Thanksgiving Table Decorations & Ideas

by Sarah Jane Dunaway

I just love Thanksgiving! Honestly, any excuse to spend all day cooking is always a favorite in my book, but Thanksgiving is so much more than that. It’s a wonderful time to gather with family and friends and celebrate all that we have and are thankful for in this life. Thanksgiving is always a day I get to enjoy doing what I love most–planning menus, setting up table arrangements and spending the day in the kitchen with my mother as we whip up traditional family favorites like her Brussels Sprouts with Pecans and my Walnut Pumpkin Pie. To help you plan out your Thanksgiving holiday, I was inspired to share some of my favorite arrangements for the Thanksgiving Table.

Honestly, you can never go wrong with gold, especially when it comes to the Thanksgiving Table or other holiday dinner tables. Spray painting your leftover pumpkins with gold spray paint is such an easy way to create fresh new centerpiece options, while reusing materials you might otherwise be ready to toss.

I’m so in love with this rustic table featuring orange accents and deep purple napkins. The contract is beautiful and the fullness of the centerpiece really adds a richness to the table setting.

You can never go wrong with pumpkins, especially when it comes to the Thanksgiving table! I love that both of these ideas ofer a monochromatic color scheme, using reds and oranges in the left image and greens in the right image.

Both of these table arrangements are a little less Thanksgiving-focused, and offer more of a fall-feel, utilizing fresh flowers and other in-season materials.
