Today I’m sharing with you my tablesetting I made for Oktoberfest! Oktoberfest starts on September 20 this year. Last year, I had the privilege to visit Germany during the start of the Oktoberfest. What a sight to see!
I used my Bavarian nutcrackers in the center. From left to right: an Oktoberfest salesman, a wine maker, and the Bavarian dressed up in full regalia.

The Oktoberfest themed nutcracker is seen closer here. I printed off the Lebkuchenherzen (the gingerbread hearts) and placed them on top of each plate.

If you’ve been to Germany you would’ve noticed these little gingerbread hearts everywhere:

Now looking from the other side… another nutcracker comes into view. You will also noticed scattered around the table I have little steins.
The steins are vintage. Most people pick them up as souvenirs from their travels. I picked mine up at an estate sale. Ironically, I’ve been to all the places that are featured on the little steins… and I didn’t have to lug them back in my suitcase and paid a fraction of the price! I call that a win-win!

The official colors of Oktoberfest are blue and white. However, since it is also a harvest festival, I thought using orange looked good and it compliments the blue.

One last look!
I hope you enjoyed my Oktoberfest themed table! Be sure to check out my other posts about how to throw a great Oktoberfest party.
Well, this is just so much fun! I love the idea of an Oktoberfest celebration. And my favorite thing…definitely the nutcracker 🙂
It may have been an excuse to pull out my nutcrackers early, heehee..,
Such an adorable table!
We have always gone out for Octoberfest. What a great idea to celebrate at home with an Octoberfest tablescape!
