Fall Flower Tablescape

 Creating a tablescape with autumn blossoms is super easy. Using mason jars, simply decorated, empty wine and beer bottles (cleaned and rinsed) without the labels, and large pitchers that seem to just sit under the cabinets, putting some flowers together for a gathering or just decoration is quick and inexpensive. Here are a few ideas on how to decorate and arrange flowers using these items.

 

Decorative Mason Jars

Mason jars are available in many colors now and can be used for a variety of reasons, from canning to becoming a floral centerpiece. If desired, simply pick a fall colored mason jar or spray paint one and place a floral arrangement inside. For a more decorative look, use glitter and ribbon.

Materials:

• Mason Jars (as many as planning to place on table, medium to large size)
• Autumn or Halloween ribbon (available for less than 1.49 at Micheal's)
• Glue
• Glitter (orange, purple, red, brown)
• Floral arrangement from store, mums, or fake flowers and leaves

Directions:

1. Place some tissue paper inside the jar, to catch the glitter, and place jar on a thin paper plate. 
2. Put glue around the lid of the jar, sprinkle glitter over it till covered, and tie a ribbon just below the lid. If desired, make witch hats, leaf shape, pumpkin or pumpkin face, or write an autumn message on the smooth side of the jar with the glue and then glitter. Let dry before pulling out the tissue paper.
3. Cut flowers to fit inside the jar or place some leaves or a candle inside. 
4. Arrange in a line on the table with small pumpkins sitting on paper leaves in between them.

 

Wine and Beer Bottles

This is really easy. Just empty out the bottles, rinse and remove the labels. Spray paint the bottles or leave as is, or use laminated paper to place a dry leaf or a fake one onto one side of the bottle. Place leaves or some flowers inside and place around food platters on the table.

Pitchers

This is is also simple. Just find a bunch of flowers at the local super market, fill the pitcher with water and mix plant food packet into it. Cut the flowers and place them inside, use as centerpiece of the table.

All these can be altered for Harvest or Halloween parties. Happy Fall Ya'll.
