wreath around the lantern to add a harvest look to the table.
On either side of the lantern I placed to small sized pots with a tall faux plant in each..to add some greenery. The little pots are cement colored with dark colored rings on the front.
I love the amber colored goblets…I bought the bubble glass goblets at JC Pennys. They add the perfect color of autumn to the table and some sparkle.
For the napkins I have used three different kinds. I didn’t have enough of the red, green, gold plaid so I took 1 red and 1 gold napkin and put them together and placed one of my white napkin rings (.75 each if you buy a set of 12) around both for a fun new look..just using what I have…. and laid them across my leaf plates from Walmart!
Here are the plaid napkins with my white napkin rings.
Here you can see our pergula with white lights hanging from it as the dusk turns to night.
At night everything just glows.
Use what you have to create a centerpiece…gather things from around the house. Try using out of the ordinary things like rugs for a tablecloth and using all different kinds of textures to make your table really come alive.

I really like the shot of white with the fall colors. Really provides a pop to the whole tablescape. It's expecially perfect with the blues from your pool in the background. Thank you for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay
Its gorgeous. i just like your candlelaps.
Your tablesetting looks so inviting -I love that you still ahd the setting outdoors and took pictures of the candle warmth at night
I love the idea of the wreath on the table around the candle/lantern. It looks very pretty. Here in New England it is a bit late in the season for dining outdoors.
I love it, and being able to set it outside is so dreamy. This is lovely.
What a pretty table for fall. I've seen your napkin rings at Tablescape Thursday. They are wonderful!
It all looks so gorgeous for fall!

I am so tickled to find this meme...I have wondered and wondered why no one had started one like this. I LOVE to see pretty centerpieces.
I will be linking up with you in the future.
Love your beautiful table...:)
