Hey y’all…Have we mentioned to you how excited we are at the arrival of Fall? It’s our favorite season for many reasons – the main one being that this kicks off our season of entertaining family and friends.
We’ve teamed up with 31 blogging friends to bring you everything related to Fall decor – mantels, tablescapes, wreaths and crafts.
Today it’s all about tablescapes. Last year you may recall that Jenn and I created a Fall Tablescape that was a riot of traditional color. This year I was inspired to create a wine dinner party.
I love this vintage purple glassware that we used for Jenn’s wedding last Fall.
The main centerpiece is this treasured antique dough bowl. I wanted my party to be casual – not stuffy – so, I filled the bowl with wine corks and placed pillar candles inside.
Instead of flowers I bought artichokes because they were on sale and because they were the perfect color.
The greenery was clipped from my front yard shrubbery. Here’s where I really had some fun. I created this Wine List board and a printable so our guests can make a selection…
I will share more of this project with you on Thursday!
I crafted individual place cards from miniature clay pots and succulents.
The smaller wooden teak bowls were a wedding gift from decades ago…
When I’m setting the table I always try to use what I already have on hand. The white dinner plates were purchased a couple of years ago from the Dollar tree. The driftwood chargers were also a previous purchase.
New purchases were the luncheon plates – on clearance at Target. I really loved how they look like hammered metal…and at $2 a piece I couldn’t pass them up! The grainsack napkins and runner were purchased on clearance from World Market.
This 1920’s bottle is my personal favorite…
…and this ink bottle is a close second 🙂
Remember last week I shared with you how we have so many wine corks?
Hope you liked our Fall Tablescape Wine Dinner party. Don’t forget to visit our friends and their fabulous decor!

Absolutely lovely! Elegant and rustic at the same time. The lavender and shades of green are very soothing and restful and such a great alternative to traditional fall colors. Always inspiring, Vicki!
