There’s no better way to welcome the season than with a thoughtful gathering—and Jenni couldn’t agree more. Last week, she hosted an intimate backyard luncheon, inviting friends to slow down and savor the season’s simple pleasures. With a beautifully set table and a fall-approved menu created by chef and recipe developer Chloe Walsh, the afternoon offered endless inspiration for anyone looking to host a dreamy get-together themselves.

The Quintessential Fall Table

First things first: Jenni set the tone with a table inspired by the season. With this tablescape, she layered warmth and texture through considered details—seasonal flowers and fresh blackberries to create a natural, sculptural centerpiece and bring depth to each place setting. Then, she put out our fresh take on a dining essential—the Pacific Dinnerware in Chocolate—for a rich, grounded, fall-ready palette. Finally, she completes the table with the Bistro Vintage Finish Cutlery Set to add a touch of timeless charm.

A Taste of the Season

Chef Chloe Walsh joined the gathering to craft a menu rooted in seasonal comfort. She served a homemade honey-pecan pie—rich, buttery, and just the right amount of sweet—alongside a crisp apple shrub mocktail that captured the essence of fall in a glass. Each was a crowd-pleaser: simple, intentional, made to savor.
