So next, I’ll be sharing several ideas for creating a Thanksgiving table setting that will be the “hostest with the mostest”!
Choose Fall Colors For Your Thanksgiving Table
Create an unforgettable Thanksgiving table setting by choosing gorgeous autumn colors for your guests dining experience. Fall is known for the stunning colors found in natures pallet. Beautiful and rich, colors like plums, maroons, rust, reds, orange, golds, browns and greens like olive can add depth and earthiness to your table. More subtle colors like mauve, cream, beige, off white, and metals (gold and copper) can provide a gentle embrace like your favorite cashmere sweater.
Add Texture To Your Table Setting
Secondly, think about texture in your your fall decorating because incorporating different textures brings visual interest. To create a beautiful Thanksgiving table setting add in natural items with a variety of textures such as pumpkins, apples, pomegranates, leaves, flowers, wooden or woven elements. You can also bring in different textures with the use of napkins, napkin rings, placemats, or dishes. By adding in a variety of elements for their textures, whether real or fake, will help take your Thanksgiving table to the next level.
Lit Up With Lights
Lastly, adding in candles or other lights, such as a string of mini lights, to your Thanksgiving table setting is a must! Lit candles brings a glowing warmth to the scene. Lights on the table are a wonderful way to call your guests attention to the dining table. It let’s them know that this gathering is something special. Lighting on the table also highlights the decorations, food, or flowers set across the table. Lite some candles as your final step in setting the mood for your holiday festivities.
