How to decorate a fall mantle? First of all do you spell mantle le or el at the end? In either case it works because I see it both ways all over the internet!

More questions I asked myself-

Should I use typical fall colors of orange and reds?

How about silver or gold pumpkins?

Neutral Fall decor on mantle

To figure this out, I got out some of my fall decor to see what I could put together on my fireplace mantel and I love what I created!

Choosing a color palette

My family room is decorated blues, greens, white and a little salmon so, bright orange might not be a great choice in here.

Luckily I have collected some pretty silver mercury glass pumpkins and I think they will work nicely with my family room colors.

A neutral colored fall palette!

Silver pumpkins and greenery

When we lived in Texas, I had a lot of red in my decor and my family room had a huge fireplace and mantel so I decorated the mantel in traditional fall colors.

How I Decorate my fall mantel with silver pumpkins

I start by laying out all my pumpkins on the ottoman in my family room to see what I have to work with.

Five silver pumpkins and a grapevine wreath pumpkin that I had used in this elegant rustic tablescape. Plus some greenery from my garden, a few green hydrangeas and an urn.

The question is how am I going to pull this all together to decorate my fall mantel?

Empty fireplace mantel

I decided to start with a blank slate.

Well kind of…

Work with what you have to style fireplace mantel

On the mantle normally is a large slender clear vase with olive leaf branches and a large white washed wooden wooden knick knack and a few other things.

I decide to keep the vase and wooden knick knack.

Then I added a small creamy white urn sitting atop a book, a gold ornate frame and two skinny gold candle sticks with candles in them.

Next came the silver pumpkins.

Actually the one sitting on the urn is actually gold in color.

You can’t really tell in the photos but it is and it looks nice next to the gold frame.

I always try to have an up and down method to my styling. Tall and short and medium heights if that makes sense.

Tucking silver pumpkins on fall mantle

I turned a few of the silver pumpkins on their sides to add interest.

Using this color palette of cream and silver turned out to be actually pretty easy!

It really only took me about 20 minutes to put this together and that is a huge win for me!

I love creating things quickly like when I made this coastal Christmas Wreath in under 30 min!

For a spooky Halloween mantel I used this color palette only I added in black instead of silver. You can see it here on this fall/Halloween mantel post.

It is so fun to try out different looks for the holidays isn’t it?

Simply tucking in a pumpkin here and there including one atop of the little urn creates a nice look.

Adding Greenery For a Natural Look

After I placed the pumpkins where I wanted them I headed to the garden.

Snips of greenery from some bushes are perfect for this vignette. This greenery is the same stems that I used in my Coastal Christmas wreath and it worked great!

Tucking them in and around the silver pumpkins just brought in a natural look.

I cut some blossoms off of my limelight hydrangea to add to the olive leave stems in the glass vase.

Now all I need to do is decorate the kitchen nook and the formal dining room 🙂

Maybe a little bit in the kitchen too.

How much do you decorate for fall?

    This is beautiful. I love the green accents mixed with the silver. It is autumnal, but in a different palette. It is very soothing too.

    Lovely! And, I am with you—light and natural just appeals to me this year. Orange just doesn’t fit this year’s fall scheme for me either!

Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we al Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we all loved her! I miss her funny sense of humor, her fierce love of others, her cooking and desires to always please everyone. Mom had strength beyond my comprehension she was always gardening… moving heavy pots, digging in hard soil and creating an oasis everywhere she lived. Her love of all things French was something to admired. Everyone who ever walked into her home could immediately feel loved and cared for. Mom worked tirelessly in her chocolate company right up until just a few months before she died. Her sacrifices for us were uncountable. I love my mom and all she was and did and especially her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Here’s to all the moms past present and future and to all the sacrifices, teachings and loving us even when we drive them crazy. 

Loving and missing my mom! ❤️
