Copper And White Pumpkin Pumpkin Outdoor Tablescape
Get ideas for setting an easy and pretty table fall table in your outdoor spaces. And learn designer secrets for finding and using inspiration!
Setting a pretty outdoor fall tablescape is easy and fun to do this time of year! I’m inspired by all the beauty around me! The weather is beautiful with just a little chill in the air, so I’m heading outside with copper mugs, wood chargers, and lots of little white pumpkins. Get inspired to set a table, big or small, in your outdoor spaces.
WHAT CATCHES YOUR EYE
Where do you go for inspiration? When something catches your eye, pay attention! Just something as small as a copper mug can spark your creativity, as it did mine, to set a table.
I actually had copper mugs, a small copper pitcher and footed wood rounds in my decor stash.
It’s All About Details
I usually am drawn to a room, vignette, or picture because of its attention to detail! Creating detail is very, very important and deserves to be studied!
I really loved the tied flatware for fall. Using simple twine along with a sprig of greens turns a fork, knife, and spoon into something eye-catching!
I tied up copper handled flatware with twine and added seeded eucalyptus.
The wood round chargers were another little attention to detail I loved! Mine have little feet that make them stand off the table. These little details put me over the brink in a very good way!
Always look for little details that make you happy! And use them in what you create! These special details will make others happy, too!
Think Outside The Box
It’s important to think outside the box when decorating and creating something new! In the fall, I often use a tartan or plaid throw as a tablecloth. Instant texture and such a fun fall element to add to a table! How easy is that!
I used an inexpensive neutral-colored decorative throw on this outdoor table. It was the perfect base for the calm look I carried throughout the rest of the table.
Hone This One Skill For Prettier Tablescapes
It’s all about finding what inspires you and getting your creative juices flowing. The one skill that will help you the most with any type of decorating, including setting a table, is to look at pictures of things you love. Bookmark or pin lots and lots of images. I’ve done this for decades! Before interest, I would pour through magazines, tear out pages I loved, and study them.
The ability to dissect or pull apart decor and get a mental picture of what makes this room or table or arrangement so pleasing to you is decorating gold for YOU!
It should be your everyday practice to dissect decor you love to see what the creatives used and how they styled whatever it is that caught your attention! Because you will learn decorating secrets from the beautiful images you see! And you will become a better home decorator!
I do this all day long for my job! It’s just second nature! And year after year, I became a better decorator. And you will too!
The Centerpiece
The centerpiece is simple but showy!
I used one of my favorite white pottery lanterns and filled it with seeded eucalyptus. The lantern’s centered on a large white platter filled with white pumpkins from a local farmstand.
The color palette on this table is tight, and the centerpiece echos what is on the rest of the table.
Repeating Elements From Your Table
One thing that makes a table noteworthy, is to take an element or two from the table and add it to the spaces around it.
I used more pumpkins and a white mum in a white pottery container to continue the decor off the table. This gives this tablescape a very finished look.
You will probably not want to place your fall elements like I did. However, you could add a stack of white pumpkin off to the side of the table, or put a drink table next to the dining table and add mums in a pretty container.
You could ever pull up an extra chair and sit a pumpkin in it. Get creative, friends!
I hope you have found this post informative and your decorating lightbulb is not only lighting up but showing you the way to new and wonderful creations of your own, my friend!

Our summer got quite hot here too! Come on cool weather!
Yvonne, I love your explanations of how to be inspiration by others. The the white vase and seeded eucalyptus is a wonderful centerpiece. Like you, I love all the details ~ tying the copper flatware with the florals and the pumpkins on the chairs. Of course, I love all the copper too.
Yvonne what a gorgeous fall table. The touches of copper add such beauty. I love the tied flatware. Such a cute touch.

Love how you’ve styled your outdoor table for this Pinterest Challenge, Yvonne! I wish I had relooked at our inspiration piece before I shot pics over the weekend, but I literally had 15 minutes of in-and-out sun before the clouds really settled in… I would have put a tray under my smaller but perfect for my table centerpiece. <3
