EFFORTLESS FALL TABLESCAPE

September 12, 2016 By Jessica Leave a Comment

Happy Monday, y’all! There’s not much that excites me more than fall! When fall starts I know the holidays are approaching and I cannot wait to decorate and celebrate! There are times when I can’t decorate exactly the way I’d like because I have small children, but I’ve come up with some ways to create kid-friendly yet elegant tablescapes.  It is definitely possible to have a gorgeous, effortless fall tablescape.

Here are my tips and tricks for an effortless tablescape:

FIRST : Don’t use an expensive tablecloth. I love a fancy table but it’s not always doable with little ones so I opted for a throw as my tablecloth/runner. YES, it’s a regular throw blanket. I love the fall color and can throw it in the wash without any worries after our meals.

SECOND : Mix and match. You’ll notice here that my pumpkins are many different colors and textures. I find that takes the pressure off because I’m no longer making sure everything matches perfectly. Some of these pumpkins I’ve had for years and just add to them as I find new ones that I like.

THIRD : Incorporate fresh flowers. Fresh flowers always make a table feel special. I grabbed this arrangement from Trader Joe’s at a great price. No fuss was the name of the game for this tablescape.

FOURTH : Use disposable plates, cups, and napkins for the kids. This place setting is specifically for my kiddos. Nothing is breakable and it still fits with the theme and color palate of the rest of the table. My kids think these paper plates and napkins are quite “fancy.” I can tell they feel “big” sitting with us and using their special plates.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on how to eat holiday meals with kiddos. Do they sit at your table or a “kid” table? If they sit with you how do you make it pretty and kid friendly?

Have a wonderful day, and I hope it’s beginning to feel like fall where you live! I’d love to have you stop by Thoughtfully Styled to see what I’m up to over there as well! Thanks, y’all!

Instagram post 17864637601827512 This is what happens on day number 3,568,743 of quarantine: ice cream sundaes for DINNER. We have been spending endless time together and decided it was time to start a new family tradition, so we picked up the new DIY Sundae Kit from @baskinrobbins! The kit comes with 2 pre-packed quarts of ice cream, 3 toppings, an entire can of whipped cream and cherries! Ice
cream for dinner will now be a weekly staple. The kids are definitely not complaining! It’s a fun day with a Sundae! 
Comment below and tell me your favorite Baskin Robbins flavor!

Instagram post 17850899390014309 Disney is challenging us to share our first pictures with characters! I had to join in the fun and it was the best trip down memory lane. Disney has been threaded throughout my entire life. I pulled a few of my most favorite memories over the years. From partying in the streets during the most epic dance party and meeting our most favorite princesses to me being a kid at Disney myself. Oh, I also had to add a picture of Cinderella’s Castle. She really is the most beautiful cast member of them all! 
@waltdisneyworld we miss you more and more each day. You’ve brought us joy beyond words and we cannot wait for the day when we get to walk down Main Street USA again! 
Ok, now it’s your turn. Find your old photos of your favorite Disney characters and share the magic. Also, don’t forget to tag me. I want to see all your memories too! 
@pixiemousemichelle @ericaligenza and @prettyprovidenceblog it’s time to share yours!#disneymagicmoments #myfirstdisneycharacter #disneycreators #disneyfamily #disneykuds #disneyworld
