There’s something special about entertaining once autumn arrives—from the prismatic presentation of foliage in a spectrum of vibrant hues to the season’s bountiful harvest displayed on porches and tables alike.

And no setting is complete without a showstopping centerpiece surrounded by delightful accents. We’ve collected a few of our favorite displays and hope the following looks will inspire your next gathering.
