Fall is a season of cozy celebration, of harvest dinners, Halloween parties and Thanksgiving feasts, so plan to make your table as welcoming as you are. Set it with table linens in warm earth tones of sage, wine or bronze. Add centrepieces of autumn leaves, beeswax candles, orange or purple chrysanthemums and piles of tiny, colourful gourds.
Set out golden-hued cutlery and serving utensils, as well as cranberry-coloured or gold-rimmed glassware. And then add a whimsical note with themed seasonal dishware. Spode and Portmerion harvest patterns are classic, but we’re especially charmed by Williams Sonoma’s Thanksgiving tableware, which includes a porcelain platter that’s not only painted with a turkey, it’s big enough to hold one. And who can resist these adorable stoneware gourd salt and pepper shakers from Pottery Barn?
