Lory at Designthusiasm wanted to come up with an "early" fall table she might do in September.  For colors, she said she'd be inspired by fall fruit, which meant apples and pears.  So, for this early fall table, she'd have reds and pale, pear greens, rather than more typical fall colors.  Some of it would clearly transition well for Christmas!

 

Her inspiration bowl of fruit.  She scattered pieces from some apple potpourri under the bowl:

She has a set of salad plates with root vegetables-- perfect for harvest, as are the rattan placemats, suggestive of baskets, earth tones and all things 'woody'...

She clasped her red and filmy celery-colored napkins with simple rings of warm coppper--

The chunky tortoise colored glasses, love, bring in more warm browns--

She put her pale green and red roses, along with cabbage leaves, in rustic, Tuscan inspired pots--

Her candles are two shades of green-

Versatile-- with a few tweaks, could be Christmas, or a year-round table setting, for that matter.  

 

Another early fall scheme could be apples and grapes, with luscious purples coming in, and for flowers, asters and coneflowers...

@Oznell That is quite lovely and I think she has done a great job of getting ready for Fall without the orange colors.  I like these colors.  Apples, Granny Smith and Red Delicious with the animal print.  Fetching

So pretty!!!  I really love the colors represented by the apple pear fall theme.  I'm getting ready to have a big basket of apples and pears of my own on the counter lol.  My pears are ready, but it will be awhile longer before it's time for the apples.😃❤️

I love the colors too for fall. The napkins and the potpourri make the red and greens able to look like a colorful autumn.

It's a pretty and different setting that would fit in with a lot of everyday decor.
I don't like the glasses and plates that much but overall everything looks elegant and not overdone, just really nice and welcoming.

I do love table scapes! Love all the dishes and glassware and the centerpieces and the colors. Would be so much fun to sit down to one of those fancy tables and eat fancy food!!
