Fall Celebration Ideas

Autumn is all about feeling cozy. The leaves are falling outside, the fires are crackling inside, turkeys are roasting in the oven and hot chocolate beckons at every hour. This homey feeling is reflected with these parties - laden with burnt orange and jewel tones - everyone will want to gather around and celebrate, family and friends - hour after hour.

The key to pulling off a coordinated event: Evoke your theme throughout the affair. Whether that theme is as general as a season or a feeling, or as specific as a special flower, it should be the subtle thread that ties everything together. Your location, invitations, flowers, menu, cake, and favors should all cleverly reflect one common concept. Then, get as creative as you can!

Table Top Tips:

A good place to start is with the table. Because Thanksgiving is a fall festival, start by putting down a yellow, orange or red tablecloth symbolic of the season, then build from there.

Decorate your Thanksgiving table with beautiful fall tableware. The "accessories" on a dining table can enhance the eating experience, an artistically dressed table is always nice to behold.

Use seasonal place settings, centerpieces, serving dishes and serve ware. Try leaf shaped place mats. A Harvest china pattern graced with brilliant shades of pomegranate, pumpkin, eggplant and lime.

Once the table is set, you can move onto ambiance. Put seasonal candles on the table, and throw a log in the fireplace, if you have one.

For a simple and inexpensive table decoration, Break the stem off each gourd or pumpkin and carve out a hole in the top to hold a taper candle. For a more elegant look use candlesticks that you have, press a gourd on the candlestick spike and then insert the candle. (Country Living Oct. 2003)

For a simple and inexpensive place card idea use small gourds or pumpkins and write the persons name or initials on the gourd with a pencil then trace over it with a permanent marker.

Pumpkins, Autumn Cornstalks, Fruits & Veggie Abound!

Fall Flower Arrangements & Centerpieces Good Enough to Eat

Adding fruits and vegetables to clear glass containers brings another colorful--and inexpensive--dimension to flower arrangements. Put together a fall arrangement by filling a tall glass cylinder with fruits & vegetables. Fill with water, then add colorful fall flowers like Mums. Change the water daily. If you want to eat the veggies in the vase, you must do it that day. Otherwise, they won't be any good. When using citrus fruits in arrangements, be sure the pretty center of the fruit is visible by pressing the cut side against the glass. Baby artichokes, cranberries, limes, kiwis, berries, sugar-snap peas, whole peas, potatoes and nearly every other type of vegetable looks beautiful in the vase water.

Frosted Fruit: Dip red apples, pears, lemons, oranges and assorted grapes into egg whites beaten until frothy; then dip into graduated sugar. Let sit on rack, over waxed paper, until dry. Arrange in compote, with laurel or lemon leaves.

Grapes, Wheat: Lay sheaves of wheat down center of table; top with grapes & nuts.

Oranges, Lemons and Limes: Fill bowl with crushed chicken wire, then with green leaves. Cut wooden dowels 12" to 15" long; insert among leaves; put oranges, lemons and limes on end of each stick.

Autumn Cornstalks are a perfect accent for your Autumn and Thanksgiving gatherings

Add a traditional harvest look to your home with Pumpkins & Gourds. Leaves can add color to your fall decor.

Use Pumpkin Pie Scented Votive Candles. Place one at each place setting for a special guest favor.
