18-inch grapevine wreath
Preserved red sycamore leaves
Preserved plume reed grass
Dried ornamental oregano
Pinecones (we used artificial ones on florist picks from a local crafts store)
Dried phalaris grass dyed a berry wine shade
How to Assemble

Pumpkin Flower Centerpiece

Fall Harvest Centerpiece
Don’t overlook the produce section when searching for materials to incorporate into an eye-catching centerpiece. Radishes, Brussels sprouts, artichokes, and purple cabbage combine with blooming fall flowers to create a vibrant violet-and-green arrangement.
Mumkin Container
Two fall favorites come together to create your next outdoor container: mums and pumpkins. Carve a pumpkin with an opening large enough to comfortably fit a potted mum. After removing the pumpkin guts (don’t forget to save the seeds), place the mum inside for a colorful fall container.
Pumpkin Votives
Design a glowing display fit for fall entertaining by using pumpkin votives. Using mini orange pumpkins, carve a hole large enough to comfortably fit a candle. Place a tea light inside. Float the votives in water, or arrange them on the dining table.
Pumpkin Topiary
White pumpkins add to the elegance of this three-tier topiary. Artichokes, succulents, and pepper plants add pops of bright color.
Fall Pumpkin Tableau
Welcome the arrival of fall in your foyer with a sprawling seasonal tableau. Begin with a striking focal point (we filled a glass vase with branches of fall leaves), and build out the display from there. Use gourds of varying color, size, and texture. Fill glass cloches with bleached pinecones or a stack of smaller gourds. A potted plant adds another element of intrigue; place smaller gourds and fall leaves around the larger pieces.
