I love that!  I was thinking of doing something similar for our entryway since our table isn't big enough for that.  Plus, I'm looking for decorations that can do double duty for Thanksgiving and a baby shower two days later.

I have seen a lot of those glass apothecary jars for really cheap at Marshalls and I've also heard that the Dollar Tree has some of the "filler" decorations for obviously very cheap.

I'm going to get a long, low rectangular glass vase (or a few square ones) and fill them with green split peas, then put white taper candles in a straight line down the middle.  It looks nice and simple, but still festive!

Mine are already done!  I have a black metal candelabra that I've wrapped fall leaf garland on/through and tied a larger autumn colored plaid bow onto the center candle stick holder.  That's going at the center of our 18 person table. 
At the two ends of the table I have made paperbags with a block of flower styrofoam in them with bouquets of autumn flowers stuck in.  I tied small orange bows at the front/top of the bags too.  They look awesome! 
I purchased autumn colored table cloths and napkins at walmart for cheap and plan on folding the napkins creatively to dress up the table too.
