How to set the autumn table view-Pique Newsmagazine

Canadians have not welcomed a large group of people to their home for a long time, so it is understandable that they are a bit tight on the supply.

Whether it’s a relaxing meal with the family or a slightly messy dinner with a never-ending guest list, here is how to set up a table for autumn, from luminous gourds to shatter-proof champagne glasses.

If properly maintained (washed with cold water, do not dry), the elegant linen tablecloth can be used permanently. These tablecloths made in Canada are simple and elegant-critics are full of praise for the quality of the materials and care for the workmanship. Choose from nine different colors and sizes (we prefer pure beige, suitable for any season, and ideal for layering).

For things with specific seasonal landscapes, this exquisite tree pattern tablecloth comes in eight different sizes. It feels like autumn, but still very modern, without the typical pumpkin or leaf prints.

Layering different fabrics (tablecloths and tablecloths) creates an eclectic and warm atmosphere. In order to achieve the appearance, please turn to patterns (pictured), layering of different tones of linen and contrasting textures (such as this jacquard runner).

A suitable set of dinner plates should be versatile enough for workdays and private dinners, and will be posted on Instagram later. These mint glazed clay slabs (set in four positions) from LA-based line Gibson can be used every day.

Cloth napkins are expensive, so it is important to find a set of napkins that can be used for every dinner party throughout the year, not just disposable napkins for the holidays. H&M's two-piece tasseled linen napkins can be matched with almost any style of decoration, and these 100% cotton napkins come in 12 packs, which will become soft every time you wash.

Don't forget the napkin ring and position setting card. These modern white braided rings from Crate & Barrel (pictured) pair well with textured foldable cards and can be used to place seats and mark food on buffet tables. For more rustic tables, these rattan napkin rings will work well.  

All these elegant layers make it easier to fill the gourd. Mix these glass LED pumpkins (green, black and orange) with some mini fresh pumpkins as a centerpiece or mantle.

To fill a larger space, you can mix a set of white vases with candles, just like this suit influenced by modern origami, which can be displayed throughout the year.

If you want a bolder choice, you can fill this copper vase with fresh bouquets to create a relaxing centerpiece.

Mala The Brand is a series of high-quality hand-poured soy candles made in Vancouver. Approximately half an hour before the guests are ready to arrive, light wood or fireside candles to express a warm welcome. (These are also a great gift for the hostess.)

You will not find basic vanilla in the West End Wicks roster. Instead, these beautiful candles are named after birds, such as crows (described as "sweet scent after rain, with the warm warmth of hefeweizen beer and a little cinnamon emulation"). There is nothing basic.

If there is a large group of people who are expected to eat and drink all day, some simple adjustments will make hosting easier.

Napkins: Not as complicated as cloth, but equally effective. Pick a soft option and display them in this Art Deco style IKEA stand (less than $10).

Pure Palm Leaf Plates are sturdy and durable, 100% biodegradable, and suitable for microwaves and ovens (up to a certain temperature). Unlike paper plates, they can withstand a portion of gravy without getting wet. Please note that they are made of natural materials, so the colors and patterns are slightly different (some are darker in color and look more grainy, such as wood veneer).

Most cutlery sets can be used for 8 to 12 people, which is sometimes not enough for large dinner parties (especially when considering appetizers and desserts). This 320-piece disposable silver tableware has been highly praised by users for its strength, weight and comparability with real tableware. Disposable plastic is not ideal, but it can be cleaned and reused. (We chose silver instead of gold because users noticed that sometimes golden silverware gets dirty with black marks.)

Skip plastic bottles and switch to glass water bottles-they are not only more elegant, but also more environmentally friendly.

Water glasses are a bit tricky; many times, this is not a direct guest-to-glass ratio (especially when people drink wine, champagne, water, mixed drinks, etc.). These Tossware glasses are stackable and shatter-resistant (even if dropped). Clean and reuse them when you are done or put them in the recycling bin. They are available in a variety of sizes-even champagne glasses (pictured) and pint glasses.  

Using the classic 13-piece boxing bowl set, add a bit of kitsch to the otherwise elegant table, just like this one on Etsy. Amber matches the autumn theme perfectly. It is not outdated, but retro. This also means that only one is available.
