Carpeted in a tapestry of fallen foliage and framed by supple branches, a farmhouse path beckons guests to join in this pastoral scene. A collection of rustic chairs gathers around a table layered with fringed throws that signal cooler days to come. At each place setting, miniature birds’ nests embrace clusters of vibrant burgundy mums—a nice, cheery welcome to the gathering.
Woodland-themed plates, warm-toned metals, and etched tumblers in smoky blue combine for a mellow, nuanced palette. An assortment of antique silver suits the unfussy setting, and a tousled bouquet of rose hips and oak leaves catches the soft sunlight. Pumpkins and gourds scattered about enhance the autumnal mood. A stack of plaid blankets is on hand to keep guests snug as balmy afternoon fades into brisk evening.
