Autumn table decorations

Hello lovely people!! How are you? I am sure you all must be enjoying autumn..autumn colors..falling leaves..collecting pine cones..shorter and cooler days..hmmm.. I live in the tropics and really miss this season..Though I must say it does get a few degrees cooler here as well!! 

I was browsing through some of favorite German magazines and came across these lovely autumn decoration ideas.. They are so easy, practical and so pretty as well!!! 
Take a look and be inspired!!!



                              The cool, crisp autumn weather is perfect for apple picking..Use red apples as mini vase!!!! Remove the core of the apple ..Fill it with little water and put some fresh flowers from your garden or the ones you picked from your walk in it.. 



Make yourselves warm and cozy with candles..Decorate the tea light holders with cut out patterns of autumn leaves attached to them.. This could also be a great project for kids..You can get the Instructions and templates in this PDF ..They are in German but very easy to understand:)


  
Easy and quick decor idea for this fall... Heather twigs!!! Dry them and using a simple rubber band tie them around a glass carafe.. These will look good around a tea light holder as well!!! You can keep a bunch of  red, violet or pink heather twigs in a cane basket and that will also look good!!!!



 Bring the autumn to your dining table .... How about a napkin decoration with a cookie in leaf shape.. It would be a nice surprise for the guest. Shape the crispy biscuit dough with a cookie cutter in leaf shape.. Make a hole in it before baking it and later just pull a  pretty ribbon through the hole... wrap together around a napkin. 








Why just stop at table decorations... Create a Wreath of nuts...Made from hazelnuts, almonds or pine cones . 
First, collect nuts and cones.. make a hole in the nuts  with a wood drill pierce and string them on a sturdy floral wire. Then form a uniform ring...connect the wire ends and cover up with raffia. Tip: It looks best if arrange several rings together!!







                          Lovely DIY lanterns for outdoors are very easy to make.. I had done                          something similar sometime back.. Check the tutorial here..Decorate them with ribbons and fabric flowers..Fill it with water and floating candles..






    Last but not the least .. I totally loved this table arrangement... You will need baking cups, candles, candle holders and flowers like Phlox... Fill the baking cups with water and place the candle into the holder...Then float some individual phlox flowers.

Fall fruits centerpiece


apples and berries

It's been a very tiring day. Actually since last Friday's visit to the hospital, I am really feeling down. I am not that uncomfortable or unfamiliar with hospitals as I like getting pampered there and get scanned under all the machines..LOL...but it is the decor spree I am in my new home which is very hectic and stressful.. I am working towards a blue and white kitchen. Things have finally started falling in place. I think it will take a month for getting the settling down feeling. Anyway, whenever I am feeling down I like to lit up candles. They make so much difference..Is it the aroma or is it the romantic flickering lights ..I don't know.. but I really feel better.. calmed and relaxed!!! 

I wanted to make a fall table decor..but ended up doing only the fall fruit platter centerpiece..

fall centerpiece

Fruits and candles make a perfect combination. The original idea I had in mind was to have red berries, fall leaves and twigs as well..anyhow in this tropical climate and my health manged to gather only the green apples, red grapes and candles today. I wanted pumpkins as well but I didn't like the ones available..I think all the nicely rounded ..good ones are already taken...And also I am too much of perfectionist.. If I want something I settle for only something like it or nothing..

I had seen these candle/tea light holder in a shop online...can't remember now....It was cylindrical glass with tea light/candle holder on the top...I kept thinking about it and suddenly this idea came to my mind!! I took a tall glass, filled it with strawberries (I think even fresh lemon slices will look superb ) and placed a Ikea 's Bloomster tea light holder on it!! Your fresh fruit candle stand is ready!!

I want to improvise this centerpiece with some acorns and pine cones.. cinnamon sticks and star anise .. I think then it will look great for the holidays as well!!! 

I am participating in the fab party at Marty's on Tabletop Tuesday ,
