Tips for Setting your Thanksgiving Table

Thanksgiving is on its way, so you might be considering how you would like to decorate your fall table. With just a few easy steps, you can get your table looking fall-ready in no time!

Step 1: Pick Your Table Linens

Choose a tablecloth/table runner in your colors of choice. Of course, a palette of red, orange, and yellow is a classic fall color palette that can instantly give your home an autumnal feel. Choose cloth napkins in a neutral color, or one that matches your color scheme of choice.

Step 2: Find Your Flowers

Purchase your flowers the night before or the day of your Thanksgiving event so they are fresh and fabulous. Find flowers that match your color scheme, and try to find fresh greenery to elevate your floral displays. For the table, create short flower arrangements so your guests can have easy conversation. You can even opt to use a flower garland instead of floral arrangements. If you can't find flowers in your specific colors of choice, go for an all-white bouquet.

Step 3: Set Your Table

Place your best china, flatware, and glassware on your table. You can opt to use chargers to elevate your table décor, but if you have limited space on your table, skip them. Fold your napkins nicely and secure them with pretty napkin rings or bows. You can also fold your napkins flat and omit the napkin rings, whatever you think looks prettiest!

Step 4: Add Some Decorative Details

Add a few candles to make your table look inviting. Because it's Thanksgiving, add a few pumpkins to create an even more festive feel. If you can't find pumpkins in your color scheme of choice, find some inexpensive craft pumpkins and paint them with acrylic craft paint in colors that match your scheme. Add a few metallic touches to create even more sophistication.

Now you have an easy step-by-step guide for decorating your Thanksgiving table! Happy decorating!
