How to make a DIY Magnolia Fall Centerpiece in a Pumpkin Frame
Have you seen those adorable pumpkin wreaths at your local craft stores? They’re so cute, and I used two of these to create a 3D pumpkin arrangement with fresh magnolia branches, faux magnolia blooms, and a few branches of dried pods. You can read the full tutorial on my blog HERE.
Not only does this arrangement look great on your table, but the smell of the cinnamon will make your house smell so good.
The magnolias on my dishes were the perfect inspiration for my fall tablescape.
I pulled the colors together with green, gold, and brown, and used natural burlap linens to tie it all together. The result was a warm and inviting tablescape that was perfect for a fall gathering.
Here are some specific details about my tablescape:
- The salad dishes were a white ceramic with magnolia blossoms painted in shades of green, gold, and brown on top of a gold plate and a wood charger.
- The table runner was a natural burlap with place mats to match.
- The napkins were a linen blend in a natural color.
- The centerpiece was my simple arrangement of fall foliage, including magnolia leaves, white magnolias, and seed pods.
- I added a few candles to add some warmth and ambiance to the table.
