Use Leaf Centerpiece or Pumpkin Table Deco Kit for your tables.
|
Use our Fall scene setters for your theme.
Use burgundy, orange and yellow balloons. Tie them around these straw bales and place around your party room or outside party area.
Use a fall leaf tinsel garland for entry ways or across the ceilings. Hang a fall tinsel wreath on your entry door or party room wall.
Add scarecrows, black crows, acorns, pine cones and anything fall to decorate around the room.
|
Choose a corner of your yard to create a harvest
atmosphere (see photo above). Use straw bales for seating. State some steel rods or
fence posts into the ground and tie corn stalks to them. Tie
colorful ribbon around the corn stalks. Place oversized pumpkins
at the foot of the stalks. Use bushel baskets filled with apples, mini
pumpkins and gourds for decor. Add or make your own scarecrows.
Use small galvanized pails for serving snacks likes pretzels, apple chips, caramel popcorn, candy corn, etc.
