Fall Decorating with Candles
Although I love that the temperatures are cooling off (it was 90 degrees last week) I’m not too happy about the days getting shorter. I love sunshine and long summer days! To offset the darkness outside, fall decorating with candles is a must in my home. It’s a simple and easy way to add warmth and coziness to your home without a lot of fuss.
Sprinkle a fall tablescape with gourds, textured tablecloths, and simple candles for instant warmth and coziness. And don’t forget the glass of wine!
This large glass jar from World Market only cost $12 and makes the perfect vessel for a pillar candle.
Fall decorating with candles can be as easy as tucking votives into vintage glass milk bottles. Would you believe that this photo was taken during the day? It’s true! I used a super fast shutter speed to let as little light as possible into the lens so it would look like it was dark outside.
The warm glow of candles helps to brighten my spirits as evening falls earlier and earlier. Today I’m sharing an easy DIY candle tutorial at Live Creatively Inspired using mason jars, votives, and cracked corn. Head on over and check it out!
And now for a couple of announcements …

Hi Jennifer,
I love candles too. They give off a nice relaxing vibe. Your table looks beautiful.
Kris
I love the simplicity of your table. With a few items you created a very warm and inviting tablescape. It’s very cozy!
Nancy
Simplistic beauty. Luv it Jennifer.. all warn and cozy!
OOps… should have said… all warm and cozy. Sorry.
I always enjoy burning candles in the late afternoon and evenings once the days get shorter. I like nice autumn scented ones too don’t you? It’s always important to remember to never leave the house with a candle burning. I did this the other day but thankfully I was only out for a few minutes and the glass votive didn’t break. So many house fires are started from burning candles left unattended. Your photos really look cozy. Enjoy. Pamela
Very pretty. I stick with mainly things from nature and candles too. It’s hard to let the beautiful days come to an end. Candles certainly change gloomy to cozy and calm.
Gorgeous photos and inspiration Jennifer! Love your ideas! 🙂
Vanessa
Makes me want to run to our kitchen and create something cozy! Love the inspiration:)

I am a huge fan of candles. I am a Bath and Body Works 3 wick candle addict, I am not kidding. When were packing up the house we had two boxes of candles, LOL!! I am so bad that I bought some for the fall while we are at my girlfriends house. How nuts is that??? I love their scents Autumn, Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin just name a couple. It is a compulsion, I tell you, LOL!!! Your home is looking stunning for fall, Jennifer, as always!

So pretty! I just love all of the candles and colorful pumpkins and gourds! Can’t wait for the home tour to begin! Hugs, Leena
We love candles too. Sometimes I even read by candlelight. (Bad for the eyes, but good for the soul!). I love that grey pumpkin. It’s gorgeous!
Such a cozy table. Love the covering on the table and the burlap center. The pumpkins look so perfect and at home in this setting. The candles really add a nice glow and sense of warmth (even if you don’t need warmth)!
In a sea of bright autumn orange, red, and yellow, this post really caught my eye. It’s a breath of fresh air, so soft and gentle. Lovely…
