Fall has definitely arrived in Seattle and it has us all excited about the new flavors, colors, and textures that come with the season. In planning for some upcoming Autumn events, we’ve gathered a lot of inspiration and ideas for creative invitations, festive table decorations and tasty guest gifts. We thought that we would share a few of our favorites from our collection of pins.
1 | An invitation for an apple picking party makes us wish we were on the guest list! The scripted typeface references curly twigs that you might find on an apple tree and the way that the letters are intertwined gives us a feeling of friendship. The texture of the chalkboard-like invite and the painted envelope lets the guest know that this will be an exciting and interactive event.
2 | These painted branches are a gorgeous alternative to flowers in the fall. They can be placed in vases as tall, regal, centerpieces or they could make for an intriguing runner down the middle of a rectangular table. Another idea is to tie ribbon or twine on their bases and hang them from the ceiling to create your own kind of forest.
3 | We love this simple but beautiful way of using dried leaves as place holders. You could choose from the variety of beautiful colors that autumn trees have to offer, and then use a contrasting pen to write your guests names on them.
4 | These cheerful pumpkins could be wonderful lining the stairs or entryway to your party. Smaller pumpkins would also be great as centerpieces. We love how the tradition of carving three-dimensional shapes in pumpkins is expanded upon and made new with two dimensional paint and patterns.
5 | Elegant silverware is more inviting and less pretentious when the pieces are not placed perfectly side by side. The caramel color of the ribbon is rich and the soft texture is pleasant to untie. 6 | Caramel apples are always a treat but these miniature ones turn candy into a delicacy. They are adorable, easy to eat, and unique with the twigs! These would be perfect at a dessert table or given away as guest gifts!
7 | How delicious do these pumpkin cheesecake cupcakes look? The frosting is amazingly fluffy and with the marbled cake, you’re sure to find goodness in every bite! You can find the gluten-free recipe here.
