Autumn table decorations

Hello lovely people!! How are you? I am sure you all must be enjoying autumn..autumn colors..falling leaves..collecting pine cones..shorter and cooler days..hmmm.. I live in the tropics and really miss this season..Though I must say it does get a few degrees cooler here as well!! 

I was browsing through some of favorite German magazines and came across these lovely autumn decoration ideas.. They are so easy, practical and so pretty as well!!! 

Take a look and be inspired!!!

                              The cool, crisp autumn weather is perfect for apple picking..Use red apples as mini vase!!!! Remove the core of the apple ..Fill it with little water and put some fresh flowers from your garden or the ones you picked from your walk in it.. 

Make yourselves warm and cozy with candles..Decorate the tea light holders with cut out patterns of autumn leaves attached to them.. This could also be a great project for kids..You can get the Instructions and templates in this PDF ..They are in German but very easy to understand:)

  

Easy and quick decor idea for this fall... Heather twigs!!! Dry them and using a simple rubber band tie them around a glass carafe.. These will look good around a tea light holder as well!!! You can keep a bunch of  red, violet or pink heather twigs in a cane basket and that will also look good!!!!

 Bring the autumn to your dining table .... How about a napkin decoration with a cookie in leaf shape.. It would be a nice surprise for the guest. Shape the crispy biscuit dough with a cookie cutter in leaf shape.. Make a hole in it before baking it and later just pull a  pretty ribbon through the hole... wrap together around a napkin. 

Why just stop at table decorations... Create a Wreath of nuts...Made from hazelnuts, almonds or pine cones . . 

First, collect nuts and cones.. make a hole in the nuts  with a wood drill pierce and string them on a sturdy floral wire. Then form a uniform ring...connect the wire ends and cover up with raffia. Tip: It looks best if arrange several rings together!!

                          Lovely DIY lanterns for outdoors are very easy to make.. I had done                          something similar sometime back.. Check the tutorial here..Decorate them with ribbons and fabric flowers..Fill it with water and floating candles..

    Last but not the least .. I totally loved this table arrangement... You will need baking cups, candles, candle holders and flowers like Phlox... Fill the baking cups with water and place the candle into the holder...Then float some individual phlox flowers.

This baby shower is themed Elephants and alphabets baby shower... This party is more for the mommy than the baby.. that's why it is contemporary styled..That's why the color theme is also very stylish- Tangerine and Pewter...What I liked are the mason jars with bakers twigs ...so adorable and also a easy quick idea for any party..

This is one of the party I simply adore and I think any tea lover would absolutely love.. The theme is Modern pink tea party..These star shaped paper lanterns from Luna Bazaar are so gorgeous..they create an ambiance of cheer and elegance instantly...That's not all ..This party is so creative and full of inspiration.. Look at the milk bottles filled with pink lemonade..The flowers, the candies and lollipops , cupcakes, accessories... everything is matched to the color theme of pink and white perfectly..

What is a baby shower without any fun, games etc...This one is more about the activities to do at a baby shower...It is absolutely fantastic especially if you have a bunch of creative friends..The activity is to decorate onesies/ infant body suit..They had can used fabric scarps and every friend cut it into desired shapes and stick it with fabric glue .. The outcome is so adorable and original... I love this idea!!!!!

I enjoyed browsing through these parties.. I am bursting with ideas and getting more impatient now..hheeee:))
