A beautiful tablescape can seem like an intimidating prospect, especially when you’ve seen so many examples of polished finished products. But if you break down the elements of a good tablescape, you’ll find that a gorgeous, easy, and wallet-friendly solution isn’t very far away!

Before you start, take some time to consider the look you’re after, and gather up supplies.

Every tablescape needs a touch of nature; even a simple display of fruit in a rustic basket will bring life to the arrangement. Apples and other pretty produce are a favorite for fall get-togethers, not only because they’re cheap and pretty, but because you can eat them afterwards! Pine branches or pine cones are an obvious choice for Christmas, and you can almost always find them for free.<

Once you’ve assembled all of the elements you need, begin making your arrangement.
