Simple Fall Centerpieces For The Table
01. Pumpkin and Lantern Glow
Combine small pumpkins with lanterns and candles at varying heights. Place them on a tray or directly on the table. Pair them with dried fall leaves from around the yard.
02. Pinecones and Greenery
Gather pinecones and greenery from outside and arrange them on a neutral table runner. Add tall candles and tea lights to the arrangement for a natural, textured look. This centerpiece keeps things simple and organic.
03. Fall Foliage Arrangement
Use a simple vase and fill it with fall foliage from outside. Place it on a neutral runner, and add cute, small white sugar bowls and tall candles. The centerpiece has a clean and elegant look.
04. Mason Jar Vases
Line up three or four mason jars and fill them with candles, seasonal flowers like mums, or fill with pinecones and decorative berry branches. Add some pinecones and foliage like orange and red leaves around the jars. This creates a rustic, easy centerpiece that looks handpicked from the garden.
05. Apple and Squash Basket
Fill a small wicker basket with red and green apples, squash, and mini pumpkins. Surround the basket with more of these items for a farm-to-table look that brings both vibrancy and simplicity.
06. Wooden Candle Holder With Succulents
Find a long Sugarmold candleholder or a narrow wood dough bowl and fill it with alternating candles and small succulents.
07. Wheat Bundles
Add wheat stalks to a pretty vase or a whicker basket for a natural, textured look. Add a few pumpkins for variety.
08. Pumpkin Pile
Gather pumpkins in various shades of orange, white, and green. Stack them in the center of the table around a couple tall candles. You can also tuck in a few dried leaves or twigs for added texture and fragrance.
09. Mason Jars and Tea Lights
Fill clear glass jars with epsom salts and add tea lights. Tie a burlap ribbon around the top. Find our full mason jar and tea lights tutorial here (just leave off the last step, for a fall look!)
10. Bronze Tray and Fall Accents
Place a large bronze tray in the center of the table and top it with a couple small bouquets of fall flowers. Add small pumpkins, pinecones, and candles for a nature-inspired centerpiece.
11. Tiered Tray Display
Use a tiered tray to display a variety of fall decorations, such as mini pumpkins, gourds, pinecones, and candles. You can mix in some faux greenery or flowers to soften the look. The tiers add height and dimension to your table without taking up too much space.
12. Eucalyptus and White Pear Elegance
Lay a garland of eucalyptus down the center of your table. Scatter white pumpkins, either fresh or faux, among the greenery. The soft green of the eucalyptus paired with the clean white of the pears brings an elegant and earthy feel to your simple fall centerpieces for your table.
