Decorating Tips for a Fabulous Fall Table

1) Warm wood tones are perfect for fall decor-- show off your wood table by using a runner instead of a tablecloth.

2) Wrap greenery or a garland of fall leaves or berries around a candle centerpiece.

3) Tuck mini pumpkins, gourds, nuts, acorns, or pomegranates into your fall garland for added interest, color and texture.

4) Keep the centerpiece low so people at the table can converse easily. Use short pillar candles, votives and low, short vases of flowers instead of taller candles and vases.

5) Do use candles-- warm candlelight will make any event feel more festive.

6) Use fall colors in the place settings: for example: brown leather placemats and cloth napkins, terracotta-colored ceramic plates, and green glass water goblets.

7) Include a mini pumpkin nestled in some fall leaves at each place setting. Guests can take the pumpkins home as favors.
