AART Event Planning's Fall Inspirations: Centerpieces

Happy Fall!! If you know us, you know that Fall is our favorite time of year. In honor of Fall, we will be providing you with fall inspirations all week. We start off with one of our oldies but goodies, Fall Centerpieces.


We love fall! The beautiful colors, wonderful weather. I mean, what's not to love? As promised, we are talking about everything fall this month and we are starting off with some exceptional centerpieces!!
We start off with this unique piece. We love this. This is a great centerpiece for the one that is not only into the fall colors, but loves all the traditional decor that comes with autumn...such as pumpkins! You start with a large pumpkin in the middle thats filled with yellow and orange flowers, such as roses and calla lilies. This centerpiece even has berries added as an accent. Surround this with smaller pumpkins and candles in orange votives and you have a beautiful fall decoration. 



These next two centerpieces are becoming more popular for fall. We love the branches. Its simplistic and elegant and yet there are so many things you can do with it. Hang crystals from the branches (as in the first picture) and you have a beautiful glistening effect. Or use branches with different colored maple leaves and you have a room filled with color. The vases can be filled with round stones which is so different, beautiful orchids (and there are some great orange options out there) and even mini pumpkins, pinecones and acorns. 



This last centerpiece we found is so different and something that we are in love with. If you know us, then you know we love pictures (enter Rachael's beautiful picture card box that she had at her wedding!). What a great way to show a couple in love by having pictures shown throughout the room. Here a square glass vase is used and a picture of the couple have been placed on each side. Fill it with the flowers of your choice and you have a beautiful centerpiece. Now since we love this so much, why not take it a step further? This can also be used as the bottom piece of the centerpiece and have branches coming out from the middle, or another ball of flowers at top for a topiary look. Anything can be done with this particular style. You can also use this at any event: child's 1st birthday party with pictures of them throughout their first year, or how about a baby shower and the pictures are of the parents to be when they were babies? The options are endless!! (Can you tell that this is one of our favorite centerpieces!)


We hope you have found some inspiration for your next event. We would love to see the pictures! Now if you liked the first pumpkin centerpiece, you'll love this one! We love this idea for any event happening towards the end of October. As with the picture above, your main piece is the large pumpkin. Instead of filling it with flowers, it is carved like a traditional halloween pumpkin would be. This one is carved with the letter "B" but how cute would it be with the couples monogram? Place a candle inside and surround it with your favorite fall pieces and your all set! 

XOXO,
Aelicia & Rachael
