13 Exquisite Early Fall Centerpieces and Tables
As the summer heat begins to wane and the first hints of autumn fill the air, it’s time to embrace the cozy charm of early fall. One of the best ways to welcome the season is by creating exquisite early fall centerpieces and tables that capture the essence of this transitional time.
We want to be ready for early fall with pretty tablescapes.
In this post, I’m sharing 13 enchanting early fall centerpieces and table settings that will inspire you to bring the warmth and beauty of the season into your home.
Whether you’re hosting a casual family dinner or planning an elegant gathering with friends, these ideas will help you set the perfect table. Or maybe you just like to set your dining room or breakfast table to have the colors and patterns of fall in your home.
Many of these centerpieces can be styled using fall decoractions you already have on hand. Your own backyard is another wonderful resource for styling an early fall table.
You will find a wide variety of styles, materials, and colors in these 13 fall centerpieces and tablespaces.
One of the most compelling reasons to read this post is the versatility of early fall table ideas that you will find.
Unlike late autumn arrangements that heavily feature pumpkins and Halloween motifs, these early fall centerpieces incorporate a wider range of natural elements and colors.
Although there are pumpkins in these examples of early fall tablescapes, I looked for examples of tables and centerpieces with a softer style that works as we transition from summer to fall.
This allows you to create beautiful tablescapes that seamlessly bridge the gap between the two seasons, giving you more mileage out of your seasonal decor.
What Elements Work in an Early Fall Tablescape?
To get you started, here’s a list of items you might consider including in your fall tablescape:
- leaves, such as lamb’s ear, eucalyptus, cotton stems or olive leaves
- acorns
- cotton stems
- pinecones
- apples
- pears
- sunflowers and other harvest-time flowers
- wheat stalks
- gourds
- candles in neutral shades of soft white, cream, taupe, beige
- rustic wooden elements, such as candlesticks, wood slices, wood trays
