You did not state if they were real or artificial, however I visualize a long garland with the leaves adding either fake or real fruit and intertwining white lights.

Scattered down center on a nice simple soft color (beige or salmon) runner like windblown leaves with a few apples with bay leaves and cloves stuck in them. A couple nice tall silver candlesticks with beige candles. Have nice beige/salmon color napkins with a bayleaf and a sprig of red berry.

Get a long rectangular piece of green styrofoam, cover it in moss, ivy, or leaves using a hot glue gun. Then glue the bay leaves along the edges with pointy tips facing out. Put 3 glass votives with candles equidistant throughout the rectangle. Sprinkle the rectangular area with cranberries and small acorns/nuts, This will be fragile. I would make it on the table, so you wouldn't have to move it. When you are done (moss is messy), THEN wipe the table off, and gently slide a new tablecloth underneath it. If you have a LOT of bay leaves, you can also get green toothpicks and hot glue them to the back of the bay leaves, and push them into the styrofoam. It would be cute to get some miniature glass woodland creatures and put them throughout the arrangement, especially if children will be present.
