A cozy and inviting space with an autumnal centerpiece.
I love nothing more than a beautifully designed bouquet of flowers on a dining table but for holiday celebrations or celebratory dinner parties, I feel greenery garland table runners is an elegant way to dress your dinner table.
Decorate your top table with this beautiful centerpiece, which is super easy to make! For inspiration purposes, I created a smaller version on this table for two. While visiting HomeGoods about two weeks ago, I found these dried eucalyptus branches – wrapped in a bunch (resembling olive leaf branches). The very long leafy branches was perfect for cascading on each end of the table, creating a natural fall table runner.
Starting at one end of the table, lay each branch on the center of the table and layer the remaining bunches by adding branches to it, fanning them out to the sides. Next, I used mini white pumpkins and laid them atop the eucalyptus. To finish it off, I wanted to feature floral accents, so I clustered single stems of white roses in any empty spaces. If you want to go elaborate, you can use floral wire to tie your single blooms to the eucalyptus on the cascading part of the greenery that drapes down from the tabletop.
What makes this centerpiece shine is its organic, unfussy look. Therefore, there’s no specific pattern or way to do this – do what feels natural to you!
Because it’s that time of the year to to pack in the pumpkin sweets, I tried out a recipe and made this Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer to add to my coffee. To accompany this deliciously flavored hot beverage, these Spiced Pumpkin Madeleine Cookies from Trader Joe’s was simply divine!
Oh, how I love the fall!
