Thanksgiving is such a special time where we have a unique opportunity to share our gratitude for our loved ones and the facets of our lives that we are grateful for. This is one holiday that is all about being with family and friends, gathering around the table, and letting others know how special they are to us. Here we share a few ideas to create a Thanksgiving tablescape that is warm and inviting.
Classic Natural
This classic tablescape includes the warm tones found in nature this time of year. The key here is using multiple shades of the colors and textures and layer them accordingly. A neutral urn is used to anchor the table with black beard wheat, while fall florals, fillers and faux pumpkins complete the centerpiece. Textured olive napkins are paired with matte gold chargers, flatware and napkin rings.
50 Shades of Grey and White
For a stylish deviation from typical earth toned Thanksgiving décor, consider mixing bold colorful florals against a grey and white backdrop. Here grey placemats are draped vertically to contrast with sophisticated white linens. Added to the flowers was greenery and fresh herbs including sage, basil flowers, privet, and yarrow leaves.
Pumpkins and Succulents
Adding succulents to traditional Thanksgiving décor can create a fun, updated tablescape. Here succulent arrangements using faux materials were arranged in mini pumpkins fresh from the farm. Traditional acorn harvest placemats were complimented by grey linen napkins to complete the look.
Evergreen and Gold
For those who enjoy celebrating Thanksgiving as a kick-off to Christmas season, this evergreen and gold décor allows you to give a nod to Christmas while still retaining fall elements. In this design, white hydrangeas are the star of the show along with fresh evergreens. Gold/mustard fringe napkins coupled with forest green plates add a warm and elegant feel.
