Styling tables is something I’ve always loved, and I love seeing how others make the prettiest table scapes especially during the holidays!

Right before Mother’s Day last year, we ended up selling our 8 foot farmhouse dining table that C had built for us back in 2016. I was really sad to see it go, but it went to an amazing family who I know is going to make so many memories around it for years to come. It was a sentimental piece to me, as he made it right after our miscarriage and was something that kind of got our family thru that hard time. However, our dining room really isn’t a big space, and having a table that large took up a lot of real estate.

We ended up finding this one from World Market and scored it with the matching bench during a massive 25% off sale! It reminded me of the one C built, but lighter wood, a live edge, and the best part: it was smaller and could fit in our dining room so much better!

Alright, so let’s jump into the fall style for this table of ours this year! I’m probably going to reuse some of the place settings and chargers I have from last Christmas, but the centerpieces are what I wanted to focus on to make it feel warm and inviting.

I knew I wanted to do a vase or two but wasn’t sure what to get. I also wanted to attempt to make this as budget friendly as possible. I normally do Target drive up orders, but had to run in a month or so ago to return something and I spotted this large ceramic vase on my way out. It was everything I was wanting in a vase centerpiece! I added these fall stems to it and fluffed them out a little to make them look more natural. I added a couple of these acorn stems to fill and round it out just a bit. I also wanted to incorporate a smaller vase after I found the bigger one to give the table some dimension. My absolute fave textured planters were just released in black, so I felt like it was a sign! I grabbed the small size and then added some black leafy stems and some poppy-ish stems from the Target dollar spot.

Last, I added two of these woven pumpkins to the ends of each vase – I’ve had these for a few years now and I love that Target keeps bringing them back each season! They’re so timeless to me and just say ‘cozy vibes’. I really wanted to throw in a set of flameless candles, and actually did have some on the ends before the pumpkins, but it seemed offset. The pumpkins definitely finish the centerpiece for us!

What do you think? Do you create tablescapes for the holidays? I’d love to hear your ideas in the comments!
