Early Fall Entry Table With Greenery

Here we are at the beginning of what we think of as the start of fall, yet our summer weather seems to be never-ending. So for a few more weeks I’m decorating with late summer or early fall in mind, mixing shades of green and earthy browns. This year I’m decorating the entry table by dividing the table into three sections. I’m loving the overall balanced look.

Faux Greenery Arrangement And Lighting

Starting on the right side we have with a large arrangement of a faux greenery in a cream colored urn. These faux chestnut and nandina branches with their green and rusty leaves look like they could be straight out of our yard. This is the first time I have mixed these two types of branches in an arrangement together, but I’m thinking this is a winning combination.

Nestling next to the vase is a dried floral bouquet on a stack of books, adding another layer of texture and early fall colors. To see how to create a dried bouquet, and style it with plaid book covers, click on my post here. The blue and white gingham ribbon holding the bouquet together is a simple piece of torn fabric. I’m using these colors to coordinate with the blue and white watercolors hanging above the table.

For balance on the opposite side of the table we have a neutral colored lamp. I’m placing it on a large book to give the lamp a little more prominence with weight and height. It’s a simple trick that I often use.

Styling A Wicker Tray

In the center of the entry table, I’m decorating a round wicker tray with a healthy fern, a hurricane candle holder and a pewter mug with feathers. This pretty fern adds another layer of greenery that livens up the entry. Plants are usually part of our everyday decor, and find their way into most of my vignettes. To see another example, check out my early fall sideboard post from last week here featuring a large fern in a basket.

The book under the plant is not just for adding layers. It is also creating a level surface for the terra cotta pot holding the fern. I love decorating with wicker, but sometimes the weave can be really uneven, that’s when books come in handy. Plates can serve the same purpose, like the one under the little pewter mug. 

This time of year I love decorating with feathers, because they add a natural rustic texture that is so beautiful. To see how to decorate a vintage frame with feathers click on my post, here.
