Every year I host a huge Thanksgiving dinner for the entire family at my home. That means I have to come up with cute fall centerpieces for my table. One thing I’ve learned over the years is easy centerpieces are my thing. I want them to come together quickly but still look nice. Last year, when I made my simple, elegant Christmas Centerpiece, I discovered Beatriz Ball handmade Metal Wear, I found the perfect base for my creations. This year I am using one of their new pieces, the Pedestal Organic Pear Nova decorative silver platter, for the fall and Christmas centerpieces in my dining room.
I started with a fall inspired vine, a package of cloth fall leaves, four pumpkins (I used fake pumpkins so they can be reused year after year, but real pumpkins or squash would be lovely too), and two orange nonflammable led lights. This centerpiece took all of five minutes to put together. I began by arranging my vine on the pedestal and covering it with the cloth leaves so none of the string was showing. I arranged the pumpkins on top of the leaves and added the led tea lights to the center.
I had planned to place a clear vase with an orange pillar candle inside in the center of the pedestal, but then realized it might be hard to see over for conversation. I still believe it would be a great addition to a buffet table. This pedestal is so versatile that I plan to use it to make centerpieces for all occasions. The pieces of the Beatrix Ball collection are made by hand, one piece at a time, using the same casting method used by Romans and Greeks to create masterpieces. Molten aluminum alloy is poured into individual sand molds, and hand polished to a deep lustrous finish.
Stay tuned to see my Christmas centerpiece I’ll be making around the holidays! What is your must have item for you holiday table?
That is so colorful, we are moving at the end of the month so I have done ZERO decorating, the house will be furnished so will not have to many options.
Perfect centerpiece for the season. My must-have for any fall table is multi colored gourds. They just make the decor fun.
That is an adorable decoration. Simple and easy.
This is a beautiful centerpiece for any Thanksgiving table. It’s so simple and elegant and really adds a touch of class to the table.
What a great idea! I really love how it’s not over the top, but still has plenty of fall.
This turned out great! Would love amazing on the head table at thanksgiving!
I really like that! Fall is our favorite time of year! So many pretty colors to use for stuff like this!
That is really cute! I love fall decorating!
What a beautiful centerpiece. I will have to admit that I never would have thought to put a pedastal on a table thanks for the tip. I think I have the inspiration for my next project.
I usually host Thanksgiving dinner at our home too. Luckily, everyone that attends contributes a dish so I don’t get stuck having to prepare the entire dinner.
That’s really cute and creative. I love decorating for fall.
That is so pretty! I love that you can use fake or real pumpkins. I have some real ones that would work great, even though it will only last this fall.
This is a gorgeous centerpiece. You are right about it having to be the perfect height. We are mostly petite in my family, so it helps when we can see each other at the table.
That is so super cute! I am trying to think of a centerpiece to make myself 🙂
Oh how pretty! Nice and easy center piece. I will do this , this year.
Came out great! I would totally do the battery candles because of my kids 🙂
You created a lovely fall centerpiece. I can’t believe the pumpkins and leaves are faux because they look so real. The pedestal stand is perfect for your creative table display.
That really is nice. You’re right too, it’s a nice height size that won’t interfere with conversations!
Love how simple and elegant this looks! Perfect for my farmers table!
This is really pretty! I love that its not too complicated but makes a huge statement!
This is simple but great. I love the soft glow lit centerpieces put off in the evenings.
Its definitely Fall Season Hello October. I am actually lowkey sad about it, but cute pumpkin decor!
This is really cute – the small candle lights are so nice for so many projects
That is such a wonderful center pieces. Definitely would be perfect for a Fall tablescape
That turned out so cute! It would be perfect on the table at Thanksgiving.
I love that this is something that is DIY and affordable! I can even get these items at the grocery store!
Beautiful centerpiece, the colors really pop against the base. This season is so beautiful.
That is so pretty. I just love fall decorating. I have to stop myself before overdoing it.
That is so beautiful, I absolutely adore the colours of autumn all the reds and oranges. x
I love using pumpkins, gourds, squash of all shapes & sizes for our fall centerpiece. I do LOVE how you added the tea lights which are much more safe when you have pets!
This looks great. I like the battery powered candles. They are a great way to add the look of a candle without the hazard of a open flame.
Such a nice centerpiece. Thankfully I get to eat at someone else’s house so I haven’t had to worry about decorating for the holidays.
Sometimes a simple touch is all that is needed!
Just beautiful! I love the simplicity of this centerpiece. I could do this!
They look so pretty! I just bought a variety of pumpkins and gourds to use for decoration.
The mercury stand is beautiful. And, it looks easy to replicate! Thanks for the idea
This is such a great idea. I love the fall colors.
That is so pretty and so simple. Fall decorations are the best!
I don’t really have a centerpiece for my table. We just decorate with whatever crafts we make at the time. What I like about your centerpiece is that I saw a lot of the pieces at the Dollar Tree.
This turned out so great! I have similar items and could definitely pull something off for our table. I normally decorate with various ceramic pieces around the house, but I haven’t decorated for fall yet!
I want that in my kitchen so pretty. Off to see if I can make one.
I am not good at DIY decorations but you’ve made this easy. And it looks cost efficient and you can change it out.
What a cute centerpiece! I could do this!
Love this! Looks great and would be perfect on my table! I think I’m going to definitely try this.
This came out great. I love how easy it is to make something that looks so beautiful. This is a must try!
Beautiful centrepieces. That is so pretty. It looks simple enough that even I could do it.
This is the perfect fall centerpiece. Fall is my favorite season for decorating.
It’s my favorite season to decorate for, too!! I love it all.
That came out great and would be perfect on my table at Thanksgiving. I love it.
