Black and White Rustic Modern Fall Table Setting

It’s no secret that I absolutely love to entertain in our home. Having a huge table for friends and family to sit at was really important to me. A place to share not only good food but great conversation. I’ve already shared my neutral fall table setting this year, and I’m really looking forward to sharing even more entertaining ideas in the next few weeks. Today, I’m kicking off the Styled + Set Holiday Entertaining Tour hosted by the lovely Lory from Designthusiasm.

I took a little bit of a risk today and decided to go with a Black and White Rustic Modern Fall Table Setting.

You can’t go wrong with the classic black and white and pops of greenery. It’s a look that can be adapted for any time of year.

For the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, I added large antlers, white pumpkins and earth tone flowers to create a modern fall look.

Layering plates in contrasting color is a great way to add dimension to your table!

    Taryn, I really like the bold balance of color! The simplicity plays off the black and white, and it all makes the centerpiece all the more lovely… :-) Wonderful job!!
