Whether you're hosting an intimate anniversary celebration or a small Thanksgiving dinner, this table holds a soft rustic vibe for any occasion. We've added in magnolia leaves, fresh florals, candlelight and wood slice chargers to give layers of texture. And to really top off the night, we served a dessert of Toasted Coconut Truffles.

Nothing feels more like fall to me than the warm tone of rose gold. Mix that with wood, burlap and florals and you've got all the ingredients for a gorgeous table. I love mixing textures and combining dressy and casual elements together. This table combines all those elements perfectly! We set this old antique table at the edge of a little vineyard with just the right amount of sun to make our evening simply perfect.
I started with a Burlap Table Runner down the center of the table. I wanted the tabletop to be part of my color story, but you could use a pretty table cloth if you wanted a little bit more of a formal feel. I love to find different ways to use some of my seasonal pieces, so using these Fall Magnolia Wreaths as part of the centerpiece is an unexpected touch. You could use just one Fall Magnolia Wreath and Rose Gold Candle Holder to create a table centerpiece, but I liked the look of two. With their open, delicate design these pretty Rose Gold Candle Holders look perfect nestled in the center of the wreaths.
Fresh florals with clippings of grapevine, and even some of the grape clusters, were used in the floral centerpiece. Another way to add in a natural element is with the wood slice chargers. Wood has a way of warming up any design and creating that cozy element, and these pretty rose gold trimmed plates really pop against them. You could also use patterned plates or even your fancy china atop these chargers.
I am always looking for unique ways to display my flatware. Try different ideas like wrapping silverware with a napkin and tying with a piece of twine, or create a "sleeve" out of scrapbook paper and place them inside. Here, I used a piece of pretty velvet ribbon to add another layer of texture. Sparkling goblets are a fun way to bring a little formal touch to this outdoor table setting. Faux fur throws placed on chairs do double duty by dressing up your seating, but are perfect if the evening air gets chilly.
Dinner is never complete without dessert, so treat your guests to these delicious Toasted Coconut Cookie Truffles. Serve them in a pretty Mercury bowl with rose gold pedestal and then hand out Kraft Paper Scalloped Favor Boxes to take a few home.
Summer may have come and gone, but we don't have to give up those alfresco dinners just yet. Autumn brings some some beautiful sunsets and warm golden nights. This fall do something a little different and take your outdoor dining to another level by incorporating some of these tips to create a memorable evening for you and your guests.
