Heights and Levels
Place several vases, bowls, compotes, and candleholders on the table. Use varying heights and in your choice of silver, brass, crystal, etc. We've used silver for an elegant look with the beaded fruit.

Votive Candleholders
Use votive candleholders as the base for small items. Here we've added real pears to the arrangement as a variation in size.

Add Leaves
Finally, add a bit of texture by setting sprigs of green leaves on the table.
Tip: Preserved or silk leaves might also be used. Match the color to the fruit or choose a contrasting look.
