Black, White & Taupe Fall Table

Brighton Butler Fall Tablescape with black and white plates and feather placemat, fall table inspiration

I’m getting really into all things tables lately. And truthfully, I’ve never really put together a table before this one. My mom has always been really into china and has a massive collection, so I’m surprised it’s just peaking my interest. But whatever the case, I’m excited about it and am marking 2021 as the year I start my “table” collection.

Did you catch the blog post last month where I rounded up some inspiration for fall table styling? Since then I have been playing with my own table (this took way longer than I care to admit) and came up with two concepts I’m excited to share  – it made sense to split it up into two posts.

When looking through inspo, I saw a lot of orange and traditional fall colors, which I loved but after seeing these feather placemats, I decided to do an entire setting centered around them. I would have never guessed that I would be into the feathers but I am obsessed. I already owned the black and white plates and they brought out the different tones of taupe beautifully.

The hardest part of pulling this table together was the centerpiece. I knew I wanted to use these pumpkins because what fall table doesn’t have pumpkins? I knew I wanted to do something dried and an arrangement that incorporated the same taupe color story as the placemats, but I couldn’t figure out how to tie it all together. I actually ordered several different options and none of them worked. Last minute, I ended up going to a local florist (Dr. Delphinium) and picked up a few of their dried flowers, which ended up working out beautifully!

The taupe candles were also a last minute addition that *really* pulled everything together. I started out with white candles and the table looked fine, but I wanted to try a color that better tied in the placemats. I ended up finding these taupe candles and BAM everything finally started coming together the way I wanted. The final touches included some gold accents like the silverware and the candleholders (because y’all know I can’t resist a touch of gold).
