I love this idea of using large candle holders with vanilla-scented candles and lots of acorns layered around the candle for a warm hue. It adds a cozy element to any room or table with its rich color.

Autumn Decoration: Harvest Planter
I love this idea to use the summertime flower garden window planters for fall harvest bounty. It would also be great to put these items in a basket or wooden bowl on tables for centerpieces!
Harvest Planter
From Martha Stewart:
When cold weather arrives, gourds, winter squash, Indian corn, and small pumpkins can fill the planters that once overflowed with flowering annuals.
Natural Autumn Decor
From The Finer Things:
Decorating your entertaining space for Thanksgiving or another autumn event can be as easy and inexpensive as walking out to your yard and gathering a variety of natural accents. Here are a few of my favorite natural decor ideas from around the Web:
Pine Cone Ribbon Wreath - Country Living
Birch Branch Centerpiece - KurtCYR
Acorn Filled Hurricanes
Pink Roses & Teacups
Fall Cupcake Stand Setup
September in NJ brings cooler weather and lots of weddings. This weekend we created 120 orange velvet cupcakes with vanilla buttercream for a wedding reception at the Chart House in Weehawken, NJ.
Fall Cupcakes and Cake Topper
Along with the cupcakes we created a topper cake decorated in ivory pearl fondant with a light brown ribbon around the middle with a gold sparkly brooch in the center. We used natural toned orange roses on the top of the cake with lime green hypericum berries. To complete the package, the bride and groom rented our medium cupcake stand to display the topper cake and cupcakes.

Autumn is such a gorgeous and magical time. It has always been my favorite time of year with the crisp air, the smell of woodstoves, the crunch of leaves under my feet and the smell of harvest enveloping me like a soft blanket.

Autumn Wedding: Copper and Plum
While silver and gold metallics have been in style now for a few years, the more rustic but still polished copper is just starting to see a rise in popularity. This warmer, more subdued tone is perfect for an early autumnal wedding and looks positively regal when paired with a dusky shade of plum.

Autumn Harvest Centerpiece
From: Martha Stewart Weddings
A table arrangement of grains celebrates the bounty of fall. In addition to wheat, which symbolizes a fruitful life, this textured display includes other dried grasses (available at crafts stores), so it can be made weeks ahead. The final flourish? A luxurious satin bow.

Centerpiece How-To
To make each centerpiece, you’ll need about a hundred stalks (six bunches) of dried grass and wheat.
1. Bundle 15 or so stems together at a time (they’re easiest to handle if you secure bundles with floral tape about 4 inches below grain pods).
2. Hold between thumb and forefinger at an angle. Add bundles, in a spiral as shown, until all are used.

3. Wrap with floral tape (choose a color that matches your ribbon). Trim ends with floral pruner (cut center tips shorter for a stable base). Tie a wide ribbon over tape.

Tool for the Task: Colored Floral Tape
This handy tape, which becomes sticky only when you stretch it, and then adheres only to itself, is now widely available in a variety of shades. That means it blends beautifully into boutonnieres, bouquets, and centerpieces such as this one.

Amazingly realistic oak leaves on a beautifully elegant fall cake.
Leaves and acorns adorn this fall themed wedding cake delivered locally to the Heritage Grill in Denville. The bottom tier is chocolate cake with hazelnut filling, the middle red velvet with cream cheese and the top vanilla with chocolate filling.

Fall Wedding Cake – Acorns and Leaves
I am all about autumn-themed wedding cakes lately. If they are done well, they are simply gorgeous.
This 3 tier wedding cake is filled with Oreos and cream and covered in chocolate buttercream. The leaves and acorns are made out of gumpaste.

Scattering of Leaves
From: Martha Stewart Weddings
I love this idea for fall events. This can be used for a flower girl or a table centerpiece in lieu of bouquets.
As a fitting nod to the season, substitute dried leaves for petals in your flower girl’s basket. If fall foliage isn’t abundant when you wed, you can order pressed leaves online (from drynature.com). We lined this pint-size basket with a cotton fabric. Using scissors, cut a large round of fabric and a slit on opposite sides to accommodate handles, then place in basket. Wrap silk ribbon around, and tie in a bow.
