Don’t you just love the beauty of fall?

I love sorting through my supply of fall flowers, stems, berries, and foliage to make new creations for our dining tables, foyer, coffee table, and mantel.

The best fall arrangements are the ones that are easy to create and come together in no time—that look like you’ve gathered the blooms and branches from your yard and plopped them in a vase for all to enjoy.

So, let’s get started and discover how to create beautiful fall arrangements for your home.

Tips for Simple Fall Arrangements:

There are so many ways to create beautiful centerpieces and floral arrangements for fall.

1. Choose Your Color Palette for Your Arrangement.

The first step to creating a stunning fall arrangement is to choose a color scheme. Autumn is bursting with warm hues like burnt orange, golden yellow, and deep red, perfect for a classic fall look. But don’t be afraid to think outside the box when it comes to fall color! Adding pops of blue, green, purple, or pink can create a fresh and unexpected twist for your centerpiece!

2. Choose Seasonal Blooms for a Fresh, Affordable Look

To create stunning fall arrangements without breaking the bank, opt for flowers that are in season. These blooms are not only more affordable but also look their best. 

3. Add Lots of Texture to Your Arrangements for Visual Interest

Adding texture to a fall centerpieces is one of my favorite ways to create a beautiful arrangement.

Consider adding the following textural elements to add interest to your fall centerpieces:

• Dried grasses: These add a natural, rustic touch.
• Wheat: A classic fall choice that brings warmth and texture.
• Twigs and branches: These can add height and drama to your arrangement.
• Pinecones and acorns: Incorporate these natural elements for a touch of nature.

4. Add a Pop of Color with Berries

Berries can be the perfect addition to any beautiful fall flower arrangement. Berry stems such as rose hips and bittersweet(my personal favorite) add a lovely rambling quality to your arrangements! I love to have plenty of faux bittersweet on hand to add to fall displays and centerpieces.

5. Add Natural Elements for a Rustic Fall Feel.

Add a touch of nature to your arrangements with elements like:

• Pinecones: These classic fall symbols add texture and warmth.
• Acorns: A simple yet elegant addition to any arrangement.
• Dried leaves: Gather colorful leaves from your yard and incorporate them into your design.
• Twigs and branches: These can be used to create unique and interesting shapes.

By incorporating natural elements, you can create arrangements that are both beautiful and eco-friendly.

6. Mix and Match Your Vases for a Unique Look

Add visual interest to your arrangement by mixing and matching different vases. You can use a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles, such as:

• Classic blue and white ceramics
• Simple glass vases
• Ornate metal containers
• Rustic wooden bowls

By combining different vases, you can create a one-of-a-kind centerpiece that reflects your personal style. It’s the perfect way to showcase your beautiful floral arrangement.

7. Use Fall Foliage with Your Fall Blooms.

Fall foliage is full of vibrant color, and makes a beautiful centerpiece all on its own! Integrating fall foliage with your favorite blooms is like capturing the essence of the fall season in a vase. From oak to maple, they make a beautiful arrangement every time.

There are so many realistic faux stems that look fabulous on their own or mixed with your favorite fall flowers.

8. Create Relaxed Rambling Arrangements.

For a casual vibe this autumn, opt for more relaxed arrangements rather than more formal centerpieces. Style your coffee table or mantel with a casual rambling assymetrical arrangement, adding a whimsical touch to the room.

9. Turn a Pumpkin into a Vase.

Here’s an easy fall flower arrangement idea — a pumpkin vase! It’s a fun way to display your favorite fall blooms. Create a fun Halloween centerpiece from a terracotta pumpkin or carve a fresh pumpkin and fill it with your favorite fresh fall flowers for your Thanksgiving table.

10. Delight Your Senses with Fragrant Accents

Appeal to your sense of smell when styling your fall arrangement by incorporating delightful scents such as:

• Cinnamon sticks for a warm, spicy aroma.
• Dried oranges for a citrusy freshness to your space.
• Rosemary sprigs to add fragrance and a touch of greenery.

These wonderful fall scents will not only enhance the visual appeal of your arrangement but also create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

11. Use Metallic Vases for a Warm Fall Glow.

Fall is the perfect time to showcase your flowers in a pretty metallic bowl. Vases and bowls in hammered gold, brass, or copper finishes make your autumn arrangements shine.

I love this gold hammered bowl for fall arrangments.

12. Incorporate Candles for a Cozy Look.

Candles make any centerpiece look more beautiful. Whether you use real candles or faux moving wick candles they create a cozy fall dinner table.

13. Use Dried Flowers from Your Garden.

Dried flowers, especially from your own garden, make a beautiful arrangement. I love to use the gorgeous dried hydrangeas in shades of green, blue, and rose from our garden in fall arrangements.

14. Combine Both Fresh Flowers and Faux Stems.

I love a great faux flower! They last season after season, are readily available and so many look so realistic that you can hardly tell the difference between real ones. There’s no mess, and they don’t fade. You can even combine them in arrangements with real flowers. This is a great idea for stretching your decorating dollar, or for times when a particular fresh flower or flower color is unavailable.

Are you ready to craft a beautiful centerpiece for your table? I hope these simple tips and ideas help you create gorgeous arrangements that showcase the beauty of fall!

Happy Decorating!
