Fall Table Decor: Using Velvet Pumpkins in an Elegant Fall Tablescape

  • Facebook
  • Twitter

In this post: If you’re looking for romantic fall table decor ideas, create a beautiful and elegant fall tablescape with velvet pumpkins.⇒

Using Velvet Pumpkins in an Elegant Fall Tablescape | Designthusiasm.com

If there’s one thing I most like to share with my readers it’s how to approach decorating in an unconventional way.

This is all the more so when doing a tablescape, since it’s only set for one occasion.

Often I like to use elements on my tables that go beyond dishes and stemware and today I’d like to look at using velvet pumpkins in an elegant fall tablescape.

Using Velvet Pumpkins in an Elegant Fall Tablescape | Designthusiasm.com

I’d like to thank my amazing sponsor Plush Pumpkin for providing the gorgeous velvet pumpkins seen in this post and around my home.

Using Velvet Pumpkins in an Elegant Fall Tablescape | Designthusiasm.com

Before we get to the centerpiece of this table which is what drove the overall concept, let’s begin with a look at the plate stack which pulls from the colors I knew I ‘d be working with.

I generally start with some kind of metal charger and this time I went with silver.

A clean white dinner plate comes next and is topped with these wonderful market vegetable salad plates that come in an assorted set of 4.

(See the resource list at the bottom of the post.)

The underpinning for the table is a lovely blush pink ruffled throw I’ve been really crushing on lately. You can expect to see it a few more times this season and probably on into the next.

For stemware I went with my favorite glen plaid crystal goblets. I use these over and over as they work with so many different looks. I also have the champagne flutes, as well as high balls, and double old fashioned glasses in the same pattern.

My napkins are embroidered white linen that I bought years ago with a matching tablecloth. I used my most glimmery crystal bracelet napkin rings to maintain the look of holiday elegance.

But the true stars of this table are the stunning rich toned velvet pumpkins from Plush Pumpkin. I chose pinks, berries and greens and I find their sheen and soft plumpness to be truly very beautiful.

I tucked roses and dried hydrangea into the presentation because I feel tables look best with fresh flowers, even when there are other elements that are highlighted for seasonal or decorative flavor.

The footed silver bowl is a new addition to my collection and one that works beautifully on the table. I love the way the pale blush pink and pure clean white offset the rich dark berry tones.

The shimmer of silver and crystal also helps to accentuate the contrast with the deep and lush pumpkins.

I’ve done several tablescapes this fall and it’s hard to choose which one to use for my actual Thanksgiving dinner. You can see several linked below if you need more ideas.

I’ve got one more to share with you next week and then perhaps I’ll put it to you readers to vote for the final winner!

    So very elegant and romantic…I so love the beautiful colors of the Plush Pumpkins…and crushing on that gorgeous silver urn. It certainly would be hard to choose a favorite Fall tablescape as they are all so very beautiful!

    The acorns are adorable. I love the soft colors for Fall. Somehow I always go with maroons, bold oranges, golds and earth browns. I did visit French garden house. Thanks for the introduction. So much to see! I spent tons of time on the site. I think my favorite item has to be the antique French glass pale pink rosary. Amazingly beautiful!

    What a gorgeous table setting, Lory! I love the pumpkins, the first original pumpkins made by Monya and still the BEST. {many copies out there, but these? Hand made with love and care, of superior quality!!}

    It’s so exciting to see a fall and Thanksgiving table set with unconventional colors, so feminine and romantic. You have such a talent for combining colors, patterns and textures to create beauty! xo Lidy

    Yours is one of the most elegant table settings I’ve ever seen! Those velvet pumpkins alongside the beautiful silver bowl holding those gorgeous roses is stunning! I love the soft, feminine colors of the whole table. The vegetable-themed salad plates coordinate with the purples on the table and just pop against the white background. You have done a fabulous job!

    Lory, this is a beautiful blog hop, but I must say, your table is stunning! Your elements – the chargers (be still, my heart!), the RL glen plaid (that masculine yang to all the feminine yin!), the plush pumpkins (such luscious colors together!). I could go on and on, but I hope you get how much I love this table. Hands down, this should be the one for Thanksgiving. Just exchange Plush Pumpkins heart-shaped pumpkins in the same colors and you could call it your Valentine table! Lidy’s shop – I love so many things there – but I would choose at least one of her unique, figural or standup napkin rings to add to my collection. Happy November!

    I look at the site for the ruffle pink throw, it doesn’t show the pink. Do you know if they still have it in the pink and if not, do you know where I can get one like it. Plus the silver bowl, I looked at that site, they show one in a gold color is it the same one that you have? Can you give me the Item numbers for both of these Items? Thanks Geraldine Turner
