Autumn cones After red-orange leaves andsunny pumpkin cones are the main sign of late autumn and a gift to the decorator, a natural natural material that will emphasize all the advantages of country or Provence.

2. Contrasting minimalism. It would seem that the colorful autumn decor and the tendency of the minimalists to self-restraint are incompatible. Nothing like this! Try to use on the table one item: a small pumpkin, a pomegranate, a delicate branch with several berries or an autumn leaf - and the table will become a work of art, will attract the attention of all your guests. 
3. Country style. Narrowly rude, rustic decor emphasizes the essence of autumn parties, the end of the harvest season and man's striving for nature and naturalness. As a vase or dish, use a wooden trough, enamelled pots or old colander, tin dishes. The overall color scheme of the composition should be sustained in "earthen" brown-beige or fresh white-green tones with rare splashes of bright color - yellow pumpkins or red berries. 
DIY One of the simplest and most effectiveways to decorate the center of the table - a cereal bouquet. To do this is not difficult at all. You will need a bunch of dry and strong grains, twine and a sponge, which florists use. To begin with, you need to cut out two small cylinders from a sponge and glue them together - the width of the form will determine the width of the "bouquet". 
Step two - add the grass. First glue our form with a suitable brown or beige paper and smear it with glue, leaving no traces - PVC for example. Carefully put our cereals in one layer on a sticky base. After the layer dries a little, we cut the grass from the bottom side. 
To create the desired effect requires 3-4 layersGrasses, successively pasted on each other. After that, the remaining cereals "fill" the middle of the composition, sticking them directly into the sponge. Finally, the last step is several turns of twine or braid. The bouquet is ready!
