With striking foliage and romantic floral varieties, it’s easy to see why fall is the most popular wedding season. Full disclosure: the PartySlate team starts dreaming of fall wedding centerpieces by the middle of August.

Wedding centerpieces encapsulate everything from your wedding style to your wedding color palette. Moreover, beautiful centerpieces heighten the meaningful moments shared over dinner — while also ensuring your wedding album is picture-perfect.

Our favorite fall wedding ideas start with curated centerpieces. We’ve searched through hundreds of real wedding albums on PartySlate to bring you our favorite 25 tablescape ideas for this bountiful season.

From rustic fall wedding centerpieces to elegant linen and accents, the striking beauty of autumn wedding décor has never been more inspiring.

Create a subtle shift in color with pale Anthurium, suspended pampas grass, and soft-orange blooms.

Let walnut farm tables be the perfect blank canvas for your autumn tablescape filled with rustic pottery, green amaranth, and fall fruits.

Create a romantic space for you and your beloved with lavish pink florals and mauve amaranthus that encircle both the top and bottom of your sweetheart table.

Go asymmetrical with an overhanging floral installation at the end of your king’s table — and make sure to cast soft illumination with plenty of candlelight.

Mix champagne and burgundy blooms for a modern fall color palette with ikebana-inspired style.

Capture the drama of the season with a free-floating centerpiece that shifts from one hue to another — just like real autumn foliage.

Embrace a neutral color palette while accenting your boho style with feathery foliage and wicker seating.

Evoke romance with a bohemian twist by incorporating rich autumn hues, lush florals, and beaded chandeliers into your tablescape.

Combine rustic style with industrial charm by hosting your reception in a chic, warehouse-style venue (complete with autumn blooms set against a wooden tablescape).

Cast a magical vibe with candlelit tables set against jewel-toned uplighting — and choose your florals to match.

Keep it bright and cheerful with pops of pink and red from amaranthus and ranunculus blooms.

Bring the grandeur of a fall garden inside with an abundance of lush greenery and soft floral arrangements — plus plenty of candlelight.

Create a bright autumnal glow with a mix of warm-hued florals, grape clusters, and persimmons set beneath twinkling fairy lights.

A little goes a long way with neutral blooms — and the most delicate greenery — set against an off-white tablescape.
