Fall Harvest Gathering- Planning a dinner party for autumn with ideas for recipes, free invite printables, tablescape decor and more. Hosting friends at the table with fall’s harvest.
Recently I hosted the neighborhood ladies for a simple fall harvest meal. This gathering was filled with autumn recipes, simple fall decor and a fun laid back party approach to enjoying the best fall has to offer!
I finally found a blue/teal pumpkin that was grown locally. So, of course, I had just had to have it. I love all things blue! These are so fun to decorate with. Here my gather sign, gourds, mums and other simple decor helped to pull the look together.
I picked up some beautiful sunflowers at Wegmans and they seemed perfect in my galvanized pitcher with a wheat bunch and other fall branches. I also decorated the table with a pretty gold lantern. Isn’t the light a lantern brings to a table setting gorgeous?
The MENU we enjoyed this evening

The menu got rave reviews from my guests and they especially loved the maple cinnamon dressing for the apple salad.
The French cake was amazing. First time I made it mixing up a few different recipe I found.Definitely didn’t turn out to be a beauty but it tasted light and amazing. I’ll definitely try it again as long as I can get it to look better, I’ll share with all of you!
