    If you prefer a modern, fuss-free centerpiece style, a slender gathering of branches in a tall glass vase is a perfect focal point for your table. Another possibility with modern subtlety is a precise row of white pumpkins on a rustic wood tray interspersed with acorns.

    The fall harvest of fruits and vegetables is one of the easiest and most beautiful choices for a Thanksgiving centerpiece. An artfully arranged bounty of white and orange pumpkins, green apples and red pears is a fresh idea with appealing simplicity. Add a few carefully placed pinecones or fall leaves gathered from the backyard for more color and creativity.

    Glowing candles are always a popular choice for a fall table. A tray full of all white candles in varying heights or an array of your favorite vintage candlesticks in gleaming silver bring a comforting glow to holiday meals. Add bunches of fall flowers and leaves for classic elegance.

    Build your centerpiece on a large tray or plate to make removal easy if necessary. Remember to keep taller items thin to prevent blocking any views. Above all, have fun experimenting and be sure to give yourself enough time to create, change and enjoy your Thanksgiving table!
