Fall is about the harvest, so don't be afraid to bring the bounty of the season in to your decorative arrangements, as well as your dinner table.

Seasonal fruits like pears and apples make colorful sculptural additions to any arrangement or table decoration.There are faux fruit versions available that will last year after year.

Don't forget the huge array of nuts that have been part of the fall harvest for centuries. Displayed in hurricane lamps with candles, they lend an earthiness to any decorative vignette.

Also include citrus for its vibrant colors and the tangy fragrance of its foliage. Mixed with flowers and herbs, the fruit looks charming left on the stem.

Succulents arranged amid autumn leaves makes an interesting bouquet, with chartreuse, gray, gold and orange hues.

Whatever the season, there's a nature world out there to bring indoors.
