Moody Hues for a Festive Fall

I’m still working on a fall dinner party even though my last minute China trip kind of messed with my original harvest dinner plans.  I saw this dinner at Vetted Table on 100 layer cake and it is just chalk-full of beautiful fall colors and ideas.

I just LOVE the darker jewel tones against all of the beautiful dark wood, punctuated by hints of brass, glass and greenery.  This is just the inspiration I needed to get back in the game for a (later) fall dinner party for my closest friends.

I’ve got a whole new scheme in mind for my party and plan to make it much more of a luxe feeling, slow, warm dinner – rather than my original plan for a sort of outdoor harvesty event.

Could you see doing these colors in your home for a dinner event? What is your favorite part?

    I definitely like the idea of a luxe dinner rather than an outdoorsy one. My favorite is that dark blue napkin. I hope you can incorporate some gorgeously rich color like that!

    I have that little gold vase that’s in the first and second picture, so that’s my favorite! haha

    I am streamlining and just ordered homespun linen napkins for thanksgiving. I love adding a bit of what I call farm house glam….linen, wood and then a bit of gold. I plan to tie gold ribbons around the votives and napkins…
