For this succah, I chose to embrace the elements of the outdoors — bringing the outside in — so I could create a vision that mimics the beauty and colors of nature unique to this time of year.
Before I come up with a concept or a color palette for an event or tablescape, I first assess the space. This way, I can embrace the style and elements that are already present rather than fighting them. For this succah, I chose to embrace the elements of the outdoors — bringing the outside in — so I could create a vision that mimics the beauty and colors of nature unique to this time of year.
The easiest way to bring the outside in is by decorating with greenery and florals. Instead of using one large flower arrangement, I chose vases in different sizes and shapes, with one type of flower in each. Singlebloom arrangements are always classic and chic, especially when they’re comprised of eucalyptus, flowering mint, and wildflowers. I kept the stems long and used a simple, clear vase for a clean, streamlined look.
With its richness and wintery feel, velvet is an ideal fabric to awaken the feelings of the changing weather. What could be prettier than a marigold-toned velvet runner? This set the mood for the table and gave me a beautiful color to work with. Next I paired natural wood with vibrant autumn shades like marigold and green to bring the feeling of the outside in. The gold-backed chairs, gold-trimmed chargers, amber glasses, and golden linens all complement the beautiful fall colors.
I chose woven placemats and coordinating embroidered napkins to create an organic look. I love the color and feel of these placemats. What a gorgeous way to add visual depth!
