Glittering Fall Table Setting and Centerpiece Ideas

For a sophisticated but not over-the-top look, balance the sparkle of metallics with natural elements, like fall branches or fresh fruit. Erinn's Tip: "Metallics add a great modern touch to a fall tablescape. Deep copper and bright bronze are a lovely additional to a traditional table. I prefer to bring in natural, textured elements like these seed-beaded placemats so the table doesn't get too glitzy." Photo courtesy of Bobbi Fabian.

Set the stage for an unforgettable Thanksgiving feast with a centerpiece that exemplifies bounty. A ghost-white pumpkin, chunky pillar candles and metallic-painted gourds add sparkle. Erinn's Tip: "Create a table that's casual and warm with a modern twist. Play with colors of chocolate, taupe and birch contrasted with crisp white." Photo courtesy of Bobbi Fabian.

This place setting layers basic elements to achieve an extraordinary effect. Erinn's Tip: "A set of white plates is a great standard to have for your year-round table. You don't have to get something special out just for the season. It's all in the presentation — a crisp linen napkin folded into thirds and laid under a bronze glass plate topped with a miniature pear sets each guests' plate off with style for very little money, time or fuss."

Golds and ambers pair beautifully with the traditional browns and oranges of fall. Erinn's Tip: "Glass vases can be found very inexpensively in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes at your local housewares store. They're fantastic for adding a splash of luminescent color to the room. So go wild! Bring a bunch home, try them out and return what you don't use." Photo courtesy of Bobbi Fabian.
