Even though many of us are still being kept apart from many of our friends and get-togethers, make a special effort to plan a dinner gathering under the safety of the open air and under the stars, before the sharp winds chase us inside. Hopefully, you have a family \u201cpod\u201d or small circle of friends that are still able to be together, although the place settings have to be further apart. Set up your patio or picnic table, grab a few old quilts or an array of tablecloths and imbue your outdoor table with \u201cfall flair.\u201d Try a few of these decorating ideas to brighten up these lonely days to make a fall dinner festive with harvest hues.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/ImageA.jpg\" alt=\"White wooden picnic table and bench under pavilion with glass bottles and flowers in a park with trees in the background\" title=\"Source: HGTV Home\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14519 lazyload\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/ImageA.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/ImageA-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/hgtvhome.sndimg.com\/content\/dam\/images\/hgtv\/fullset\/2015\/1\/27\/0\/BP_HFXUP204H_Holt_outdoor-dining-space_AFTER_467562-1039346.jpg.rend.hgtvcom.1280.960.jpeg\" rel=\"mfp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">HGTV Home<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>1.

Mighty Menu<\/h4>\n<p>Find a richly carved empty frame and place a chalkboard or poster or decorative paper within the frame. Calligraphy or print in large writing, the menu for all to see.  Everyone always likes to know what is being served and food and drinks just seem to taste better under the moon and stars. The Autumnal Equinox has arrived, so squeeze all the goodness out of the ever approaching shorter days and longer nights.

Bittersweet Branches<\/h4>\n<p>Bittersweet is the quintessential spring of autumn. Snip a few short branches and tie with raffia around the napkins for the easiest napkin ring.

Corn Garland<\/h4>\n<p>To frame your entire dining view, string up a homemade Indian corn garland.

Green Gourds<\/h4>\n<p>Switch out the oranges of pumpkins of past seasons and go for the pale and dark greens of the new, unusual fall heirloom pumpkins, squashes and gourds. Look for the Blue Lakota that is blue\/green in color or the Chioggia that is a thick skinned green pumpkin or the Green Hubbard squash. Accent with the whites of Casper or White Ghost. Decorate your table or spread around the backyard for an innovative fall color scheme.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Image8.jpg\" alt=\"Table setting with white candles, green gourds, and pumpkins in a backyard, outdoor fall gathering\" title=\"Source: Fern Creek Cottage &amp; The White Buffalo Styling Co.\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14525 lazyload\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Image8.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Image8-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Image8-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_kEvUNPRz4pA\/TMh9XQgcjKI\/AAAAAAAAIGA\/VW0gmyeRGec\/s1600\/green+fall+006.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Fern Creek Cottage<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thewhitebuffalostylingco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/DSC_0186.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The White Buffalo Styling Co.<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>9.
