Re: Fall centerpieces
The many colors, scents and tastes of autumn can make for a beautiful fall-themed wedding. Here are some fall centerpieces to dress your tables:
** Cornucopia Table Decor:
You'll need: 1 24-inch wicker cornucopia 4-5 pieces of mini corn 4-5 acorns Fall fruits and vegetables Multi-colored leaves Adhesive
Lay a bed inside the cornucopia with some of the leaves (you may use silk leaves if you plan to make the centerpieces ahead of time.) Fill the cornucopia with your fall goodies, and attach them with adhesive if necessary. Glue the remaining leaves onto the outside of your cornucopia, arranged esthetically. Note: if you can't find a wicker cornucopia, you may opt for a simple wicker basket for a similar look.
** Bowl of Goodies Decoration:
You'll need: 1 Ceramic or glass bowl (appr. 6-10 inches in diameter) 6-7 pieces of fall fruit (apples, pears, etc.) 1 fall garland 1 large pillar candle (autumn colors) 1 piece of floral foam Adhesive
Place and secure the candle onto the center of the bowl (you may need to use a piece of floral foam to fill the bottom of the dish, as needed.) Arrange the fruits around the candle. You may choose to buy plastic fruits if you plan to make the centerpieces ahead of time. Finally, wrap the garland around the bowl, and secure with adhesive as desired.
** Filled Wreath Centerpiece:
You'll need: 1 large wreath (preferably natural) 2-3 acorns 2-3 small pumpkins Various fall flowers (fresh or silk) Adhesive
Arrange and secure the fall goodies onto the wreath as desired. If needed, use a glue gun to be sure the pieces will not fall off.
** Autumn Floating Candles:
You'll need: 1 large glass bowl 1 bag decorative stones or pebbles 2-3 floating candles in fall colors 1 plastic ring for floral wreaths (containing floral foam)--be sure the wreath fits the bottom of the bowl! Fall silk flowers in a variety of colors
Arrange the flowers onto the wreath as desired. Take good care to secure each flower onto the floral foam to avoid gaps (use adhesive if you have to.) Place the pebbles at the bottom of your bowl. Fill the bowl halfway with water, then place the floating candles inside. Wrap the wreath around your bowl for a delightful centerpiece.
I don't have any pics but i'm getting married the same day only this year and doing fall all the way!! What i'm doing is i found ceramic pumpkins filled with berries and leaves (looks much better then it sounds) anyway at white barn candle co in sept they called other stores got them for me and that is what i'm using for my centerpieces and i'm putting leaves and candles on the tables aswell. Good luck and congrats!!!!!

Re: Fall centerpieces
once upon a time i considered a fall wedding (now its a summer date!) so I saved a lot of fall pics (most of which I found here)
One of my friends got married last fall (at the watermill) and used a pumpkin instead of a vase with all fall colors on the flowers it was def. the most beautiful centerpiece I've ever seen.

I was thinking about doing this too, but I was worried about staining the table clothes. The table clothes at my hall are really fancy and Im afraid the BM would flip when he saw the pumkins - what do you think I could put underneath them? I was thinking flowers like this but in a pumkin and then I have cast iron votive candle holdeers in the shapes of fall leaves to place around the CP
D&J-- I really like the first 2- I'm also looking for fall, but not pumpkins & leaves, b/c its early fall. Do you know what the flowers in the first one are?
