Persimmons are not only one of the tastiest fruits of the season, but one of the prettiest too. Their bright orange color perfectly pairs with fall and their small shape makes it easy to style in bowls, cake plates, floral arrangements, and more.
2. Wheat
Wheat is a fun addition to any fall decor. It’s fun shape and neural color make it appealing to just about any centerpiece, and it stands alone beautifully, too. We love how this photo shows off a bouquet of wheat tied with pretty ribbon.
