Surprise Your Guests With A Stunning Thanksgiving Tablescape!

Tips to use when creating a tablescape

These ideas can help you create a warm and inviting Thanksgiving table that celebrates the season!

• Classic Fall Colors: Use a color palette of deep reds, burnt oranges, mustard yellows and earthy browns. A tablecloth, runner, naplins or placemats in these shades can serve as a great base.
• Natural Centerpiece: Create a lush centerpiece filled with seasonal flowers, such as sunflowers, dahlias and chrysanthemums, interspersed with small pumpkins and gourds. Dried flowers can also add a touch of autumn charm.

Layer, Layer, Layer, create texture from the tabletop up

• Rustic Charm: Embrace a rustic theme with elements like burlap table runners, wooden chargers, and mason jar centerpieces filled with wildflowers. Accent the table with twinkling fairy lights or candles in varied heights for a cozy, inviting glow.
• Layered Textures: Mix different textures with linen napkins, a woven table runner, and ceramic or wooden dishware for a rich visual experience.

Candles create a warm ambience and added elegance

• Elegant Candlelight: Use an assortment of candles in varying heights to creat a warm ambience. Consider using candlesticks or votive holders in metallic finishes for added elegance.
• Elegant Simplicity: Stick with a minimalist approach using white or cream tableware and soft linen. Add natural elements such as sprigs of rosemary or eucalyptus along the table, and use simple beige or textured napkins for an understated yet elegant look.

Eclectic styles are charming when paired with natural elements

• Mix & Match Vintage: Use mismatched vintage china and glassware for a charming eclectic look. Add lace or crochet table runners for a touch of nostalgia, and consider using vintage silverware for an added layer of character.
• Natural Elements: Incorporate natural decor by using items like pinecones, acorns, and branches. These can be displayed in bowls or vases as part of your table settings.

Personalized place cards makes each guest feel special

• Personalized Place Settings: Add place cards for each guest, using small autumn leaves or acorns as holders. This adds a personal touch and makes guests feel special.
• Thankful Notes: Have small cards at each setting where guests can write what they are thankful for, creating a meaningful shared experience.

• Gourmet Grazing Table: Instead of a traditional seated dinner, set up a gourmet grazing table filled with seasonal appetizers, cheeses, breads, and spreads. Decorate with autumn florals and greenery to create an inviting spread.

Enjoy the process of assembling your Thanksgiving tablescape! The joy lies in gathering various items and experimenting with different ideas. With limitless options, you can unleash your creativity and add your personal touch. Bring together what you already have, and you may only need a few new pieces to complete the look. Don’t forget to incorporate natural elements from outside, which can enhance your decor without breaking the bank.

The most important thing is to have fun while you create!

Happy Tablescaping!
