Napkin rings inspired by autumn flowers

While some might feel like autumn reminds them of everything around them dying and preparing to sleep during the winter, others know just how colourful this time of year really is. Whether you enjoy decorating your dinner table on a regular basis or you want to step up your décor when entertaining guests, autumn inspired napkin rings add great colour and style.

Autumn is not only associated with some of the most beautifully coloured flowers but also some of the most eye-catching leaves. Use these as your inspiration and you can be sure that your table will look exceptional.

One great idea is to use large, flat flowers like gerbera daises to decorate your napkin rings. You need only one flower per napkin ring. Remember, you need to choose the right flowers and you can always add some dark green foliage behind the flower to help it stand out.

If you prefer a leaf design, your best bet is a maple leaf or something similar. These are large, flat leaves which means that they will rest flat on the napkin ring and napkin. These leaves can be used on their own or you can add small flowers.

Berries are also popular for this time of year for their colour and texture. A cluster of berries will look great but most people prefer grouping a few berries with a dried leaf or even a mini pine cone. Take a walk around your garden and around the neighbourhood if you want fresh autumn flowers and foliage.

If you want napkin rings that you can use year after year, why not make wire flowers and leaves? Some designs are fairly simple while others are more intricate. These flowers and leaves can be made from colourful wire and you can even add beads if you like.
