Elegant fall tablescape idea
This post may contain affiliate links.
Hi friend. I love today. Today I’m sharing an easy but elegant fall tablescape idea, but that’s not what I love most about today. I love joining these fabulous ladies every fall to bring you a whole week worth of fall inspiration. Every day you can check in for new ideas for table decor, wreaths, fall DIY and fall porches! It’s a whole lotta fall gorgeousness in one spot. I can’t wait for you to visit all my friend’s blogs and see their talent!
Here are the details on my unexpected fall color palette and how to make an elegant fall tablescape on a tight budget, then you can head over and see the other ideas! My fall table and color scheme all started with this gorgeous teapot I scored for $5 at a garage sale. I just knew I could work shades of pink and plum into my fall decor. 
I started with a wood tray I made years ago layered over a thrift store scarf that cost a buck!
Next I added some beautiful pink roses from the grocery store into my vintage teapot. Clippings from the yard make for the perfect free accessory to any table.
We love pretty around here, but we are super informal so I use good old paper napkins made elegant with napkin rings. These brass napkin rings are another garage sale score, aren’t they the coolest?
Then I saw these adorable paper plates at Big Lots! Adding them on top of nice textured chargers from Kirkland’s and Maroon velvet chargers from the 99 Cent Only store really brought the paper plates up a notch or two!
Use what you have, throw in some inexpensive paper plates and keep on hunting those garage sales and every table you decorate can be elegant on a budget! Now go see these other fabulous fall ideas coming out this week from my friends:

Kim your table is gorgeous! I love the pink and green accents! So inviting, I’ll be right over!
Your table is so pretty, Kim! I love your vintage tea pot and the flowers that you added to it. I was super surprised to read that your pretty plates are paper. Guess who will be high tailing it to Big Lots to find some to use in my home?! It’s always a pleasure to see how you decorate and create.
I love all the vintage feels, so gorgeous!
Kim, your table is elegant and unique. It has an old world charm that reminds me of the Victorian Age. The pink and burgundy colors work really well with your white table. Happy Fall.
I love the pinks and greens you used in your tablescape! Great tips for budget friendly decor. I want to go garage saling with you, that teapot was a steal!
Oh em gee….pink and chartruse!! LOVE!!! It’s such a change of pace and refreshingly original. Nicely done… Happy Fall
Hi Kim! I swear I had/have that very same pink and green pitcher! I need to go unearth it. And i love that you mixed those two for an unexpected but totally elegant Fall table.
Thanks for this brilliant idea and for opening your beautiful home.
Hugs,
Lynn
Very pretty non-traditional fall colors! It feels just dreamy!
What a happy fall table! I love how you used affordable items to decorate with! I haven’t been to Big Lots yet this season, so you know where I’ll be running to this afternoon!
Love the colors you used!!! So fresh and pretty!!!
I can’t believe you found those adorable plates at Big Lots. What a great find! Everything looks beautiful. I never would have thought of these colors for fall but it looks amazing. So glad you’re touring with us!
Love that everything in your gorgeous pink and green tablescape is an inexpensive find. I want those paper plates! Rethinking my scarves to use on our Thanksgiving table thanks to your great idea. Just lovely!
Kim, your non traditional colors are right up my alley! LOVE them!! And gotta love Big Lots…so elegant, you’d never guess they were paper!
Absolutely gorgeous tablescape! And the teapot is so cute. I have always been a sucker for teapots!
Kim, What a happily unexpected take on fall! I love the pink/plum tones, and it makes so much sense to celebrate Breast Cancer awareness month with a pink pumpkin theme! Always love visiting your heart-warming blog:) Fun to finally get to hop with you!
So beautiful!! You win the prize for making paper look like a million bucks!
I second that! Originally You! As always, another post with beautiful ideas!
Grocery store flowers, paper plates and paper napkins never looked so good. Such a pretty, nontraditional fall tablescape.
thanks friend
Beautiful table. I love it!
Hand over those plates and no one gets hurt.
I love a fellow plate hoarder 🙂
Love your color palette! The greens, pinks, and maroon is just gorgeous!
Beautiful upscaling of something so simple. Love it!
This is such an elegant fall tablescape, so gorgeous! The colour combo is perfection against that stunning hutch!
