simple fall table centerpiece ideas with colorful cozy touches
My favorite way to make festive fall centerpiece ideas (on a budget) is to create a focal point. To keep things simple, in this first look, I use just a few natural elements for a rustic, yet elegant feel.
Use Decorative containers or Trays for these simple fall table centerpiece ideas
The simplest way to achieve a sort gathered or collected look, is to use a vessel. Things like wide slender metal containers or wooden trays.
Here a wide wood crate acts a tray to hold everything together in this easy seasonal centerpiece.
Chocolate sunflowers are paired with a few other artificial fall florals like maple leaves and pip berry branches.
A few branches of mustard-yellow florals are added in with brown glass jars for contrast and colorful fall flare. Here I used artifical chocolate sunflowers, but you can easily add fresh water to your vases and decorate with fresh sunflowers, when in season!
Add Length and Drama with WIllow Branches
To create a dramatic look with height and vertical length, some long natural wood willow branches are added in.
The willow branches are layered with a few gold and brown maple leaves. To add a bit of soft charm to the glass bottle vases, tie a bit of jute string around the neck of each bottle.
Add inexpensive fall decor Fillers like mini Pumpkins and Gourds
Add fillers like mini pumpkins and mini gourds. I like to add little faux pumpkins in shades of gold and copper to keep with the warm autumnal touches.
Just a few items come together to style a simple fall table centerpiece idea on a budget. With just a few natural elements like tree branches, leaves, fall flowers, and vases, you can create an easy diy fall centerpiece that commands attention at the table.
A Table Runner or Candles add elegance to these budget friendly fall centerpieces
You can add to this look by setting a table runner beneath the tray and dotting all around with taper candles, votives, or pillar candles in festive fall colors. It will all just add a warm cozy glow to the dinner table.
If you’re looking to accent a coffee table, this centerpiece can be set down on a console or coffee table by itself to make a festive fall statement on any accent table throughout the house.
For this second simple fall table centerpiece idea, I simply used an elevated fruit tray that sits on an ornate metal base.
Pumpkin and Orange Berry Garland simple fall table centerpiece idea
I added just two other elements: a wooden pumpkin and a bit of orange berry garland.
To create this look, you can use orange berry garland branches and wrap them around almost into a nest shape.
Set the pumpkin on top of the orange berries. It’s a perfect little decoration for a festive fall look that will add a pop of fall color.
I especially like to use this idea to decorate my kitchen counters or kitchen island for the fall.
To add to the look, I actually added a few battery operated orange twinkle lights. I tucked them around the inside of the garland. In the evening, the orange lights add a soft subtle glow to the garland beneath the pumpkin.
To embellish this second look, you could tie the stem of the pumpkin with a bit of velveteen ribbon.
Use Your Favorite Kind of Pumpkins for This Fall Decor Idea
I used a carved decorative wooden pumpkin I had on hand. However, you might use any pumpkin you like. Top with faux orange pumpkins, white pumpkins, or even real pumpkins just like I did in this festive pumpkin pillars table decor!
Even a set of smaller mixed pumpkins and mini gourds would work. Tuck them nicely into the garland nest with the same twinkle lights at night.
To keep these simple fall table centerpiece ideas budget-friendly, use a mix of inexpensive little accents. Things like florals and items that you have on hand. Spice and spruce them up with any added accents you find you may need at the end.
There’s always time to add that extra little touch at the end. Once you’ve contemplated what you have and how you’d like to finish bringing it to life, you can set out to grab any new items you might be missing.
