A Rustic Foodie’s Dessert Party – Fall Edition {with salted caramel and lace}

On most days, I would not consider my style anywhere along the descriptive terms: chic, country, or rustic.

But this week I make an exception for that. This week I am sharing with you my idea of a rustic, foodie’s dessert party. A party that is farm-to-table fresh, cooked and prepared with love, and boasts great company and delicious wine. I love the emphasis of salted caramel desserts lining a lace and burlap table, allowing guests to graze on delicious treats as they mingle with other attendees. The only thing that’s missing would be a handful of accent candle lights, in mason jars, of course, scattered around.

Keep in mind as you are enjoying this party idea board, that this set of inspirational images could easily translate to a birthday party theme, or even a wedding.

Here’s what I had in mind:

Candy Apple Dipping + Decorating Party Ideas

Are you ready for autumn? I know here in Florida we don’t really get  the full effects of the season, and sometimes it’s just hard to have pumpkin flavored everything when it’s still 90+ degrees out you know?

Last year on my original blog, I shared a really fun post about hosting a pumpkin decorating party. I love those types of parties because literally ANYONE can go and participate. And there doesn’t have to be a birthday or wedding reception to happen.  Just a party for the sake of a party!

Today you will see my favorite ideas for hosting an apple dipping party. As always, anything I could find an original recipe, shop or tutorial for I always share below, so check them out!
