Believe it or not, Thanksgiving is right around the corner! If you’re like us, this year has taught us how to be more appreciative of the sweet things in life! While the COVID-19 crisis makes this year a different Thanksgiving than we’ve had before, there’s still much for which we are grateful. Including beautifully styled holiday tables. Here are some of our favorite Thanksgiving Table Styling Tips.
Pumpkins are Perfection
Pumpkins aren’t just for carving and there’s lots to be said about this fall gourd. It’s a great little decorative accent that can be used in large and small ways–literally. Baby pumpkins adorning picture frames through the house can join in the celebration with larger pumpkins of various colors being used as centerpieces and natural vases for a festive fall look.
Neutral Is Natural…And Beautiful
Neutral colors in your serving pieces can fit right in with a lovely Thanksgiving table full of style. Consider wooden serving pieces with rich tones, earthy oranges and stoneware bowls and glassware that create warm, comfortable settings, and invite conversation. Natural and neutral elements can offer a welcoming vibe that
is beautiful without being over the top.
Metallics Make a Statement
Don’t shy away from pulling out the rich hues of autumn–the golds, coppers, scarlets–they can really shine at a table and add a touch of elegance to even the most basic pieces. Play it up or mute it down; golds and coppers are always in style.
Single Stems Can Say A Lot
Nothing dresses a table up like beautiful fresh flowers and having one single flower or stem on each place setting makes a beautiful statement. Seasonal flowers work the best, as they always seem to have the colors of fall.
Wreaths Around The Table
If you’d like to make a big splash for your Thanksgiving table with little effort, find a simple wrap wreath and use it to frame centerpieces or dishes on your table. Place a simple runner underneath and allow rustic grapevine or twig to adorn the table and look elegant without much fuss.
Natural Napkin Rings Are Stunning
Use natural fall leaves and decorations you find from the autumn trees to craft your own napkin rings around twig, grapevine, or wire. Put those crafting skills to use and harvest the falling acorns and gorgeous leaves to use in your tabletop design.
Bright and White
If you’d like to have your Thanksgiving table shine with elegant simplicity, use basic whites, creams, and crystal. It’s a great look if you’re going minimalist, but also exquisitely delicate at the same time–adding a touch of quiet glamor to any table.
Mix and Match
Thanksgiving is a great time to bring all the different china pieces out. Mixing and matching them can add a look of nostalgic beauty to any table. Pull out your grandmother’s pattern and place it with an overstated charger. Mix it with your everyday plates and your mother’s finest and top with a fall gourd. A unique look that ties family in every setting.
Pops Of Color
Fall is such a gorgeous season, and it’s because the pops of color through greenery can’t help but be noticed. Use those same colors–rich reds and fiery yellows and oranges contrast with basic and elegant china to create a traditional table with pizzazz.

Whatever your table looks like, it’s always going to look better with fresh flowers. A gorgeous centerpiece can highlight even the simplest tables and make the most elegant table picture-perfect.
