Autumn Dinner Party Tablescape

Today I am participating in Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps On The Porch. This is an Autumn Dinner Party my friend had on her porch a few years ago. She made these beautiful tall floral centerpieces that included twinkle lights. Fall leaves and glass tealight candles ran down the center of the table.



She used a mix of Autumn colored napkins tied with a little fall garland.

A small photo tied around the wine glasses served as the place card. I love these wine glasses...they flip over and you can use either side.

The handmade invitation.

Handmade menu.

Here are a few menu suggestions to get you started on your
Autumn Dinner Party!

    Oh what a lovely table and party! Everything really looks great including the food!!
    I'm looking forward to flying to Seattle on Saturday so that I can get my home there ready for Thanksgiving and have some fun with table settings. I don't have anything this week as I'm busy getting ready to be gone from my sweet little condo in Southern California for a full 6 weeks!!
    Blessings...

    Hi,
    What a great Fall table. I love those lighted centerpieces, what a great idea. I also love how all of the elements (invitation, menu etc) went together so beautifully. I would have loved to attend this lovely dinner.

    I love the idea of twinkle lights in the floral arrangements. I think I'll have to make note of that idea. Everything looks fun and fabulous!
