- Turn wine glasses into votive holders!
- Carve pumpkins and gourds with paisley designs rather than faces. Group into a wicker basket at entries, line up as table center pieces.
- Use mum plants in copper, terracotta, or rich ceramic holders. Add ribbon and tall branches for a more decorative look.
- Use apples and pears as candle holders.
- Fill glass containers with natural items ...seed pods, dried berries... use your surroundings to guide you.
- Use a large pumpkin - carve just the insides out - as a drink holder for a festive party.
- Leaves also make great place-mats. Use - selectively - under candles, plates, around a fall picture on the wall, and as a base for centerpieces.
- Hang grapevine wreaths with dried or real flowers on doors, benches, coat stands, and even from shutters!
- Place real or flame less candles in glass hurricanes. Use rich hues of burnt orange, deep sage, yellow-orange. Add seed balls, dried leaves, pine cones and other natural findings.
- Use swags of greens on mantles, table tops and long counters with votive candles in glass holders tucked throughout.
