Thanksgiving Table Setting Ideas

My daughter, Sarah and I came up with a few Thanksgiving table setting ideas this year.  We love coming up with beautiful table setting ideas.  We wanted to show you how you can decorate your Thanksgiving table beautifully and inexpensively!

Natural Thanksgiving Table Setting Ideas

Sarah and I really wanted our Thanksgiving decorations to have a natural and very earthy feel to them.  So, we also included this style in our table setting ideas.  We started with using craft paper for our Thanksgiving table runner.  We drew a design on the end of the runner with a black permanent marker.  This would be a great time to included little children.  They can draw their own designs, or you can have them write what they are thankful for.

Next, we added a galvanized charger. We had a lot of brown tones in the design, so using the galvanized charger helped to bring a reflective element to the table.   Next, we placed a unique wood plate on top.  The wood plate and galvanized charger were a perfect marriage.

Instead of a napkin, we used a dish towel from the Hearth and Home collection.  The yellow and teal colors in the dish towel are beautiful! We placed a gray bowl on top of the dish towel, and then set a large faux acorn inside.  The texture and design of the acorn completed this place setting.

Thanksgiving Centerpiece Idea

Now, let’s chat about the Thanksgiving Centerpiece.  This may look difficult, but I promise it was easy!  For the center of the table, we used a galvanized cake plate.  On top, we placed a speckled faux white pumpkin.

Creating the Centerpiece Garland

  To create the garland, we used Magnolia picks!  Easy!

To make this faux garland, start with your Magnolia stems at the base of the cake stand, and lay each pick on top of each other making sure to hide the stems.  Place more picks around the base of the cake stand, and then layer out, thinning the picks as you go.

This was such an easy and inexpensive Thanksgiving table setting idea! It has a very natural and cozy look.  I love this look so much that I am keeping my table set all through the fall season!
