November has officially arrived, which means Thanksgiving is right around the corner. The best part of this season is the opportunity for families to come together, reconnect, and enjoy each other’s company. What better way to make this holiday extra special than to add some festive decor to the place you’ll be gathering around: your dinner table! Keep reading to gain inspiration on how you can make your Thanksgiving tablescape memorable for your loved ones.
Use a Bold Tablecloth
Starting your Thanksgiving tablescape with a patterned tablecloth is an easy way to make a statement. It gives you something to build from as you’re creating your overall holiday look. This plaid option ties the muted tones of the overall color palette together and gives a chic, cozy feel.
I love how bright and cheerful the colors are in the above tablescape. The yellow cloth lays a great foundation for the vibrant napkins and table settings! This is a great example of how you can experiment with different color and pattern combinations to create something absolutely eye-catching.
My favorite part of this tablecloth choice is how it blends beautifully with the china’s white and blue pattern. This kind of coordination is a cool way to think outside the box when mixing your decor.
Make it Personal
As a guest, nothing beats the warmth of a personalized table setting. The name card adds a special touch to this gold and white tablescape. The greenery keeps everything on theme in a subtle, pretty way.
On top of having a personalized name card, a corresponding menu is a great way to go the extra mile for your guests. It elevates the dining experience. The colors and font of this example are absolutely stunning!
Get creative with how you present your guests’ names. These geode nameplates are a unique way to add a trendy touch to your tablescape. Your guests will be pleasantly surprised by the thought and time that went into this earthy theme!
Add Fresh Florals
You can never go wrong by incorporating a beautiful bouquet into your setup. This particular arrangement adds a pop of color that livens up the whole setting and adds instant visual appeal. Plus, I love that it sticks to warm tones in this case.
The way this tablescape uses greenery to complement the neutral-toned and light green dinnerware is beyond beautiful. This is a great way to keep things feeling lush and natural without having to overthink a color scheme.
The thing I adore most about this tablescape is how the color palette is a bit more subdued. It’s an unexpected look that still works perfectly for autumn. The pastel pink adds just enough color to accent the more neutral shades.
Go Non-Traditional
Orange and blue might not be the first colors that come to mind when you think of Thanksgiving, but this theme pulls it off beautifully! The complementary colors are pleasing to the eye, while the pumpkins add that seasonal element that pulls it all together.
This citrusy tablescape defies all the seasonal norms but in the most lovely way. Though the fruit and candles make it feel like something more of a summertime display, they keep things extra fresh. The “thanksgiving” notes on the table settings keep it holiday-appropriate.
The possibilities for a Thanksgiving tablescape that suits your style are endless. Whether you’re planning to stick to traditional fall decor or try something new, I hope this post sparked some ideas for how to keep your feast fabulous!
