Y’all, I love hosting. It is like one of my favorite things. Having people in my home either for easy burgers and fries, Sunday brunch with close friends, or hosting all 45 family members for the big Thanksgiving dinner. All of it is my favorite. Reed and I want to be known for having a home where everyone is welcome and our table is always full. So when I was brainstorming what I wanted to create for y’all this fall I realized, why not make items that will help give y’all the confidence to bring people around YOUR table!
With that, the 2019 Fall Collection had a purpose and I had a vision and found some of the coolest products to offer you guys! This collection is so easy to use as single pieces or as an entire set, you literally can not go wrong with them. So, to show you a little of how you can use these pieces and mix them in with things you already have I did a little styling for you! I never would have thought that paper products could elevate a table and to the level that these have!
You can make something similar to this by using what you have at home and mixing it with my 2019 Fall Collection! Here is a quick list of what items LJ and I pulled from around the house:
Piece of scrap denim - I simply folded this large piece of denim I usually use for a table cloth and used it as a runner to add a base texture against the wood of the table.
Faux Flowers - I usually am not a fan. But you can get them for SO cheap and if you take a little time to spruce them up (bend those suckers!) then they can add a huge bang for very little cash!
Wood acorns- I know not everyone is gonna have a random box of wood acorns. But keep your eye out, groups of small seasonal things can make a big impact!
FOOD- Yep. Food. It’s already coming to the party, and it is honestly what people care most about on your table. So why not use it as part of the centerpiece!
Once I had the base down and multiple textures already on the table it was easy to add that Thanksgiving pop with my 2019 fall collection! This collection is easy to mix and match. The two lines within the collection are the Fall Feathers and Perfect Pumpkin. The two can easily be used together or separately, in this example I used them both to continue to bring a mix of colors to the table.
Out of the 2019 Fall Collection, I used both designs of placemats, place cards and a 5x7 turkey print. If you are able to set your table before guests arrive having their names at their seat takes the entire experience up a notch. Not only do you have the chance to help curate some great table conversation but you are also showing you thought about each of them with every step you took in planning this dinner. Because I chose to use the place cards for names I wanted to add more variety to the table than just reusing the card as a food label. So in comes my 5x7 print! This print I wrote directly on but if you order a print and don’t want it to permanently have writing on it, put it in a frame and use a dry erase marker to write out your menu item on the glass! Having labels is such a fun way to add a little oomph to your table, not to mention it lets everyone know what exactly they are putting on their plates :)
I am just in love with this collection. I wish my dining room was set up in a way I could leave this out all season, but LJ is currently in the stage of pulling everything down that she can reach. It was a race to to get these photos before she pulled everything down! I can’t wait to see how you guys style the 2019 Fall Collection and don’t forget to order them soon so they arrive in time for your big Thanksgiving dinner!
