Amazing Late Summer Into Fall Tablescape Inspiration

The Late Summer To Fall Table Centerpiece

The first step is to plan for the centerpiece. Since the repurposed funnel light fixture has small vases that hang over the table, this becomes the focal point of the whole area. Therefore, I filled the vases with water and added fresh-cut herbs and black-eyed susans.

The varying heights of the vases add a whimsical charm to the industrial light fixture, plus allow more dining room on the small porch table.

To avoid competing with the hanging flowers, I opted to use a collection of thrift store candlesticks corralled together as the table centerpiece. In addition, a grapevine wreath and a few fresh blooms surround the gathering.

To create this centerpiece, use a variety of candlesticks with varying heights and styles. As evening approaches, the candlelight and fresh flowers create a warm and inviting scene.

Tablescape Place Settings for Late Summer into Fall

In order to achieve a late summer, early fall feel, I decided to leave the table bare with no tablecloth. However, to add warmth and texture, I opted for a simple jute table runner. In addition, the woven jute plate chargers are another summer favorite and add to the natural theme of the table.

You can use a variety of dishes to create a late summer feel. However, in order to keep the table simple, I used all white dishes. These are vintage white ironstone plates and bowls atop a larger white plate. To add character and uniqueness to the table setting, I used a mix of old and new items.

In addition to the vintage brass candlesticks, I used some thrift store brass napkin rings to add just a hint more glamour and shine to the rustic tablescape. As you can see, I tucked a few stems into the folds of the brown napkins for an added touch of color.

Additional Decor For Late Summer Tablescape

In order to continue the late summer feel, the ironstone pitcher is filled with sunflowers and dried leaves. You can also add fresh vegetables from your garden to add color and a late summer harvest feel. Here I tucked a few among the extra dishes on the side hutch.

Another way to add interest to the late summer tablescape, is to add unexpected pieces to the space. Notice the vintage Italian print which was added to the rustic old windows.
