Thanksgiving is one of the most celebrated meals of the year… family and friends from near and far gathering together to celebrate and be thankful. Centered on the ceremonious turkey carving, the table decorations should also complement and inspire. These are some of our favorite simple Thanksgiving decorating suggestions from classic to elegant, rustic to chic.
Embrace the season and re-use uncarved pumpkins from Halloween. From fairytale, casper and baby boo to turban squash, incorporating pumpkins into your tablescape builds layer and depth. Leave some larger pumpkins whole and use smaller stable pumpkins as candle holders with 9 in candles lit throughout. Paired with a simple table cloth and dinnerware and a few rustic branches, you will create an elegant festive holiday table guaranteed to delight your friends and family!
Bring in elements of nature for a rustic and outdoorsy tablescape by using pinecones, moss, logs and a natural burlap runner. Various mason jars as votive holders will wow your guests.
For a classic holiday, embrace the red, brown and pumpkin table by visiting the market for winterberries, orange dahlias, orange lilies and additional green and brown foliage. Orange napkins draped over a plate with a rustic name tag-adorned pumpkin for each guest will provide the perfect Thanksgiving touch.
Thanksgiving chic is a real thing… purples, rich greens and browns with persimmons and magnolias is the new elegant chic trend of the season. Forgo the traditional tablecloth for a natural wood element with a vibrant table runner instead. Several small arrangements with large votive candles placed at random will add an effortless and chic finish to this Thanksgiving.
Break out the silver and fine china! Classic white flowers and roses overflowing a stunning silver bowl will make for a beautiful centerpiece. Finish the table with silver spray painted miniature pumpkins, your grandmother’s crystal candle holders, crystal glassware and a simple white linen table cloth to bring elegance to your favorite holiday.
We hope this types motivate your inner hostess this Holiday Season!
