It's fall -- my favorite season and fall tables, I think are so lovely. The colors of fall seem to go well with the colors of Linderhof. A dark green tablecloth seems a perfect backdrop for the oranges and golds of the pumpkins and gourds.
Each place is a blue and white Spode plate, a small leave plate (to be used as a bread and butter plate) that I got ages ago at Wal Mart. Gold napkins blend well with the greens, golds and oranges of fall.
The big blue and white bowl is always on the dining room table this fall -- filled with pumpkins and gourds and bittersweet. It's low enough that it is a perfect dinner party centerpiece. Some more bittersweet twined around and some mercury glass votives placed here and there and my sterling candlesticks on either end for more candlelight.
Silver wine bottle holders placed around the table so that refilling glasses is not a chore. Placecards are silk leaves -- with the names written on them with Magic Marker. Thankfully, all the guests had short names!
I always love that time -- just before the party starts when everything is ready and the guests have yet to arrive. The table always looks so pretty and so expectant.

It will be fun to see everyone's take on how to decorate and set a table for fall!

Very pretty.
Your table looks beautiful! I love the centerpiece.
What a beautiful table and lovely room to welcome your guest to. I really like the deep rich colors of fall and you've combined them well. Enjoy...
Ooohhh, am I invited? I love that beautiful table! I'm so glad that I came to visit today!
Another lovely table, Martha. You have such a knack for this.
Oh my, what a beautiful table setting! You've inspired me, now I've got to go see what I have to make up a nice setting! Fall is my favorite time to decorate, even more so then Christmas.
Thaks for stopping by and come on by again soon! Now I want to check out other Tablescape Thursday!!!
Whoops! I meant to type THANKS!
Lovely fall setting. Just beautiful.
Your table is beautiful, and I love the bowl as a centerpiece. I remember when we used to drive out in the country and my mom would find fresh bittersweet along a fence. It has been years since I've seen any...it would be such a treat!

Beautiful table! Love all the details!
Gorgeous! Love your centerpiece. Everything works so well together.
Martha,
Your blue and white bowl is a showstopper and a perfect centerpiece! I love the way you arranged the items in it. Nicely done!
