perfect fall & winter tables settings

Beautiful table linens make the most perfect table settings. Fun, vibrant patterns set the tone for your table, and then you can add a simplistic style of plates, glasses and utensils.

So I’m thrilled to introduce you to the two newest patterns by Pacific & Rose, Pomegranate and Laura’s Garden. In the photo above, you can see the beautiful way they coordinate with each other.

These colors and patterns are so pretty all year long, but I especially love the way they work for fall and winter gatherings. I’m talking the big holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas and Hanukah.

Fancy-looking napkin folding can be fun and easy. If you’d like a tip on how to do this fan fold with a twist napkin look, check out this post.

The details of each of these hand blocked patterns is exquisite. I especially love the pretty birds perched among the floral vines in the Laura’s Garden pattern. Aren’t they sweet?

Not only are there tablecloths available in these patterns, but for a more relaxed look, try the table runner with matching placemats. Then for the final touch, choose either a matching or coordinating napkin.

The Ivy Green napkin also works great with these new patterns. This is a great example of how fun it is to mix and match Pacific & Rose’s patterns with each other.

I just love how the pretty pattern and borders of the runners drape off the edge of the table. The uniqueness of these hand blocked patterns with their subtle variations gives each of these pieces a truly rare look that sooths the eye.

Every single piece of this collection is hand-blocked in India where they’ve perfected this technique for centuries.

Check out the juxtaposition of real pomegranates to the lovely pattern shown here in the tea towels.

I just happened upon these little pomegranates in my next-door neighbor’s yard when we were picking lemons from her tree. She was kind enough to let me have a few for this photo shoot.

How cute are these aprons, scarves and cosmetic bags? They make the most perfect gifts for a friend or for yourself!

The moral of this story is setting a beautiful fall or winter table doesn’t have to daunting. By starting out with a gorgeous palette of table linens, most of the work will be done for you! Just add flowers and your basic tableware and you’re all set.
