School has begun, the days are starting to shorten, and Fall decorating is on my mind.
Today I’m joining some blogging friends for the Autumn Abounds blog hop.
We’re all sharing seasonal decorating inspiration.
I’ve chosen to create an easy Fall centerpiece that you can easily do yourself.
When the days get shorter, I enjoy lighting more candles throughout our home.
For this easy Fall centerpiece, I simply lined candles up on a wooden French baguette board.
Each candle is wrapped in decorative scrapbook paper.
Simply trim the paper as the candle burns down.
Two layers of burlap ribbon lay underneath the baguette board to create softness.
Wine corks, berries, and blue flowers fill the spaces in between the candles.
I love using my baguette board for centerpieces.
Simply fill it with different objects for a fresh look.
Last year I lined Baby Boos on it for a festive Fall centerpiece.
For the place settings at my Fall tablescape, I used book page placemats.
Simply glue the edges of 6 book pages together using a glue stick.
If you have young children, they’ll love helping you make them.
Colorful paisley napkins are the inspiration for the table’s color scheme.
A stretch of twine tied in a bow creates a makeshift napkin ring.
I love to layer plates and added wooden salad bowls to lend a touch of rusticity.
Is anything more enjoyable than a wonderful meal served with fine wine?
Now I just need to figure out what to make for dinner!

Jennifer, I am loving anything that is EASY! And this centerpiece has WOW factor too! I adore the candles wrapped in paper and the use of wine corks. So much texture and warmth! I now know what to do with my baguette slicer that I love but sits on top of my frig! So much inspiration, as usual!!!! Pinning and featuring on fb!
So pretty! I love that paper pattern!! Wouldn’t these wrapped candles be a great gift idea too? ~ Heather
Lovely and simple! My favorite way to decorate! The entire table turned out beautiful!
Very cute!
How beautiful! I love your style. Great to be partying with you. Pinned your centerpiece and will also be sharing on FB. xo
This is so pretty, I love how you are bringing in that pop of blue throughout this year for Fall!
Love love and more Love. Not sure what I love most. Pretty colors.
This is sooo beautiful Jennifer! I love it. Every detail.
So pretty Jennifer!
Love your blog! Now I know what to do with all my corks that have accumulated in my junk drawer! Have a wonderful weekend!
Jennifer such a pretty table. I enjoy burning candles starting now and through the winter. I think I keep Bath and Body Works in busy with their candles, LOL. Pop over, I started posting the new house.

Very pretty! I love the baguette board and the ribbon underneath is such a sweet detail! The wooden salad bowls are fantastic! I think fall and rustic go hand in hand!

Your centerpiece is just so, so lovely Jennifer! It’s simple and elegant and beautiful. 🙂
Your table and your home always have a welcoming and comfy look. Love baguette holder with candles. I have different sizes and colors of candles but putting paper around candles will disguise different than white colors to some degree. Thinking about putting candles on a cake pedestal on our shutter shelf for centerpiece since we don’t have dining table/area at all. Decorative corks help add texture and design on your table. Everything you put on give eyes something interesting to look at. Your stacked plates are perfect on table. Guess I just love it all huh?
Need to go take couple loads of laundry down, should be dry with nice temps, good breeze to dry them. Love hanging out laundry in gorgeous weather as we’re having. Not too hot at all, just right. Should be out painting chair I bought at thrift store recently. Love older style of chair. Trying to decide if it will get painted all one color or more. Want it to be happy looking so think it’ll be couple colors at least. Better get clothes off line so I can hang towels. Love how they smell being dried outside. Hang sheets out also when I can. Happy weekend
I LOVE it Jen!!!! It’s beautiful!! I just love the wrapped candles, and of course stacked on top of that wood piece, it’s perfect!! XO
Such a pretty centerpiece, Jennifer! I love all of the elements of your design ~ so beautiful. It’s great to be ‘hopping’ with you. *hugs* mb
Love those wrapped candles Jennifer! Oh… and I’d LOVE to have those wooden bowls… gorgeous!
