How to Design a Pumpkin Centerpiece

Fall Centerpiece

• 1

  Group pumpkins of various sizes together on a platter, tray or a cake stand. Use green or white pumpkins for a different look.

• 2

  Add embellishments to the centerpiece, such as pine cones, gourds of different colors and sizes and berries.

• 3

  Light votive candles, and place them around the centerpiece to cast a warm glow on the pumpkins and to add a cozy feeling to the table.

Halloween Centerpiece

• 4

  Paint pumpkins darker colors, such as black, green or purple. Use acrylic paints for this process.

• 5

  Glue fake crystals to the pumpkins for a sparkly addition to the table.

• 6

  Embellish the centerpiece with spider webbing. Place the cobwebs around the pumpkins or over them to add some spookiness to the decoration.

• 7

  Place red roses in bud vases, and surround the pumpkins with them. Red flowers look appropriate against dark-colored pumpkins.

Thanksgiving Centerpiece

• 8

  Fill a cornucopia basket with miniature pumpkins, nuts, cinnamon sticks and gourds.

• 9

  Stick artificial blooms, such as orange daisies and yellow mums, into the cornucopia arrangement to accent the centerpiece.

• 10

  Sprinkle artificial fall leaves around the cornucopia.

• 11

  Light orange taper candles. Then, place them around the cornucopia, or line the middle of the table with the candles.

• 12

  Place a miniature pumpkin in between each taper candle to continue the centerpiece along the entire table. If the table is round, encircle the centerpiece with candles, and skip the small pumpkins.
