Fall Buffet Table Decorations for Entertaining

fall decorating, table setting

Fall through the Christmas season is the time when our family gets together more frequently for shared meals. Summers are filled with kids’ sporting events and camp activities and once that dies down it’s time to wine, dine, and relax. Rather than set a formal table for our next gathering, I chose to organize fall buffet table decorations for a more casual gathering. (This post contains affiliate links.)

Today I’m joining a group of bloggers to bring you 16 fall tables settings. A special thanks to Alicia at A Burst of Beautiful for organizing this event!

Fall Buffet Table Decorations with Fresh Fruit and Wine

 

My inspiration for today’s fall buffet table decorations starts with a floral table throw. It creates a casual table cloth of sorts to protect the table from plates, silverware, and glasses.

A big wooden bowl of fruit in deep purples, plums, and reds create a focal point for the buffet setting. I always try to serve a fair amount of fruit and vegetables when feeding a group of people. Too many potatoes and rolls make everyone sleepy.

Red and white wine is a must at all family gatherings. Apothic wines are some of my favorites and I always keep a couple of bottles on hand.

The deep red wine looks pretty in Waterford crystal stemware (my mother was a huge fan of Waterford crystal).

Candles are always a great choice for creating ambiance when entertaining.

Everyone can grab a plate and fill it up in the kitchen. Since it’s still warm out, we can sit outside and enjoy the new pond.

Keeping things casual removes a bit of stress and lets everyone kick back and enjoy a lively family gathering.

  10. I love that you shared a simple but elegant buffet. I feel like it can be a struggle to get a buffet table looking pretty and stylish but yours looks so beautiful. LOVE the candles and how you used the basket as a back drop. That one looks lovely in those glasses, too.
