Pssttt did you see how my transitional fall tablescape looked with my Dollar Tree arrangement? It’s super fun too and has more of a neutral, elegant look to it.

What I love about this rustic fall centerpiece with pumpkins is that it combines traditional orange tones with rustic greens and aged copper tones.

It feels like fall to me!

HERE’S HOW TO MAKE THIS EASY FALL CENTERPIECE WITH PUMPKINS:

1. GATHER MATERIALS

For this project, you’ll need:

  • 4 faux or real pumpkins (I used 4, large faux pumpkins and spray painted them this color)
  • Faux boxwood garland, like this one
  • Faux eucalyptus stems (I have these)
  • Orange or copper table runner

2. PLACE TABLE RUNNER ON TABLE

For this fall centerpiece, it doesn’t really matter how long the runner is. You could have a really long runner that hangs over both sides or a shorter runner that doesn’t reach the ends.

The purpose of the runner, in this case, is to bring some beautiful underlying color to the ‘scape!

3. ADD FOUR PUMPKINS

When you place the pumpkins, alternate them to the left and right side of the runner. This will allow you do the next step easily.

4. WEAVE BOXWOOD GARLAND AROUND PUMPKINS

Simply place your garland between the pumpkins. It doesn’t need to be perfect at all. You’ll do the fine tuning in the next step.

These eucalyptus stems are super easy to bend and place in pretty much any display.

You can easily conceal the ends by sticking them under the garland.

For the rest of the tablescape, I added some terra cotta-rimmed plates, stemless copper wine glasses, and small orange and copper pumpkins.

I also used cute jute braided chargers for some additional texture.

See those green pumpkins above?

I actually made this tablescape originally with green pumpkins but later decided to spray paint them copper.

Here’s how it looked with green pumpkins on the table:
