Those of you that read my blog regularly know I am a big fan of using natural elements in décor whenever possible. There is something very welcoming about bringing the outside in. Here are some lovely organic tablescapes to get you inspired.

A fall centerpiece doesn’t have to be made up of typical autumnal flowers. This lovely arrangement welcomes fall in a quiet way.

This one is more atypical but just as lovely.

I love the mix of the pale blue pumpkins with the bittersweet and persimmons.

Love the combination of the white mini pumpkins and white hydrangeas with the warm wood tray.

Love this one from my friend Kris from Driven by Décor. Simple vases with gorgeous fall leaves create instant impact.

The last two are a couple of mine from a few years past. This centerpiece is a simple arrangement of vintage hydrangeas and fall leaves.

Here I used wicker covered bottles with olive branches gathered from my yard.

OMG Cindy, you turned me into a Pinning fool!!! So inspirational!!
I know Celia…love them! I know you will come up with something spectacular for yours!!
These are gorgeous. I especially love yours. You're very talented!
Right back at you Carla. I love your work!
So many beautiful fall tables…you always do a fabulous table…
Thanks Julie!
These are so stunning. I agree with Elizabeth, I like yours best. Oh the joy of having a greenhouse large enough to host dinner! One can dream!

That is so nice of you Jennifer! I agree about the greenhouse but then we would have to tend to all of the plants as well!!
Wow–thanks Cindy for all this inspiration. So much to look at!! Love your olive branches and wicker and the plaid throws on the table. Love everything about the first photo…and I really want those green bottles for my candles 🙂
Leslie if you lived at my house there would always be an over abundance of those "green bottles"!!
Gorgeous inspirations Cindy! Esp love the plaid blanket.
Me too Anne…I can't find mine…I would love to mimic that one!
Love everyone of these beautiful table settings!
Thanks so much for stopping by Peggy! Great to hear from you!!
I love Fall! The colors are amazing this time of year. Thank you for inspiring me.

Lissy I would love to be in your neck of the woods this time of year…we have what I call faux fall here! Especially this year with the heat!!
LOVELY!I like yours THE BEST.
I rarely think about the DISPLAY on the table as I am worrying about the food………………
NOTE TO SELF………….MAKE A FUSS over the table Elizabeth!!!
I am with you Elizabeth…the food is always the star!!
Cindy,
100% spot on as far as I'm concerned. I love nature's bounty this time of year, why not use it indoors. Now I just have to figure out if I can wrangle my ladder over to the neighbor's liquid amber and saw off a few of the beautiful branches?! 🙂
I'm with Debra, one of my favorites on your post is your covered bottles set in olive branches. My table is set with "Redfern" my taxidermy pheasant and lots of leaves and pumpkins with my pair of faux antlers mixed in for good measure. The thing I like best is that I can leave it up through November.
Happy Halloween!
xo,
Karen
Oh Karen I love those taxidermy pheasants! If I ever see one I am going to pick it up! We used one in the outdoor tablescape at Berries and Branches last year and everyone loved it!! So agree about fall decor we can enjoy it longer!! Happy Halloween to you Karen!!
These are all so beautiful!! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
I know someone who could create something just as gorgeous!!
the best autumn tabletops i have seen. yours with the woven bottles is my fav
debra
You are too sweet world traveler! When are you coming to California? My sister is moving from Chicago so I may never get back there!!
Everyone of these table settings is perfection. The details are wonderful!
Thanks D.A..I love them all as well!!

How do you get the large lemons in these narrow jug of water? Hints?
Love nature and how you used it!
Waiting for next post.
Hi Nan
Sort of like a ship in a bottle!! This is not one of mine but I am guessing they are large slices! Thanks so much for commenting!!
These are magical…it would be fun to sitting at any of these tables. SO pretty. And you are so talented!
And you are way too nice my friend!!
All of these are so inspired!
Thanks Vel!
These are all so gorgeous Cindy. I love using clippings from my yard all year long. Your olive branches are so pretty! I wonder if I could grow that here in Massachusetts. I'll have to give it a try just for the sake of my tablescapes!!
I doubt if you could grow olives in Mass unless you brought it in in the winter…but you might be able to grow one in a sheltered location…it is worth a try…why not!!
All beautiful, especially yours! Even though its not autumn here, there are some great ideas to copy. xx Sharon
I often think of you on the other side of the world when most of the bloggers are blogging winter and you are enjoying summer! Must be interesting! Thanks for the tips for my accountant by the way much appreciated!
Thanks Karena! Happy Monday!!
Cindy I pinned almost all of these fabulous fall entertaining images!
A great mix of unusual natural elements!
