Elevate your Thanksgiving table with a centerpiece inspired by the harvest season.

Give dried corn a subtle shimmer with gold and copper glitter. Arrange the cobs in a clear glass bowl with an assortment of gourds.

Mix yellow and orange chrysanthemums with crimson dahlias and rose hips to create this striking centerpiece. Assemble the arrangement in a ceramic pot or bowl and then place it inside a tin mold or basket.

This whimsical turkey centerpiece is made with a rainbow of fruits and vegetables: cranberries, brussels sprouts, eggplants, sweet potatoes, apples, peppers, carrots, dried corn, and a pumpkin. Carve Sahara oasis foam to form the base of the turkey's neck.

A white-pumpkin shell becomes the vase for an arrangement of roses, daffodils, ranunculuses, calla lilies, tulips, and hypericum berries in fall colors -- yellows, peaches, and shades of orange. Smaller pumpkins and votive candles in orange-glass holders fill out the centerpiece.

Lemon, mountain laurel, and rhododendron leave delightful impressions on homemade wax candles.

Bring fall to the table with a colorful combination of flowers and fruit. Choose from kale, lady apples, loquats, quinces, pears, pomegranates, and fresh herbs mixed with carnations, spray roses, hypericum, and anything else that catches your eye at your local market.

A quick trip to the market yielded this fall centerpiece, an informal arrangement of kumquats, squashes, and a bell pepper in a ceramic compote. Use whatever orange fruits and vegetables you find, such as baby pumpkins, carrots, persimmons, and, of course, oranges.

Staple birch bark to a pine box to create a rustic vessel for this arrangement. Use an assortment of flowers, foliage, and fruit to create a custom centerpiece in fall colors.

A molded candle can light up a room even after the flame is out. These arrangements draw from the natural beauty of the season, whether the candles are whimsical or realistic. They're ideal as a fall centerpiece.

A cluster of towers made from stacked patterned ceramics forms a graphic, sculptural centerpiece that will decorate your table day in and day out -- no green thumb needed. If you don't have an extra set of dishes lying around, you can buy great inexpensive rice bowls at an Asian outlet or pick up mixed sets at flea markets.

You don't need to spend hours to re-create the designs of early American samplers. We used a paint pen to "stitch" designs onto glass, imprinting leafy motifs on large candleholders for a centerpiece and monograms on votive holders for favors.

Transform a variety of dried gourds into tableware by hollowing them out and piling them high with pears and walnuts as centerpieces; fill others with candles in glass votives, and still more with salt and pepper.

We anchored tapers inside mini pumpkins to make easy yet elegant centerpieces.

The jewel tones and cascading abundance of these arrangements are an ode to the season.

Dressed in sumptuous garlands and filled with a profusion of winter finds, modest baskets become centerpieces and decorations with a romantic old-world appeal.

Give fall leaves a sparkling touch by adding a bit of glitter.

Baskets brimming with fruit imbue a table with rustic charm.

A low container filled with pomegranates, red viburnum berries, tulips, roses, and ranunculus is just what's needed on your Thanksgiving table.

The handwoven look of basket weave meets streamlined simplicity in a container made by wrapping a strip of caning around a glass cylinder. It contains an array of cymbidium orchids, seeded eucalyptus, and leaves of Bradford pear trees.

The distinctive plate-gold and brown of these pinecones is the result of bleaching. For contrast, we coated this new basket with green spray paint, and then lined the edge with a garland made from budded incense cedar.

A green-and-red extravaganza of Gala and Lady apples, hazelnuts, and chestnuts fills this double-handled basket.

A raffia cornucopia lined with a bed of dried wheat stalks holds an abundance of golden squashes, apples, and pears. Set on a sideboard or chest, it's a natural Thanksgiving decoration that radiates good fortune.
