Fall is a time to celebrate nature's bounty. Take a trip to the farmer's market or simply collect some beautiful items from your backyard. Bring them into your home for use as an artistic and unique table centerpiece. If your centerpiece relies on fall leaves, place a foil-wrapped leaf-shaped chocolate on each plate as a favor. If the centerpiece contains pumpkins or gourds, provide a snow-white or orange mini-pumpkin for each guest. Does this Spark an idea?
Potpourri
A nature-inspired bag of potpourri poured onto a platter or any shallow container is the beginning of a beautiful and aromatic centerpiece. Place pillar candles of differing heights in the center and surround them with the potpourri. Add natural items collected from your yard, such as seed pods, pine cones, buckeyes and acorns. The result is earthy, rustic and autumnal.
Apples
Apples are the fruit most associated with autumn, and they make a colorful seasonal centerpiece. Whether it's apple-green Granny Smith, Red or Yellow Delicious, or any other variety, your guests will enjoy this pretty and edible centerpiece. Place the apples on a glass pedestal, hurricane or bowl, or pile them inside a grapevine wreath decorated with fall foliage.
Leaves
An assortment of dramatically colored fall leaves makes a unique and rustic centerpiece for entertaining. Pick leaves of different hues, shapes and sizes still attached to their twigs. Poke them into a water-soaked oasis block placed inside a beautiful low container. Fill in with a few fall flowers. If you're feeling really creative, use a hollowed-out pumpkin as a vase.
Gourds
One of the simplest and least expensive centerpieces for fall relies on the plentiful supply of gourds available at farmer's markets and grocery stores every autumn. Buy an assortment of interesting shapes, sizes and colors and pile them into platters, hurricanes or pedestals. Display them alone or surrounding a pillar candle.
