Fall Centerpiece FAQs
Creating a simple fall centerpiece can be both fun and easy. Start adding a base, such as a tray, wooden box, vase, basket or dough bowl. Then select a focal point, like a small pumpkin, candles or fall florals. Around this central piece you can opt to arrange seasonal elements such as fall leaves, berry sprays, acorns, pinecones, and mini gourds. Varying the heights of your elements will add depth and visual interest. Simplicity is key, so don’t overcrowd your centerpiece. Allow each element to shine and complement the others.
Start with a fall tablecloth, runner or placemat that complements your tableware. For the centerpiece, consider the guidelines mentioned above. Consider incorporating candles to create ambiance. The goal is to balance color, texture, and seasonal accents to create a cozy and inviting tablescape.

Yeah, ditto, my favorite time of year! The smells, the colors, the changing of the season and I think of my Grandma’s house with the wood burning stove, fireplaces, and the…..food! Yes, bring it! During this terrible time these memories bring me comfort and the hope and prayers that better days are ahead…..for all of us.

Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the colors of f the crisp air, the smell of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, hot chocolate, coffee, spiced tea, scented candles warm blankets, decorations, a good book or a Hallmark movie. I love the center pieces your showing and want to make them all. I will be taking a class at Micheals Crafts store to learn how to make autumn wreaths. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless
