A fresh pumpkin table runner that is simple, and so easy to put together you'll be done in five minutes.

These pretty little mini pumpkins are usually available in the produce section of your local market. The girls love having mini pumpkins in their rooms and often decorate them, which would make a fun Thanksgiving after dinner activity before they are tossed in favor of Christmas decor.

If you don’t see eucalyptus at your grocery store floral department, just ask. These pretty stems are often kept in their cooler for making flower arrangements since it’s considered greenery along with the hypericum berries.

You can almost always find beautiful branches in your own backyard. We have a few crab apple trees that offer rustic branches with a pop of color, but you can use any branch to recreate this everyday centerpiece.

For fall, I highly recommend anything with “berries” or those with changing colors. Either will create a memorable, everyday centerpiece that you can enjoy for weeks. The beauty of fall is that they only look more rustic and beautiful as they dry.

There’s something beautiful about picking from your own backyard rather than spending a fortune on flowers, it feels easy and thoughtful.

This recipe for fall flowers is slightly different than my others – it might take a few more minutes {10 in all} but it can be made with items from home and the store.

Bonus for being edible, right? You know how I love infusing function to eliminate waste!

I put together another simple centerpiece, with candles, some inexpensive eucalyptus, and plumcots, but any fruits and foraged finds will do!

In fact, as we were driving around the cove, I spotted very similar leaves. Olive branches would be beautiful as well, but, they’re not accessible in the midwest.

I think I spent $6 and of course, it took about five minutes to create. Ready?

I always adore big, beautiful centerpieces that take center stage, but when I’m hosting guests, I like them to take center stage. A significant piece in the middle of the table blocks your view of each another and conversation becomes and awkward game of peek-a-boo.

You may have noticed that I tend to lean toward low lying centerpiece.

Low lying centerpieces are not only great for conversation, but can also be very budget friendly. Smaller groupings of arrangements are often less expensive to make than one large centerpiece

However, that doesn’t mean you can’t have a little height. I love using taper candles at varying heights to draw the eye up and fill the space.

One of my most popular centerpieces ever, this apple table runner is a classic and so easy to create.

• apples
• cheesecloth {found at the grocery store}
• bunch of seeded eucalyptus

For this fall table setting, I wanted to incorporate a little of that effortless fall style integrating kale and wildflowers {also available at select grocery stores}.

I love fruit for fall and Thanksgiving centerpieces! It's a centerpiece that will last for days and won't go to waste!

I’m often scurrying before guests arrive and don’t always have the opportunity to run to the store to pick up flowers and groceries. More often than not, I’m working with what I have.

I managed to make a quick trip to the store into inspiration for this centerpiece! I bought a few things, including a bag of apples, a bag of pears and a $2.99 bunch of eucalyptus. I LOVE gorgeous flower arrangements, but to get anything substantial, it’s often expensive, and doesn’t last long.

This centerpiece cost less than $10. A floral centerpiece of it’s size would cost $50-100 to create. An edible centerpiece makes a statement when your guests arrive, but also allows guests to help themselves for breakfast or a snack! Even better, you can create one in less than 5 minutes. Yes, a colorful fall centerpiece is 5 minutes.

Pine cones, pillar candles, clementines and touches of greenery. This is a bright fragrant centerpiece not to be missed!

Orange is an expected fall color, but you don’t often find the fruit in fall decorations. This table setting was simple, all natural and the most beautiful color palette.

Why not set the kids' table with a charming place setting of their own?

You always hear about the dreaded Thanksgiving kids’ table, but I like to make it special, too! I want to create a table that any adult would be honored to sit at, but make it so special that kids would proudly say “this table is just for us!”

Thanksgiving is a wonderful opportunity to teach our children about being thankful. Despite having a separate dining table for them {for ease of space and accessible height}, I want them to feel included.

This easy last-minute Thanksgiving centerpiece can be created in just 5 minutes, with a trip to the grocery store. You'll just need a platter, pears, and pillar candles with touches of greenery.

I put together another simple centerpiece, with candles, some inexpensive eucalyptus, and plumcots, but any fruits and foraged finds will do, in fact, as we were driving around the cove, I spotted very similar leaves.

Another centerpiece idea featuring pears, pine cones and antlers in a pretty brass bowl.

One problem I have faced when creating centerpieces is keeping the cost to a minimum. It’s easy to create a breathtaking centerpiece with $100+ of blooms, but I can’t justify that for dinner.

When we’re having guests, I want to make our table feel special, especially for Thanksgiving! To create a homemade Thanksgiving centerpiece, I start by gathering. The first resource I look to is our home. What can I use that I already have? Last year, I found a beautiful brass pedestal bowl on Etsy.
