I love Thanksgiving. The turkey and dressing. The sweet potato casserole. The green beans and buttery soft rolls. The pumpkin and pecan pies. It’s such a delicious holiday! Even though I won’t be home this year to celebrate the holiday with my family, it doesn’t mean that I don’t love this holiday. Not only do I love the food, but I love the beautiful tablescapes.
The table decorations are almost just as important as the food. Setting the scene not only brings people together, but can be a great conversation starter.
I love simple tablescapes that don’t interfere with the conversation between guests. Using small decorative pumpkins, fall leaves, and candles are perfect for an evening Thanksgiving dinner. {How Does She}
I love the blue plates and the small white pumpkins with nameplates attached to the stems. I also love the rustic burlap table runner with stitch detail. So simple, yet so elegant! {Home Accessories on About.com}
Want your tablescape to make a bolder statement? Then try shiny gold decorations, from the pumpkins and pine cones to the votive candles. Truly an elegant table! {Wedding Chicks}
The Budget Decorator has some great “high style, low budget” Thanksgiving tablescape ideas.
Here is another low profile tablescape that allows guests to see each other over the decorations. This tablescape is just one of many celebrity-styled Thanksgiving tablescapes featured on PopSugar. {PopSugar Home}
Need some color ideas for your Thanksgiving table? If you’re thinking about either gold, autumnal, green, or pumpkin colored decorations, Savvy Sassy Moms has some wonderful decorating tips.
Anderson + Grant definitely has some inspiring ideas. I loved the colors used in these tablescapes, and some of the items used to decorate the tables were great {like the small wood tree branches used as candle holders}. These ideas are a perfect combination of chic and rustic, ultimately making the perfect Thanksgiving tablescapes.
In a world where most people are going to use either heavy duty paper plates or Chinet dishes, it’s nice to see actual China and decorative plates used on such a special holiday.
How do you plan to decorate for Thanksgiving, or do you even decorate for Thanksgiving?
Yours Truly,
Vanessa
