It is no secret that I am not one to embrace traditional holiday decor. Rather than go with customary pumpkins, turkeys or snowmen, I prefer to mix conventional touches in with surprising elements. With that in mind, I shared inspiration for elegant and natural Thanksgiving decor two weeks ago. Now with Thanksgiving Day just one short week away, it’s time to turn our attention to creating the perfect unique Thanksgiving tablescape. While I am not hosting Thanksgiving or a Friendsgiving celebration this year due to our jam packed travel and work schedules, I am still dreaming up all kinds of ways to adorn my fantasy table.
You’ll note that there is a common theme of richly colored florals and fruits accented by candles carried throughout these photos. That particular combination has a way of dressing up even the most casual of tables. With the addition of metallic touches and some elegant glassware and flatware, you can easily transform your every day dinner table into a swoon-worthy Thanksgiving tablescape.
My favorite table of the bunch. The rich fall florals and harvest themed fruit are spiced up by stunning gray candlesticks at this outdoor feast found on Happy Wedd.
The traditional addition of pumpkins on this table via The Turquoise Home anchors the bright, rich florals. Don’t those pumpkins and glass candle holders have DIY written all over them?
Leave it to Erin Hiemstra of Apartment 34 to create the perfect mishmash of a traditional and modern Thanksgiving table. This gorgeous table feels perfectly approachable while still being a feast for the eyes.
The centerpieces used on this tablescape via Domino are a nod to traditional harvest-themed decor while the blue gray tablecloth adds an unexpected dose of soothing color. The gold plates dress up the table and tie in with the centerpieces perfectly.
This cheery flora arrangement and the bright candles make this table found on Style Me Pretty feel like the happiest of Thanksgiving tables.
