Creating Autumn

This easy-to-make arrangement is the center of attraction in this traditional dining room. Here's all you need: 3 hurricanes with candles, set of three plates to set candles on, stems of fall foliage and berries, small pumpkins and gourds, and large pine cones (from the yard). First, I lined up the hurricanes down the center of the table. Then place the stems of leaves and berries all around. Finally, I tucked in the pine cones and gourds. It was that easy!

Fall colored pottery made a perfect back drop for these stems of berries and leaves. I simply arranged the pottery in a triangle-like pattern, then filled one of the jars with fall berries. I used ready-made fall picks and tucked them in between the pottery. Be sure to use natural-looking picks that are full and colorful for a realistic look.

Coffee tables are the center of attention in the family room and a great place to add a touch of fall. By simply changing the candles to a burnt orange and popping in some fall blooms in the arrangement, I created a beautiful burst of autumn! I love that the birds look like they are nesting in a a bunch of fall leaves: it's a fun touch!
Welcome to Autumn!
