Chloe Taylor Right after Halloween, and practically right before Christmas, Thanksgiving is many people’s favorite holiday. It’s the time of the year where people get together with their families to celebrate and appreciate the blessing of the harvest and the year that’s almost behind them.
This time of the year is also well-known for crisp weather, out-of-this-world feasts people prepare for their families and amazing fall decor. That being said, we present you a few Thanksgiving table decor ideas that are sure to wow your guests this Thanksgiving.
Tree bark and moss

This Thanksgiving create a beautiful centerpiece with a tree bark and some fresh moss. Simply get an interesting-looking piece of tree bark covered in moss, or gently harvest the moss off of another tree. Arrange it in the center of your table by scattering the moss on the piece of tree bark and adding a few branches of so-called Winter King or Cotoneaster, as well as some pretty dry leaves, to give the decoration some dimension and texture. You can even add a couple of Birch bark candles to literally light up the atmosphere. Allow Nature to help you out with this year’s table centerpiece and enjoy it in its full glory.

For this assembly, you’ll need a big pumpkin, some dry corn on the cob, a big natural wood coaster, chestnuts and walnuts, dry leaves and a small, potted Chrysanthemums. First, carve out the pumpkin and remove the insides. Next, place a potted Mum inside and place the pumpkin on a big, natural wood coaster you’ve previously covered with dry leaves. Finally, arrange corn, walnuts and chestnuts around the pumpkin and enjoy your new stunning, natural centerpiece that will look equally beautiful from all sides.
An element of surprise

Now, when talking about Thanksgiving decorations, we all automatically envision lots of browns, oranges, reds and yellows. However, you can put a new twist on the color theme by going for a coastal Thanksgiving design. Sounds confusing? Well, instead of the above-mentioned colors, go for blues, grays, whites and beige. Place a burlap table runner at the center of the table, following the longer side. Next, in the middle of the table arrange small white pumpkins, acorns, dry olive tree branches, tiny starfish and various other shells according to your liking. Top it all off by using light blue plates covered with striped, blue and white table napkins and placing a tiny white pumpkin in the middle of every plate.
Simple, yet effective

Finally, the simplest decor sometimes works best. This year, instead of overcrowding your table with both the decor and various meals, let the meals themselves act as decor and help them out just a bit. First, get a plaid tablecloth in the typical autumn hues. Next, arrange simple white plates and table napkins on top of it. Place a few thick white candles on natural wood coasters throughout the tabletop before you bring the food out. Finally, carefully arrange every meal on a separate – preferably a bit decorative – serving plate and decorate it further with various aromatic herbs such as rosemary, thyme and basil. Not only will this setting look amazing, but it will smell amazing as well.
As you can see, this year for Thanksgiving you can let your imagination run wild and surprise your guests by creating an unconventional – but still very beautiful – centerpiece everyone is sure to remember for many years to come.
Besides, there are no rules regarding what you can and can’t do when festive decorations are concerned, and even if there were, remember that some rules are meant to be broken. So, you do you, because, at the end of the day, expressing your own personal taste is the best way to create a breathtaking decor.
