Fall is full of beautiful colors, crisp air and bountiful tables, making it the perfect time to put together some fall table settings to enjoy the season.

Pumpkin Craze

We all know how pumpkins are the talk of the town when summer comes to an end. Not only are they great for cooking and carving, but they also make for great table decor. You can use real or fake pumpkins as a classic centerpiece that can also be made modern. Many people will buy small plastic pumpkins and paint them white, black or metallic, to match their own personality and give a unique twist on a traditional piece.

Crimson and Florals

We often see orange, red, brown or cream when it comes to fall, but the season is much more colorful than that! Try adding crimson floral pieces or crimson place settings to your table in order to give a richer feeling and stand out from the crowd. Crimson is also a great option because it can be paired with neutral and bright colors, depending on the atmosphere you are trying to create.

Apples and Orchards

Besides the pumpkin, another food that gets a lot of attention around the fall season is apples. From apple cider to bobbing for apples, this fruit is a seasonal favorite, so why not use them in your table setting? You can take bright red apples and place them in clear containers, on tiers or just on the table itself to make a great presentation. To add to the look, use some tree leaves or wooden place settings. 

Wheat Stalk

Wheat stalks add a lot of texture to a table and are a neutral color so they can go with almost anything! You can easily find “real” looking wheat at any craft or home decor store and make it your own to make it match your fall theme. Different heights of the stalks can also make for a great visual by adding dimension and different sized holders to the table.

Bowl of Thanks

During this time of year, we often try to be grateful for all the blessings we have in life. A great way to display this tradition is having your family or close friends write down just one or a few words describing what they are thankful for and then placing them in a large bowl, used as your centerpiece. You can fill the bowl with foliage or large fall staples such as gourds, acorns or wood pieces and place the written pieces on top for all to see.

As you sit around the table and take in your hard work and elegant table, enjoy the time with family, friends and good food- which is what fall is really all about!

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and for so many of us it marks the beginning of the most wonderful time of year: the holiday season! But if you’re hosting a Thanksgiving meal at your home, it can get easy to get caught up in wanting your table to be decorated as tastefully and beautifully as possible. 

Whether this is your first time hosting Thanksgiving dinner or your twentieth, you’ll love to see some examples of beautiful table setting ideas. Here’s our guide to creating a great table setting this Thanksgiving holiday.

Classic American

Since Thanksgiving is a holiday as old as America itself, it’s only fitting to create a table setting with classic American themes. Create a tablescape themed after colonial America, with dishware that your grandparents and great-grandparents would have had handed down to them. Think of rich colors, Toile, gorgeous metals and china, and of course turkeys to really make this table setting pop.

Modern farmhouse style

If you’re going for a more contemporary style, why not try a modern farmhouse look? This is very trendy right now in home decor, but the simple colors and wood accents give it a modern twist. Think of how Joanna Gaines would decorate her table using her own Magnolia style and replicate that. 

Mix and match thrifted pieces

If this is your first time hosting a large Thanksgiving dinner in your home, don’t feel overwhelmed if you don’t think you have enough dishware and decor to satisfy a table full of guests. Instead, go for a more thrifted look. Hit up your local second hand shop and find mis-matched china and dishware. This will give your tablescape a very vintage feel, and you won’t have to worry about spending too much money on expensive table settings for your first Thanksgiving.

Play with color

Fall is such a colorful time of year, so why not add some bright colors to your tables? Play with accents of red, orange, yellow, brown, and even gold throughout the table. You can even mix and match the colors used in your decor by picking up various fall-colored dishware and decor pieces. Place them together to create a collage of fall colors to make your table look like a forest of fall foliage.

When in doubt, go for pumpkins

What screams fall more than pumpkins? Go for a neutral base for your color scheme by using your typical dishes, silverware, and napkins that you use everyday, and add some fall accents to your tablescape by picking up some pumpkins of varying sizes at your local market or pumpkin patch. Use miniature pumpkins as place cards by writing each guest’s name on the pumpkins in permanent marker, and scatter larger pumpkins and gourds throughout the table as decorations.
