Creating a Romantic Fall Tablescape with Apple Votives

“Listen! The wind is rising, and the air is wild with leaves, We have had our summer evenings, now for October eves!” Humbert Wolfe

I am enamored with the Autumn season. The chillier nights and autumn light encourage romantic evening meals.  These sweet little apples make charming votives for this rustic charming tablescape.

I love saving faded roses and these seemed perfect to add elegance and romance to this tablescape. The candlelight enhances their beauty.

Little white baby boo pumpkins are the sweetest! I included a few smaller pumpkins that I  painted with Chalked Spray paint. You know I love the beautiful power of paint!

To add rustic charm to the tablescape, I used a burlap coffee sack as a runner, burlap chargers and pressed dried leaves.

The votives were easy to make. Using small round apples I set a votive on top; scored around the edges; cut straight down with a pairing knife then scooped out just enough apple to drop in the tiny tea light votive.

Spending and enjoying the wonders of fall each day…enjoying the twilight hours enhanced by a beautiful tablescape and by candlelight.
