Do you ever need a quick centerpiece idea for your seasonal decor for a last minute gathering?  Picture this.. your friends are on their way over for hors devours and drinks on the patio.  And you want to make your space a little cozier for the season.  I have a very quick way to make a centerpiece for your table that takes literally 2 seconds.  This quick centerpiece idea has been a favorite of mine for years.   Since we are talking all things fall, I am using fall decor for this centerpiece idea but it can easily be switched out for the seasons.

Quick Centerpiece Idea for the Season

First off, I LOVE seasonal wreaths and use them so many more ways other than dressing up our front door.  I shared a post a few weeks back on 9 different ways to style wreaths.  So if you want more inspiration, be sure to check out that post.  For this quick centerpiece idea, I will also be using a wreath.  I have created this look with evergreen wreaths for the Holiday season and also ivy wreaths for spring.  Start by fluffing up a seasonal wreath and place it in the middle of the table.  I like to pull some of my leaves straight up to give the centerpiece a more layered and textured look.

Again, since we are talking about fall, place a large pumpkin in the center of the wreath filling the entire opening.  That’s it!  It adds so much texture and interest to your table and keeps it short so you can see your guests.  

Other additional ideas for this quick centerpiece!

• Set the pumpkin on top of a cake stand inside of the wreath to give it more height
• Do the above and add a bunch of smaller pumpkins rather than a large one
• Add seasonal candles to the inside of the wreath rather than a pumpkin
• Place some taller candlesticks on each side of the centerpiece if you have a large rectangle table

I shared this quick centerpiece look last year and I loved how this one turned out as well.  If you want to see several of my other past centerpiece ideas, check them out here!  It’s one of my favorite things to decorate.
