What a fun day yesterday was on White Thread!  I loved finally sharing all the elements of my Fall’s Bounty table but if you’re anything like me, you see pretty things and immediately think “where do I get that stuff?”  Well don’t worry, I’ve got you covered with a comprehensive list of everything used for the feature.  And if I’ve inadvertently missed anything (quite possible given the number of posts over the last 2 days!), please leave a comment and I’ll be happy to update.

Stay tuned because today I have a whole series of tips on pulling together your pretty, pretty treat table, no matter the theme!

PHEW!!!  This has been a serious day of posting!  I hope you enjoyed the whole feature.  I had so much fun putting it all together and dreaming up all the ways to embody fall in a single table. 

Tomorrow I’ll be sharing all my resources behind the project as well as my step-by-step guide to creating gorgeous tables like this, no matter your theme. 

Leave me a comment and let me know your favorite element from the feature!  Are you inspired to try something like this for your own weddings?  Would you like to see more of these features here on White Thread?  Any interesting themes you want me to tackle? I love hearing from you guys!

And of course, I can’t forget to thank the INCREDIBLE Nancy Ray for joining me on location at the Fearrington Barn to shoot this whole thing. Not only is Nancy obviously crazy talented, she is THE SWEETEST and even stuck around to help me jump my car back to life after I killed the battery by leaving the hazards on for 2+ hours while we set up and broke down. Whoops! Thanks Nancy!!

Inspired by these adorable apple tree kits, I decided to create some earth friendly favors in the form of “apple-tree-to-be” kits.  You could really do this with any tree, flower, bulb, etc. but in keeping with my apple themed affair, I choose apple seedlings packaged up in little burlap sacks.  I arranged them in an inexpensive galvanized tub filled with more wood excelsior.  A simple sign and velvet ribbon is all you need to complete the display and encourage guests to return a little something to Mother Earth.

My little flag banners serve to both add a festive look to my table AND define the space as somewhere where a little something special is going on.  These were SO EASY to make (but of course they’ll be even easier for you with the free templates below) and I really think they add so much to the overall table.  I strung them up on baker’s twine and used clear push pins to fastened them to the table.  They weigh nothing so you could easily hang them with a little double-sided tape on a wall too.

Punctuation can be a little tricky to work into these banners but I’m a stickler for grammar and would seriously not be able to sleep at night without that apostrophe!  So instead of dedicating a whole flag to it (which I think makes the whole thing a tad more difficult to read), I used a mega-sized 3.5″ scalloped circle punch.  Easy to read, grammatically correct and, most important in my world CUTE!

These mini apple pies are super high on the cuteness scale but thankfully low on effort with the help of a few little tools.  For the purposes of my photo shoot, I totally cheated and used store bought pie crust and filling but I LOVE the idea of enlisting the help of a handy relative or friend to share their coveted apple pie recipe.  Use these adorable 4″ pie pans as the base and then give the crust a very custom look with the help of some Linzer cookie cutters.  I nestled mine in a bed of wood excelsior and then packaged the whole thing up with some baker’s twine and a coordinating label.  Am I the only one who loves when mini versions of normal sized things are created?  I can’t get enough of it!

Of course no apple inspired table could be complete without my personal favorite little treats – caramel apples!  They’re re-emergence is reason alone to love fall.  I think smaller apples always work better.  As much as the gluttonously enormous apples look appealing, I promise you 1/4 of the way into it you’ll never want to see a caramel apple again.  And that’s from someone who has tried A LOT of those big apples.  The smaller, more delicate versions are far easier to maneuver (try pink lady apples for a more diminutive variety).  Plus you’ll leave your guests room for all those other tasty treats!

I chose to mix it up a bit and did hazelnut covered apples in addition to the traditional caramel variety.  Um…yum…that’s all I’m going to say.  You can totally get creative with this.  Once you dip them into the caramel, you’ve got a good minute before they start to set up and you can pretty much dip them in anything in that minute and get a good coating.  How about Heath Bar?  M&M’s?  Yogurt chips?  Can anything + caramel possibly taste bad?
