Autumn and Halloween needn't always be orange, amber and black. This tablescape marked the transition through the seasons, taking the teal, green, pink and gold from the ST~GERMAIN colour palette as inspiration. These colours might not be traditional to autumn but they bring an elegant, elevated take on a typical table for this time of year.

I fell head over heels for this tablecloth by Summerill & Bishop. The print is based on the malachite - a mineral known for transformation and times of transition.

For flowers, I used the first of the hanoi ranunculus (you know how I love these), with the last of the dahlias and cosmos. I painted these same flowers onto postcards of table tips that all the guests took home.
