Blushing Antler Pumpkin – French Kissed

Succulents seem to be everywhere so why not included on a pumpkin.    The greens are so fresh and pretty.   I love the addition of the moss and how she built up the arrangement in layers.  It’s both elegant and interesting to look at.  It makes me feel like a fairy could pop out at any time.

Fall Dough Bowls

What fall decor post can be complete without a dough bowl arrangement.  Dough bowls are very trendy and understandably so.  They are antique,  farmhouse and speak of a simpler time.  This arrangement using soft colours is simple to create and the post includes step by step directions.  I can just imagine this in the middle of a farmhouse tables with the scent of fresh herbs coming from it.

Like fall pumpkins, fall tablescapes are everywhere online.  There are beautiful examples in all colours and styles.  This particular tablescape strikes me as elegant not only because of its opulence but because of the traditional startling white china backdrop.  The classic nature of white and gold in this tablescape is gorgeous.

Elegant Fall Cake

I chose to finish this roundup with a fall dessert.  A good cup of coffee and a piece of this cake is the fitting close to any fall day don’t you think.   This tutorial is easy to follow and the final result is amazing.    This cake is elegant because of the contrast between the elaborate leaf top and quietness of the rustic hand iced cake.  I think its beautifully done.
