Table Décor Necessities
Thanksgiving table decor is a beautiful blend of tradition and creativity, transforming the dining space into a gathering place filled with warmth and festive spirit. At its core, Thanksgiving decor embraces the colors and textures of fall.
A simple but impactful centerpiece could feature a cornucopia, a symbol of abundance. For a more autumnal vibe, consider using wooden crates, burlap runners, or even woven placemats to add texture and depth. The centerpiece of your table is the statement piece. You can make this a big, elaborate item or you can keep it simple.
To elevate the setting, you might incorporate subtle details like mini pumpkins or gourds as place card holders, or scatter small clusters of acorns to the table. Candles are a great addition for adding warmth and ambiance. Napkins can be folded and tied with twine or a napkin ring. The goal is to create a table where each guest feels welcomed and the beauty of the season is reflected in every detail. This is why our Forest Walk collection is the perfect for autumnal ambiance.
Table Setting Tips
When setting the table for any event, it is important to pre-plan and organize your place settings. It is important to organize the table beforehand to make sure there is enough room for the food and guests to have plenty of space.
Consider the flow of the meal and how guests will interact and be able to pass the food adequately if you plan to keep it on the table versus having a designated buffet area. Emphasize the importance of not overcrowding the table with too many decorative elements, allowing space for dishes, conversation, and comfort.
It is also important to consider the balance of items on the table. Have a nice mix of items that vary in height and color. By having a mix of items that flow this creates a visually pleasing table setting. We can help you coordinate items in store while you are shopping to create the perfect table spread- minus the food.
