Fall tables get their personality from the mix of pumpkins, patterned runners, layered plates, and seasonal textures around them. Dried wheat, greenery, flowers, candles, metallic accents, and colorful glassware shape settings that range from rustic and plaid-covered to clean, colorful, and softly elegant.

White Orange Dried Wheat Pumpkins

Copper napkin rings hold dark gray napkins at the table setting, while a subtle plaid tablecloth covers the table. Along the center, smooth white pumpkins alternate with classic orange pumpkins, with bundles of dried wheat placed between the white pumpkins. The wheat adds height and texture without overwhelming the space.
