Looking for an easy Fall tablescape for Thanksgiving? Try your hand at this velvet pumpkin centerpiece for an elegant fall feel.
Orange pumpkins, fall leaves, bright yellows and reds. The warm earthy colors of fall can be a fun way to decorate your home and it is often the go to for fall and Thanksgiving day home decor.
However, this year I wanted to change up my fall decor from last year and add a few velvet pumpkin decorations to my home. I used these beautiful and elegant pumpkins on my fireplace mantel.
However, I started thinking about different ways this same combination of decor could be used elsewhere in the home for those who don’t have a fireplace mantel to decorate and I came up with an easy and beautiful pumpkin centerpiece for your dinning room table.
If you need event decorations and centerpieces for a fall wedding or if you plan to host Thanksgiving dinner and want to use a different color scheme than the typical fall decor, try this easy velvet pumpkin centerpiece.

Velvet Pumpkin Centerpiece
MATERIALS NEEDED
Note: All of the materials I used for this centerpiece, except for the wreath and the green tablecloth, came from Dollar Tree. If you have one close by, that is a great place to go shopping for decor. However, the only way to buy most of these items online through Dollar Tree is bulk and since you probably don’t need 36 pumpkins, I have tried to link to different similar products I found online.
- Green spring wreath
- Mini velvet pumpkins – I couldn’t find ones with clips already attached online, but you can glue small clips like these to the back with a hot glue gun.
- Clear goblet (one with a thick stem works best)
- Small velvet pumpkins
- White and gold pumpkins
- White table runner (The size you choose will depend on your table)
- Small square table cloth like this one.
