Need a little inspo to create a warm and welcoming Thanksgiving table?
Here are some ideas to help you assemble your own creative tablescapes!
1. Turn to natural décor.🍂🌰
Incorporate natural items for your centerpiece and place settings.
You don’t have to spend a lot of money on decorations to make a beautiful table.
Take a walk and collect leaves, pine cones, and other bits of nature to fill in your table décor.
2. Mix and match.🌿🦃
Mix in your traditional Thanksgiving items (turkeys, pumpkins, etc) along with natural elements, plants, and flowers.
3. Use layers to create dimension.🎀
I've used all sorts of table runner alternatives, including ribbons, burlap, brown paper, and even scarves, to create colorful accents at the center of the table. Layer these items for an even more dramatic effect:)
4. Personalized place settings 🍽
It doesn't all have to be perfect or matching; just make it personal.
Get the kids involved & create the name cards, or learn a new napkin folding skill on YouTube. Add something from your home or yard (fresh herbs, flowers, fruit). Look around and get resourceful before buying something.
Have fun with it and try something different!
