Ideas for Fall Wedding Centerpieces

There's no doubt that fall is a beautiful season. If you're planning a fall wedding, then you're probably up to your ears in all the various details. One detail you don't want to forget is your table centerpieces. The fall season is a great time to come up with creative and beautiful centerpieces.

Natural Centerpieces: One great idea for your fall wedding centerpieces is to utilize natural items that are a part of the fall season, like gourds, pumpkins and leaves. One simple centerpiece involves arranging miniature decorative pumpkins and gourds in an attractive wooden bowl or rustic basket. For extra glitz, try painting the gourds and pumpkins with gold enamel.

Get Creative with Candles: If you want candles to be a part of your fall wedding centerpiece, then try turning mini pumpkins or gourds into candle holders by hollowing out the center and making an area in which candles of your preferred size can securely sit. Or, go for an elegant floating candle centerpiece. Fill a large crystal or glass bowl with clean water, then add floating candles. Try floating candles crafted in the shape of autumn leaves for great fall flair. Still another idea is using a hurricane lamp surrounded with fall fruit or flowers as your table centerpiece.

Use Fruits: Another great aspect of fall wedding centerpieces is the use of fruit. Bunches of purple and green grapes in a decorative container are always beautiful. Or, go with a cornucopia filled to the brim with faux fall fruit. For a fruit themed fall centerpiece that also utilizes flowers, hollow out a pumpkin in the size of your choice, make sure it's clean, add floral foam then create a fall floral arrangement using the pumpkin as a makeshift vase.

Seasonal Flowers: Speaking of flowers, there are lots of beautiful fall blooms for your wedding centerpiece. Create arrangements out of different colored mums, daisies, lilies, tropical hibiscus, sunflowers, wheat stalks, and boughs of flame colored autumn foliage. Adorn your flower vases with decorative ribbon that match your fall wedding colors.

Harmony: When you're thinking about what you want your fall wedding centerpieces to be, take into consideration the remainder of your decorations -- what colors they are, how formal they are, and how your centerpieces will fit in with the look and feel of the rest of your wedding details. The right centerpiece helps pull your fall themed wedding together and adds beauty to any table.
