Color Splash

The advent of autumn brings an abundance of color, from reds to golds to oranges. Delight guests with a tablescape and a menu to match this awe-inspiring season. From the china to the place mats to the flower arrangement, your table can usher in this beautiful time of year. All it takes to find inspiration is a look outside. Whimsical touches, such as miniature pumpkins or brightly colored peacock feathers, can lend a lighthearted feel to an otherwise stately table. Present such eye-appealing dishes as Mushroom and Chestnut Soup and Maple-Orange Cloverleaf Scones alongside sweet Chocolate and Peanut Butter Mousse Trifles and Creamy Pumpkin-Custard Tartlets for a fall-flavored celebration.
