5 Minute Fall Table Setting

I love a little surprise & it doesn’t always have to come in the form of a gift. A little unexpected pop of color or incorporating something that isn’t typical makes a room, an outfit or a table more interesting. Orange is an expected fall color, but you don’t often find the fruit in fall decorations. This table setting was inspired by the potpourri I made last fall. It was simple, all natural & the most beautiful color palette. In fact, it would make an incredible take home favor.
I rarely invest more than $10 in my table settings & this table is no exception. I always have both pillar candles & tapers on hand. I had the girls collect pine cones in our yard, purchased oranges & a bag of clementines. I also found a wispy little floral stem at my grocery store for $1 – it offered more than enough to work with & seeded eucalyptus. This, like my 5 minute centerpiece is edible, creating less waste. Create your own sprawling 5 minute fall table setting in just a few easy steps!
Supplies:
- oranges
- clementines
- pine cones
- candles {I used a mix of votives & pillars}
- 1 flower stem
- eucalyptus
5 Minute Fall Table Setting Tutorial:
- make a runner with candles
- add a few pinecones next to the candles, alternating their direction as needed
- tuck in snips of eucalyptus & floral stems – especially at the ends
- add oranges & clementines
Don’t be afraid to get creative – you really can’t go wrong!
For place cards, I printed our names on fabric & pulled strings to fray the edges. They pinned easily into clementines that I adorned with eucalyptus leaves & buds from the flower stem I used in the floral table runner. It makes each place setting feel personal in under 5 minutes {for the entire table!} To print on fabric, use my method or the new printable fabric sheets I discovered at Hobby Lobby.
I love how the rustic “table runner” frames each place setting, don’t you?
