The perfect Thanksgiving table is sure to include plenty of autumnal hues. Add a shabby chic candelabra and create a table runner out of muted flowers and gourds.
Black-and-white buffalo check linen is a fun, unexpected way to decorate for Thanksgiving. Pairing it with jewel tones and natural accents like pine cones adds extra to the table setting.
Another element that will catch your guests eye is the use of decorative white pumpkins. They're the perfect nod to the fall season.
For your next Thanksgiving table, experiment with decor in a mixture of patterns. The trick to making it cohesive? Using complementary colors.
Arrange pillar candles in a variety of heights. Tuck evergreen around the whole table. And use table place settings featuring plenty of metallic accents. Together, this will make for an elegant look.
Instead of a traditional table runner, try kraft paper and add some calligraphy. It can work as a fun, eye catcher. Then top the whole thing with a gorgeous floral centerpiece.
