I love having something pretty on our kitchen table and I also love for it to be quick and simple to put together. At our house, our centerpiece also needs to be easy to move because our kitchen table gets a lot of use. Today, I’m showing you my simple and prettyĀ fallĀ centerpieceĀ idea.
I’d love to show you how I put this together and give you a tip or two on how to quickly add a little bit of Halloween to this centerpiece as well.Ā
To make this simple centerpiece, start with a large platter or other base on which you want to build your centerpiece.
This is really important, place your candle on the plate first! Then place your filler (popcorn kernels in this case). Building your centerpiece in this order will keep the candles from tipping over and being uneven with popcorn kernels underneath them.
The popcorn kernels are a perfect inexpensive fall filler. You may notice that this seems very similar to the fall apothecary jars I showed you earlier this week. They sit in the same room, so it works well to have a similar theme.
Next add your pretty items. I added the glitterized apples/pears I made and show you how to make as well.
I also added a few pumpkin and acorns I got in a package in the dollar spot at target. They were packaged as sugar pumpkins.
My family was sitting at the table while I was putting this together. They felt like it still needed a little something. I added a pine cone or two to complete the look.
The centerpiece looks so pretty on our table and so pretty all lit up.
While we love the look of the centerpiece just by itself, we wanted to add a little something Halloween to the table. We added the same feather boa we used in last years Fall/Halloween centerpiece. We also added the glass etched wine bottlesĀ I showed you how to make last year as well. They still had the red drippings on them from our using them last year. Perfect!
Gorgeous and simple…love it!
After Halloween, I will likely change out the wine bottles to the leaf ones I made last year and add some artificial leaves under the plate much like last year because it is just so pretty. You can see that here:Ā Thanksgiving/Fall Centerpiece.
How do you like to decorate your table? Do you change your decor from Halloween to fall?
How absolutely beautiful!
Thank you!
Pretty!
Thanks!
This is really cute, would look great with some moss as well, or you can transition it to Christmas with the addition of some pretty pinecones and poinsettas! Cute!
Yes, that is a great idea! It would be really easy to transition it to another season/holiday.

Your simple centerpiece is so pretty. I love that is not fussy in any way and is easy on the wallet. We’d love to have you link it up to our All Things Thursday Blog Hop when you get a chance! Have a wonderful week!

Thanks so much! I love things that are not fussy and are easy on the wallet…they work really well for me and my budget. Thanks for popping by.

Yep. I love this idea too! The cool thing is when this season is over, you can easily put those items away and move on to the next season. Very lovely!
Yes, I love it when things are simple. If I didn’t have kids and a cat and sanitary issues….I’d just pop the kernels and have a great big popcorn festival. I LOVE popcorn!

So pretty – love the popcorn!
Thanks! I think popcorn is such a pretty fall decoration filler. I only wish I could pop it and eat it, too. Yum! lol!

The corn was such a great idea! I love how original that is and I love the texture it adds! It would be awesome if you would link your centerpiece up to my kind of new link party – https://www.dreamalittlebigger.com/post/link-party-9.html Hope to see you there!
Thank you!

I adore it’s simplicity! So pretty and rustic! Perfect for Fall š
Thank you! I love simplicity. I always aspire to do more and have those pretty spreads you see in magazines, but they just aren’t practical around my house. Thanks for stopping by.
