What’s Hot for Fall Wedding Centerpieces?
I confess autumn is, hands down, my favorite time of year. I love the cooler weather, the excitement of approaching holidays, the cozy clothes and, of course, the amazing colors only autumn can create.
If you’re a fall bride, and you’re using Mother Nature’s vibrant autumn hues for your wedding palette, there are some eye-popping centerpieces available to craft absolutely stunning reception tables.
I’ve picked out a few favorites for inspiration and contemplation.

It’s harvest time, and our world is full of bright-orange pumpkins, butternut squash and other color-rich gourds, pine cones, haystacks, Indian corn, gorgeous flowers and turned leaves! Think about it—you can put together fabulous centerpieces shopping in the grocery store! Carved pumpkins with candles are impressive! How about pumpkins carved with your new monogram? See what you can do with a few carefully chosen leaves and twigs! Flowers and autumn gourds combine beautifully, and candles always create a warmglow! Take a look at these for some great ideas:
I hope I’ve turned you on to some terrific centerpiece ideas for your autumn event!

To me the rose glass looks like it is a cylinder vase with red vase filler (or red glass pieces) There is one rose in there that is stuck in the vase filler- I cannot tell if the rose is real or silk but either would work for this. The vase is then filled with water just above the rose and there is a floating candle on top. The vase is sitting on top of a square mirror with rose pedals and a couple pieces of the vase filler on that.

Meghan is correct in her answer but what you do is take the glass marbles and wrap them in tulle then stick the rose in and wire it shut. You then put it in a glass cylander, fill it with water, and add the floating candle.

Thanks for all the great comments about the rose in the glass centerpiece. Since so many of you asked for instructions, we’ve posted them at http://www.howtodothings.com/family-relationships/how-to-create-a-floating-rose-candle-centerpieces. Have fun with this do-it-yourself favorite and let us know how it turns out!

I am doing that exact thing with the rose centerpiece for my wedding centerpieces and I am wondering how you get the rose to stay in the vase? It likes to float to the top and I don’t want it to move around at all, especially if someone was to bump a table or something. I don’t know what tulle is, and I don’t understand what you mean by using the wire? Or are there any other ways to hold the rose down?
