The arrival of fall also heralds the start of the holiday entertaining season. Host guests stylishly by setting up a serving station with an autumnal feel.

Nothing knocks off a fall chill like a warm mug of tea. Make it easy for guests to serve themselves by neatly storing an assortment of herbal teas in antique serveware, like these old pewter pieces. The metal's aged patina adds to the warm feeling of a cozy autumn afternoon.

Bring a touch of elegance to your fall fete with colorful flowers, fruit and warm woods. This arrangement was made by placing bright orange ranunculus in glass votives set inside a reclaimed oak plank, then filling the votives with pomegranate seeds for a richly hued effect.

Fall decorating is all about cozy touches that remind you of the great outdoors. Bring a woodsy vibe to your table setting by placing dinnerware on log slice chargers. They're readily available online and in some craft stores -- or, head outdoors with a chainsaw and cut your own.
