      Savvy Autumn Entertaining - Shanna Hatfield

      Autumn Entertaining

      When the air turns crisp, fallen leaves begin to crunch beneath my shoes, and mother nature paints the landscape with inspired hues of rich, golden color, I know autumn has arrived.

      Fall is my favorite season. It is the deep breath of contentment between the hurried, hot days of summer and the cold, gray skies of winter.

      I love to entertain in the fall when the food, décor, and atmosphere all reflect the bounty of harvest. Tangy tart apples, creamy pumpkin, and the last remnants of the garden demand to be made into something warm and comforting.

      Think about how you can incorporate autumn into your next entertaining venture. Bring the outdoors in with bouquets made of fall leaves and the last flowers of the season. Use pine cones and nuts for accents.

      Dress your table in nature-inspired colors of amber, gold, cranberry and green. Use all one color of china and serving pieces and create the feel of fall with your table coverings and centerpiece. Or mix and match pieces in fall colors such as brown, yellow, cream, green and red.

      Take the indoors outside when you entertain, soaking up the last warm rays of sunshine while the weather is still cooperative. Provide moveable heaters or build a bonfire. Set a very casual buffet table, again using the colors of fall, and have piles of blankets, extra sweaters and plenty of hot beverages available.

      Focus your food on the flavors of fall. Whip up a pumpkin soup or pumpkin bread. Apple anything – from apples with caramel dip to baked apples or apple crisp – is sure to be appreciated this time of year. Think of having some friends over for a comfort food potluck. Have them each bring their favorite comfort food and pool your efforts for a fun and unique meal.

      However you plan to entertain this fall, remember to keep it simple and keep your focus on connecting with those gathered in your home.

      Happy Autumn Entertaining!

      Fall Decorating Ideas

      If you are looking to bring the autumn season into your home, a great place to start is by going outdoors. What fall leaves, branches or natural items, like grasses, pinecones or nuts, can you bring indoors for an inexpensive accent to your decor?

      Use neutral tones highlighted with fall colors, focusing on the vivid jewel tones of autumn like rich red, warm gold, brilliant orange, deep green and pops of purple. This is not the time or the season to go all beige. Think bold, warm and rich when you are choosing accent colors.

      Create a fall welcome at your front door by placing pumpkins on steps, a twiggy wreath around an exterior light or baskets filled with bright fall flowers like mums.

      Use fall scents like pumpkin, cinnamon and apple throughout your home. Whatever scent you choose, make sure you stick with it consistently so you don’t have scents overpowering each other. No one wants to walk into a scent war-zone!

      Fill bowls or baskets with nuts or pinecones for a fast fall accent. Place large leaves between a serving tray and a piece of glass (or a clear glass pate). You can use this as a centerpiece, serve warm mugs of cider on it or leave it on the coffee table as a conversation piece.

      Keep your focus on warmth. Warm colors and cozy fabrics create a fantastic sense of welcome.

      When entertaining guests, serve food choices that bring fall to mind like pumpkin, apple, caramel and cinnamon.

      And, as always, remember to sit down and enjoy your guests. That’s what it is all about!

      Fall Scents
