Holiday Tabletop Design: Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a great occasion to celebrate and enjoy with family and friends. If you're hosting  Thanksgiving dinner at your home, you want to make sure everything looks great for your guests.  While the food will always be the star, it's also important to design a holiday tabletop that your guests will enjoy and appreciate. 

Centerpieces
For Thanksgiving, it's always nice to decorate your dining table with fall-inspired touches and natural components.  And when it comes to decking out the table, sometimes simplicity is best. You can use autumn jewel tones such as gold, deep orange, and burgundy or go even simpler by sticking with neutrals and only small pops of color.  Beautiful pumpkins and gourds are still readily available and make for a beautiful table scape on their own or accompanied by flowers.  And by simply hollowing them out,  you can create festive vases.  Green or white pumpkins, rather than the traditional orange, add a chic and modern twist.  And don't forget the candles!

Place Settings
A nice way to personalize your table is with charming guest place setting tags.  A fresh pear or pomegranate, sprig of fresh sage tucked into a napkin, or mini pumpkin spray painted gold are all very simple to do, and look amazing.

Kids Table
This idea for the kids table is just the cutest.  Cover the surface with kraft paper and set out little pots of crayons for drawing. Stamp paper for place cards and use a marker to make place settings. And the best thing is the cleanup after, just throw away the tablecloth!
