Fall is definitely apple season here in Ohio. So what better way to celebrate than with an apple picking party? Off to pinterest I went to find all the elements of the perfect apple-themed event! Here are some of the “fresh picked” ideas I loved to help you plan a gorgeous fall gathering of your own!
FAVORITE TABLESCAPE

This beautiful set up from Jessica G at Oh So Printable is the perfect mix of down-home charm and rustic elegance. Apple pies-on-a-stick, candy apples, and apple cake donuts evoke all the sweet treats from the orchard. The farmhouse hutch is my favorite detail, hiding treats for guests to discover, much like picking the perfect apple. Check out the entire party at catchmyparty.com!.
FAVORITE SWEET TREAT
Apple Cookies by NatSweets. Photo courtesy of Jennifer Kaye Photography.
I couldn’t resist these beautiful sugar cookies made by NatSweets for a party styled by Charming Touch Parties. Almost too delicious to eat, the exquisite detail and ornate shape make them irresistible! I can’t even begin to imagine how you create such a precise chevron pattern in royal icing, but NatSweets has done it to perfection.
FAVORITE PARTY FAVORS
Styled and photographed by Petite Social.
One of my favorite party sites, The Party Wagon, showcased this vintage-inspired apple party. I spied the fruit served in mason jars and thought of a fantastic party favor: mason jars filled with apple pie filling! Giving your guests something they can enjoy weeks after apple season has gone is a fantastic and thoughtful idea. And you can re-purpose the mason jar! Check out more of their beautiful work at Petite Social.
