Easy Fall Flower Arrangements
Today, I am sharing one of my favorite fall flower arrangements. Fresh flowers on a table make any meal special!
I am a bit of a rebel with my color scheme for this arrangement. When I created this fall flower arrangement, I thought I would use subtle fall tones. But then I went to the market, and you can see what I came home with from the photograph instead! Grocery store flowers were used to create this simple fall flower arrangement. How can something so simple make such a significant impact?
I have used the orange and pink color palette many times. Remember the table I created with the hanging fall leaves? I love that table so much.
When setting the table for this dinner party, a funny thing happened. I couldn’t decide which look I liked better.
The first option is a table with pumpkins and no pink candles.
The second option is a table with pink candles. And no pumpkins.
I still can’t decide which look I like more. Do you have a favorite?

New Wood Table Top
When I joined this amazing group of bloggers to create an easy fall flower arrangement, I was determined to set the table outside in our backyard. It’s been a while since I created a fun outdoor dining room, and I was determined to do it.
The only problem is that I didn’t have the right-sized table. We have a gorgeous Arhaus table on our back porch that seats eight and two wood tabletops (that I made) that seat eight to ten.
So what did I do? I made another wood tabletop out of old wood fencing. It is smaller, fits on top of a small white folded table, and cost me $12 to make. Yes, twelve dollars.
Doesn’t it look awesome?
Just so you know, I am so excited about this table because I have so many different ideas for using it.
Easy Fall Flower Arrangements
I made my easy fall flower arrangements with flowers from Trader Joe’s. I love using grocery store flowers, and Trader Joe’s usually has my favorite green eucalyptus for sale (for $3).
Whenever I make floral arrangements from grocery store flowers, I don’t enter the store with an idea for my arrangement. Instead, I decide what to make with the flowers available. I love that it is a challenge.
Here are the flowers I purchased.
I love mixing rustic with pretty flowers. This calf feed bucket is from Through the Porthole, one of my favorite vintage vendors.
If you are using a vintage vessel of any kind, line it before adding water! I lined the bucket with a plastic bag and first added the eucalyptus.
I like my flower arrangements to be loose and not perfect. That’s more my style!
Next, I added Gerbera daisies and tulips in pink and orange.
I absolutely love how this arrangement came out. I even timed how long it took me to make it—it took me only twenty minutes!
To be honest, should probably mention that I set a table for six dinner parties and forgot one thing. I forgot to invite the guests!
It’s true. It’s been a crazy week, our boys don’t live at home anymore, so I created this with no intention of hosting a dinner party in person.
This means my table, with one of my favorite fall flower arrangements, was created solely for all of you to enjoy.
You are my guests for this dinner party. Enjoy!

I purchased the white cotton napkins that you suggested and am loving them! They wash beautifully (no ironing) and easy to get stains out. Thanks for the hint and for all of your wonderful ideas to make our homes special. I have painted pillow covers and made pumpkins, all your inspiration!
Love this tablescape Leslie. The pink and orange gerberas look great together. Is it possible for you to write a tutorial on how you made the fence paling tabletop? I have some fence palings I would love to do this with. Always love your posts, although sometimes you really wear me out hahaha.
If you search my blog for wood tabletop, I have a very similar option to make! Thank you so much!
Such a gorgeous table – I love the pink and orange combination! And those candles! You always inspire me! Thanks for another beautiful idea!
One of my favorite color combinations! I’m so glad to read this, thank you!
