18 Beautiful Thanksgiving Table Ideas for a Simple Holiday<\/strong><\/h2>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”RFN table 1 – gold leaves” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Add touches of gold for elegant Thanksgiving table decor ideas.<\/em><\/h3>\n
What do you put in the middle of the table for Thanksgiving?<\/h3>\n
Centerpieces can be so fun to create! \u00a0For this Thanksgiving table decor idea, I added simple touches of gold with my flatware, thrifted brass candlesticks, and some pretty gold leaf stems from the dollar spot. \u00a0On their own, they would feel a little skimpy for the table. \u00a0However, I added them to a full base of winter greens.<\/p>\n
Next, I added a few pheasant feathers for an extra Thanksgiving touch. \u00a0Lastly, I spread some small, dried gourds throughout the centerpiece.<\/p>\n
Here’s what I used to create this simple, yet elegant, Thanksgiving table decor idea:<\/em><\/h3>\n
\n
- One 60″ realistic pine garland<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- One real touch eucalyptus garland<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- (substitute THESE eucalyptus stems<\/strong><\/span><\/a> if the garland is sold out! \u00a0I have both and they are both really realistic and beautiful!)<\/li>\n
- One pack of pheasant feathers<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- Mini dried gourds<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- Brass candlesticks<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- Battery-operated taper candles with a remote and timer<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- Light tan\/taupe, detailed-edge napkins<\/a><\/strong><\/span> (only $10 for a pack of 4!)<\/li>\n
- Matte gold flatware<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- Gauzy, ivory table runner<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Add touches of whimsy with vintage pieces for your Thanksgiving table decor ideas!<\/em><\/h3>\n
This tablescape was so fun to create with some of my favorite vintage pieces. \u00a0Mixing metals, such as copper, silver, and brass, is a great way to bring those vintage looks and add a cozy look to the table with the reflective quality of the metal too!<\/p>\n
To create this table, I used the same base of greenery: realistic pine and eucalyptus.<\/strong> \u00a0Next, I added vintage vessels in copper and silver. \u00a0I tucked in brass candlesticks and add some whimsy with uniquely shaped dried gourds.<\/p>\n
You could create the same look with pumpkins too!<\/p>\n
For extra elegance, I used an extra long table runner and a 180″ pine garland. \u00a0I needed 3 eucalyptus garlands for this tablescape but I think it was worth the effort! \u00a0The extra length on the ends adds a really dramatic and elegant look!<\/p>\n
To dress up the flatware in a really simple way, I tied this velvet ribbon<\/a><\/strong><\/span> around each set. \u00a0The little details add so much to the tablescapes you create!<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”RFN table 2 – Friendsgiving with gourds and feathers” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Here’s what you need to create this tablescape:<\/em><\/h3>\n
\n
- One 180″ realistic pine garland<\/a><\/strong><\/span> (or a few shorter garlands)<\/li>\n
- Three real touch eucalyptus garlands<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>or a bunch of stems (As we get closer to the holiday seasons, the eucalyptus keeps going in and out of stock, so sign up for notifications or order the matching stems! \u00a0And then grab it when you can!)<\/li>\n
- Vintage or thrifted vessels in copper and silver<\/li>\n
- Dried gourds<\/li>\n
- Pheasant feathers<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- Velvet ribbon<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- Woven placemats\/chargers<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- Gold battery operated pillar candles in glass<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- Matte gold flatware<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- Copper mugs<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- Extra long gauzy table runner<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- Gauzy ivory dinner napkins<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Are you noticing some repeat items from the first tablescape? \u00a0Of course! \u00a0In fact, this is one of my favorite ways to create budget-friendly table settings. \u00a0I often reuse the same pieces, mixing and matching them a little differently and adding in different inexpensive accessories.<\/p>\n
Pro Tip: Invest in neutral basics that can be used year round!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Incorporate velvet into your\u00a0Thanksgiving table decor ideas for an elegant look.<\/i><\/h3>\n
Since November is so late into the season and tends to blend right into the winter months, velvet is a perfect choice of material to add some elegance to your Thanksgiving table decor ideas.<\/p>\n
Even though we are actually pretty informal for our holiday dinners, I love for our Thanksgiving dinner to have some elegant touches<\/strong>. \u00a0At the same time, it’s important for the table to be comfortable and inviting for everyone!<\/p>\n
For this Thanksgiving table decor, I combined winter greenery and velvet pumpkins. \u00a0This allows for a low centerpiece where everyone can see the family and friends across from them. \u00a0At the same time, however, it feels full and elegantly layered.<\/p>\n
Here’s what I used to create this table:<\/em><\/h3>\n
\n
- Realistic winter greenery<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- Layered with realistic eucalyptus garland<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- Velvet pumpkins<\/a><\/strong><\/span> (add feathers to them for a little extra!)<\/li>\n
- Brass candlesticks<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- Battery-operated taper candles<\/strong><\/span><\/a> (on a timer with a remote)<\/li>\n
- OR real taper candles (I prefer the dripless and smokeless ones!)<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- Matte gold flatware<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- Simple, white dishes<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- Neutral napkins<\/strong><\/span><\/a> (I’ve had mine for several years but THESE<\/a><\/strong><\/span> would give you a similar look and are budget-friendly too!)<\/li>\n
- Realistic faux cedar<\/strong><\/span><\/a> napkin rings (mine are old but you could use these sprigs for a similar look!)<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- Gold brass chargers<\/a><\/strong><\/span> (if you’re hosting a large gathering, check the dollar store for plastic ones!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Here are a few ways you could use velvet on your Thanksgiving table:<\/h3>\n
\n

- Use velvet pumpkins, like THESE,<\/strong><\/span><\/a> in your centerpiece<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
