Warm fall colors are called for.

Do you have some beautiful maple leaves that have fallen that can be used? If you have children, they will enjoy using the leaves and creating placeholders for the table.

Candles are always welcome at the table. If you like to use pillars, placed in tall holders they can make an elegant statement. Consider grouping various sizes of candles together on a plate. I’ve found that I like using tiles of various sizes for this purpose. I can surround the bottom of the candles with wonderful stones, flower pedals and the like. Always keep safety in mind, especially around children.

Make center piece with small pumpkins, gourds, squash as well as apples, pears, oranges, and lemons. Try and stay with the warmer colors. Add a dash of green with ivy. A nice wicker, glass or metal platter will hold all of this.

Cranberries…yes they are a fruit and yes they are for eating…but I love the colors. What about picking up some raw berries for a bowl of color?

Think about scents. There is lots of different candle scents and potpourris to choose from.

Flowers – warm colors such as yellow roses and mums

Visit a local craft store for lots of ideas.
