Gathering with the people we love is a gift whether we find ourselves eating off paper plates or fancy dishes. Even so, adding beautiful accents fosters meaning to the moments shared and can be just as easy to pull together. This tablescape uses touches of the outdoors with real leaves, pinecones and grapevine wreaths. These simple additions add personality and warmth to any autumn table. Using these natural accents, you will have a stunning tablescape that costs you only a leisurely walk around your neighborhood and a passing chat with a neighbor, if you are so lucky.

Tips on How to Write Place Cards

Handwriting guests' names on place cards gives an extra personalized touch to your table setting. Start with writing the name with pencil (an eraser is your friend), then trace with a thin tipped sharpie. Finally, go over all the down strokes with a thick tipped sharpie to create a hand lettering effect. Watch the how-to video on IG @silvertoothhome. Happy Gatherings!
