What could be more appropriate for an early fall tablescape than one with a football theme! And of course, when I say football, I mean Patriot football :)
My inspiration began with this cute little white & blue football helmet. Scott works for CSX and they received these helmets at a meeting last fall. (Not sure why..lol!). I stored it away in the closet....knowing I'd use it for fall decorating of some sorts.
I decided to go with a white plastic cloth I had on hand so the blue in the dishes and accessories would stand out. You definitely don't need a fancy cloth when you're workin' with a football theme!
The white plates with blue trim around the band are by Noritake...as well as the blue Swirl glasses. I found the blue soup bowls at Walmart a long time ago.
I also had two blue spirit towels that I decided to use as place mats. I really need four, so I'll be on the lookout for more at this year's games.
For the centerpiece, I used a blue pom pom, mega phone, and two small footballs from our high school games. I put the helmet on a white cake stand to balance out the height of the mega phone.
I found these popcorn holders in the $1 section at Walmart recently. They are the perfect color of blue! I added blue and yellow (for gold) paper strips to them for extra school color.
I had some left over blue polka dotted napkins from another event, so I put them to use as well. One on top of the white cake stand really sets off the white helmet.
This cute football tray came from the Dollar Store. I put it on the bar because I know I'll be adding fruit or snacks to it for easy reach.
Last, but not least, is the football shaped container I saved from last year. I bought it full of pretzels and knew I needed to keep it for refills. Right now, it's full of Scott's chocolate stash!
Here's to another great year of Wilcox County Patriot football!
