Outdoor Entertaining

Simple Outdoor Fall Tablescape with fresh apples

Yes..Fall is in the air! I love this time of year don’t you? Crisp mornings and evenings and bright clear sunny days! After seeing so many of you post something about the fall season I decided to jump on the band wagon! 

Outdoor fall tablescape place settings

I love my Walmart leaf plates that I bought a few years back. These cute plates really set the tone for my simple outdoor fall tablescape with fresh apples. You might remember this other fun outdoor fall Tablescape where I also used my leaf plates. The color of the plates just pops against the white square plates. 

Layering the plates and adding a rolled white napkins with an apple and herbs is so easy! I really like to have contrast in my fall Tablescapes and I think this one really does that nicely. 

Old books folded into fun shapes

A unique centerpiece idea is using old books and folding the pages into unique shapes. Placing them randomly down the center of the table kind of reminds a little bit of a back to school theme. 

As I mentioned above I really like a strong contrast and when I placed the square white plates on the the brown placemat it made the white plate really stand out! BAM! 

Using Red Apples

The addition of these beautiful red apples and little sprigs of thyme sitting atop the folded white napkins immediately brings back memories of crisp fall apple picking days.

You could use your apples as a placard holder for your guests. Cut out a little paper leaf and write your guests name on it and tie it onto the stem of your apple.  

I filled two large glass hurricane jars with faux fall leaves and more old book pages folded into spirals mixed in with the leaves.

Here is the entire simple outdoor fall Tablescape with fresh apples complete with all the details.

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
