Autumn Centerpieces to Complete Your Fall Feast

Maybe they used to be novelties, but now white pumpkins have become so popular you can find them just about anywhere. They're a smart choice because they work with any color scheme and make a big statement without much effort. For this planter, we cut the stem and top off a large pumpkin with a low profile, removed the pulp, and filled it with dirt. Then we planted it with assorted succulents and softened the rim with a little moss. Go with inexpensive plants of varying heights and textures for arrangements that are easy but intriguing. A mini orange pumpkin brings a bright pop of color, while dried white bunny tails add height. 

Choose a few squash or gourds in interesting shapes, all roughly the same size (we used two butternut and one
acorn squash). For a more eye-catching display, choose three or five gourds rather than an even number. Cut off the tops, and clean out the pulp. Here's the secret: Place a glass inside, and fill it with water to hold your flowers. Keeping water off the squash will help it last longer. Then fill these bud vases with seasonal flowers, foliage, and berries. For our arrangements, we used pepperberry for some softness; orange ranunculus, which looks like a rose but has a small scale that works better for these vases; and seeded eucalyptus as a trailer and filler. Group on a table or in a windowsill for captivating color. 

This rustic look is so visually striking. Take your best apple bobbing metal tin and fill it with water, fall leaves, and pumpkin candles.

Instead of the traditional horn-shaped basket, choose a wooden dough bowl for the base, with felt beneath it and waterproof florist foil lining it. Use florist foam to make a flat surface on top of the foil. Add various fruits and vegetables: pumpkins, gourds, and squash along with persimmons, apples, Brussels sprouts, and small carrots. To anchor your arrangement, create a loose S shape with deep-pink spray roses in the center, and then asymmetrically balance fruits and veggies on either side of it. Fill in with mums, rose hips, bittersweet, and silver brunia. Place the stems of all the fresh flowers in filled water picks before inserting them into the florist foam.

Pick a pumpkin with an attractive stem. Cut off the top, and set it aside. Then clean out the pulp. Soak florist foam in water, and place it inside the pumpkin, leaving just a few inches between the top surface of the foam and the rim. Insert flowers, foliage, and berry stems directly into the foam, working all around the perimeter of your pumpkin. We chose a mix of
spray roses, spider mums, anemones, scabiosas, blue thistles, green chinaberries, bittersweet, and ferns. Use florist picks to reattach the top at an angle. After attaching the topper, fill in any empty spots with flowers and foliage, varying the depths for extra
interest.
