Neutral Fall Centerpiece

Although I love the vibrant orange and red colors of fall, they don’t really coordinate with the rest of my home decor. That’s why I’m drawn to this neutral centerpiece from @ivorydfm.

The bouquet features amaranth, pampas grass, bleached ruscus, palm branches and a mixture of dried flowers. The different heights and textures make for a stunning arrangement.

Pastel Rainbow Pumpkins

This sweet table of pastel pumpkins by @tilda_loves_teddy stopped me in my tracks while I scrolled Instagram.

The long pile of pumpkins running down the middle of the table would work great for a Halloween party, but I also can see displaying this as part of my everyday Halloween decor. You can snag pastel pumpkins from her Etsy shop, or paint your own.

Dollar Store Fall Centerpiece

Can you believe this fall centerpiece by @eaternallyfresh was made with items from the dollar store?

To make your own, grab mini pumpkins and faux leaves from the dollar store, then throw in a few pine cones from your yard or nearby. Arranging the inexpensive items on a stylish pedestal bowl elevates them, and some of the pumpkins are painted gold for a little glimmer.

Cheerful Halloween Centerpiece

This cheerful Halloween centerpiece from @my.simple.little.home works well for your kitchen island.

Start with a wooden tray and drape some spooky fabric across the top for texture. Then add a vase (or pitcher) of black branches, a jar for yummy treats and a third Halloween item like the stack of pumpkin mugs seen here. Using three items in varying heights easily creates a balanced centerpiece.

Jack-O-Lantern Flowers

I find it so charming when I see pink in Halloween decor. This bouquet of pink flowers in a white jack-o-lantern by Sharon Theresa Pinto Hess of @corbelcottage is such a simple idea, but creates a beautiful and unique centerpiece.

To make your own, start with this metal jack-o-lantern, paint it white, then insert a clear vase to hold the flowers.

Fall Branches

Of course, some of the most beautiful fall centerpieces are the simplest. This vase filled with live copper beech branches makes a stunning statement. You can purchase these branches from Etsy shop @GardenMisc.

Faux branches work well, too, and you can reuse them year after year. Or simply gather orange branches outdoors if you’re lucky enough to find them near you.

@cherishlarsen Here is Spooky, fun, yet “pretty” decor idea for Halloween! DIY spiderweb vase/arrangement. I was so happy how this turned out lol! It’s so easy and didn’t take much time. All you need is a glass vase, a sharpie, hot glue, and some spray paint! 🕷 Colors used Krylon brand “Flat Black” and Krylon brand “Gloss Sealer”. Shop my products from this post in my LTK profile!

Gothic Fall Centerpiece

How about a spooky yet elegant fall centerpiece? That’s exactly what @cherishlarsen creates here, including a clever DIY vase.

Watch as she draws spider webs on a glass vase, covers the design with a hot glue gun to add dimension, then spray paints the whole thing black. Add some dark florals, and finish the look with tapered candles and skeleton figurines.

Halloween Candy Centerpiece

Watch as @ourwintonhome makes a cute fall centerpiece with Halloween candy!

She lines a glass vase with layers of candy corn and ghost and pumpkin marshmallows. The smaller inside vase holds fall branches. She surrounds the vase with a couple of jack-o-lanterns, candles and twinkle lights, and it’s finished. It makes a cute yet sophisticated centerpiece for your kitchen island or table.

Dried Beans Centerpiece

Here’s an inexpensive idea from @asimplystylednest using dried beans.

Start with several glass hurricane candleholders in different sizes. Fill them with the dried beans in varying colors, then set the candles on top. Display the candleholders on a tray with a few mini pumpkins. Who knew beans could look so elegant?
