    Natural Fall Centerpiece and Table Decoration Ideas

    by Patti Estep · Oct 28, 2019

    This natural fall centerpiece is a perfect example of using the beauty of nature to create a charming tablescape with little effort.

    Natural fall centerpiece table

    Sometimes simple is best. And just about anything from nature is so beautiful, I love to use it whenever I can. 

    Often you can find natural elements to use in your decor from your own backyard or on a friend's or family member's property.

    Tracing top of apple for tealight

    Even if you end up purchasing items they are usually very inexpensive. Yes, it's true that most won't keep for long, but how much stuff do you already have somewhere stored away that you don't use.

    Lemon juice in apple

    These little apples were perfect to make into little votive holders.

    How to Make Apple Tealights

    • Trace the votive on top
    • Use a small paring knife to cut out the flesh.
    • Squeeze plenty of lemon juice inside to delay browning
    • Cut deep enough to seat the candle well inside

    Real apple tealight

    FYI the apples looked nice for a good week to ten days. So if you are having a party or get together this is one thing you can do days ahead of time.

    Transparency film around candles

    Make an easy border with transparency paper to wrap around a set of basic candles. Any clear plastic will do. This one is 3 inches wide. Just enough to cover the shortest candle and leave a little room if you decide to burn the candles. 

    Pressed fall leaves on transparency paper

    Fall leaves are so beautiful. Each fall I gather some to press. However, you can also purchase pressed fall leaves. Use a little bit of double stick tape to adhere the leaves to the transparency strip, making sure to cover tape used to make the border.

    Fall table setting with pyracantha berries

    Some bright orange pyracantha berries tied with a bit of twine adds a nice fall touch.

    These berries don't last long, so this one you will want to add the day before.

    More pressed leaves and sprigs of pyracantha are scattered on a burlap runner. 

    You could also use bittersweet vine or branches from crabapple trees.

    Simple, easy, natural and beautiful.

      Love the simplicity of your tablescape, Patti! The apples as candle holders add the perfect fall touch! Genius idea! Thank you for reminding me about bittersweet! It is one of my favorites for fall decorating!

      Well you know I love simple and this is perfect. I believe less on the table makes a grand presentation and it doesn't over stimulate. This is so pretty and since I've been on an apple kick lately - my new favorite fall snack - it's very inviting. What time is dinner?

        Thanks Carole. One of the reasons I like to keep it simple is that its easier to talk and see each other. Also, dinner starts whenever you get here. 😉
