Fall into the season

As we all know the holidays are a crazy, hectic time.  This year, instead of trying to add one more event into the mix, my parents decided to beat the rush and host a "Fall into the season" party instead of the typical Christmas affair.

 The outdoor fireplace was one of my favorite areas adorned with magnolia leaves, a gourd filled wreath and many votives. 

Three square vases wrapped with monogrammed burlap ribbon along with magnolia leaves and mercury glass votives draped the mantle in the keeping room.  (Ribbon from Pottery Barn.)

The living room fireplace was dressed with live magnolia leaves and mercury glass votives.
