    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.
