Thanksgiving Table Decorating Ideas 

Thanksgiving holidays are one the most cherished ones.

Family and friends get together for a great feast and fun – and you want to make everything just perfect and very special.

One of the things is how to best decorate your table – and there is never enough ideas!

I have put together a list of how to and what to – hope that it will help to make your Thanksgiving very special.

You can bring the beauty of the season into your home – use the colours, foliage and colourful fruits of the season – and you will set a spectacular Thanksgiving table in no time!

Making your Thanksgiving table beautiful and memorable doesn’t have to be difficult – here are some ideas that are easy to follow:

• Use autumn coloured candles – you can set them in a wooden or rustic metal candle holders and use them for your centerpiece along with fall foliage, wheat springs, clusters of berries, mini pumpkins or even seasonal vegetables.
• Use hollowed-out pumpkin instead of a vase to put flowers into. You can also enrich this kind of centerpiece by adding berries, wheat or leaves around the base.
• Set the table with tablecloth, runner, placemats and napkins – choose fall colours and use prints very sparingly, avoiding making your table look too busy. Always keep you focus on the centrepiece.
• You can use napkin rings, keeping in the fall theme in colours and style, or you can fold your napkins into shapes instead of just laying them flat.
• Choosing your dishes can go either way – you can use fall colours if you wish – personally I prefer using white dishes and focusing colours into the decor.
• If you need to make place cards, consider collecting good size leaves, rinsing them and patting them dry. Then you can write each guest’s name on each leave with a black felt-tip pen and place the leaf in centre of each setting.
