    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.

Add bunches of fall flowers and leaves for classic elegance.
