Why Cake Stands
I have a rather large cake stand/wooden tray collection, here are just a few. To make these arrangements I decided to stack 3 or 4 to create a faux tiered tray. Once stacked I had fun adding faux flowers, pumpkins and fillers! I did this fall tiered tray design 2 different ways, keep reading – I’ll take you through both!
Neutral Fall Floral Arrangement on a Tiered Tray
For this first one I used 3 trays, faux and real mini white pumpkins, raffia, faux lambs ear and faux heather. I simply sat the trays on top of one another placing them by size. Next I added the raffia. I love using natural fillers like raffia as it adds a lot of texture and creates a nice base for the rest of the materials. The pumpkins came next, then the lambs ears and the heather. Such a simple centerpiece, perfect for a kitchen island or as seen here placed on our dining room buffet.
I placed this arrangement on my favorite natural woven table runner.
DIY Dusty Tone Fall Floral Arrangement on a Tiered Tray
For this next one I stacked 4 wooden trays and had fun filling each layer with faux fall flowers, excelsior, pine cones and burlap leaves. I followed the same process – first stacking the trays. Next I decided to use fine excelsior as my filler for this one. From there I added the larger flowers fallowed by the smaller ones. For the faux flowers I either cut them short with wire cutters or simply pulled the heads of the stems. The pine cones and leaves were placed last. This arrangement sat perfectly on our kitchen counter right under our antique mantel that we use as open shelving in our kitchen.
This dahlia was such a pretty dusty mauve color. It gave me all the fall feels and I love it sitting on the top. Also included are sunflowers, hydrangea and chrysanthemums. Some pretty fall favorites!
If you love faux flowers be sure to see my posts on dough bowls I have a Neutral dough bowl,

If you do not have cake stands or trays you can use this same design on an actual tiered tray like this one! Or here is a cake stand set that would work perfectly!
