Looking to get into the “fall spirit”?  Here our some tips on DIY Fall Centerpieces…

Beginning to decorate for fall is one of those warm and fuzzy moments. The rich colors, the cool and crisp weather, and all of the many, many pumpkin-flavored things that are no longer just an afterthought but front and center in your mind—just like your centerpieces. Fall time welcomes entertaining and lots of it. Now, we know you have a few recipes that are to-die-for, so why not create a centerpiece that’s just as fun for you and your guests?

Here are some of the best ways to create a breathtaking fall centerpiece.

Set the Scene

Creating a centerpiece can be over and underwhelming. Sometimes it’s too sparse and bare looking, and other times it looks more like an overdone window display than a thoughtful finishing touch on the dinner table. A great way to begin is by setting the scene with a complementary yet neutral tablecloth or runner that will anchor your decorations. Unless you are using your décor in place of a tablecloth, then we suggest you use something like a wide and open-mouthed basket or tray to keep things contained. Nobody wants foliage in their dessert…

Pick a Palette

It goes without saying that the classic fall palette is a pleasing monochromatic color scheme of deep red, orange, and gold. However, don’t be afraid to shake things up and go with something different. Play around with soft and toned-down hues of pale, powdery blues, grey, or even deep purple and green to give it a natural, earthy feel that is still warm and inviting. You want your display to be pleasantly surprising and not, er, alarming.

Add the Finishing Touches

Once you’ve arranged everything out on the table, you’ll most likely see a few gaps that you could leave empty or fill with a few extra pieces. Leaving the blank space will offer a more minimal look, and if you don’t have a lot of table space it’s probably a good idea for when you are serving food. However, if you do have enough space, that gives you some room to play, decor wise! Use candles with a pop of color that will both add a nice aesthetic element and some warmth once you light them. Or grab something like a wooden or brass piece to give it texture and character. Don’t be frustrated if at first it doesn’t work- just keep at it!
