We may still be in the dog days of summer, but don’t kid yourself – autumn is quickly approaching. And that means entertaining season is upon us. It’s time for cocktail parties, charcuterie boards and family dinners, starting with the grand daddy of them all, Thanksgiving.
If you’re going to be hosting dinner this year it’s not too early to start thinking about Thanksgiving table decor. Are you going to go rustic or elegant? Opulent or simple? Modern or traditional? It’s a great opportunity to have some fun and impress your guests, but do be careful because it doesn’t take much for a Thanksgiving table to become cluttered and messy looking.
If you’re not sure where to start check out some of our favorite inspiration pics from Instagram. It may help, or quite frankly it may make things worse, because once you’ve looked at these you’ll see that there’s no end to way you can dress up your table!
Thanksgiving Table Decor Ideas
As far as we’re concerned Casa De Perrin has THE BEST Instagram account for table decor inspiration – which is why we’ve included three of their pics in this list. If you’re not following them yet we highly suggest you get on it. The fist one impressed us right away with its delicate opulence. The china is simply stunning on it’s own, but accented with big blooms in fall colours – breathtaking.
We’ve seen this picture floating across Pinterest for a little while and we were so happy to finally find the original source. The chalky mini pumpkins are adorable and they look perfect agains the rustic wood table. Since our dining table is similar this is a look we might try to emulate.
The simplicity of this table decor is what’s got us really thinking. The chalky blue plates accented with gold and surrounded by simple greenery is stunning. It’s the prefect backdrop for fall dishes like turkey and cranberry sauce. For us, the way the food plays into a table setting is very important.
This cute table takes a bit of a summery approach to Thanksgiving – great for when the weather is still warm on Fall’s special day. This one is great because it’s not so structured – everything is tied together through color, but it’s a bit more relaxed when it comes to placement.
Here’s something for those of you who like to take a clean and fresh approach to fall. You can’t go wrong with white pumpkins!
And for the rustic lovers out there (including us!) there’s this. Copper, candles, pumpkins, and bark candles. If this doesn’t say Thanksgiving, what does?
