Fall is in full swing which means there is only a few weeks before it’s Thanksgiving.
Best not to leave your decorations until the last minute.
I know that everyone who hosts Thanksgiving wants their table to look festive and beautiful.
But there are so many decorations out there it can be a little intimidating to choose what’s best.
This is why I have gathered some options, that I believe are amazing and don’t cost a fortune.
All of your friends and family will be giving you compliments if you choose some of the options below.
Tips on how to decorate your table:
- Choose a 2 main colours to stick to – you don’t want to overpower your table with too many colours. It would be too distracting and unpleasant for your guests.
- Incorporate more muted tones with a few pops of vivid colours– make sure the majority of the colours on your table are more neutral toned and only have a few pops of colour (example- flowers, napkins, cutlery, fake pumpkins)
- Add nature items– things like pumpkins, flowers, leaves, pine cones, berries go really well on a Thanksgiving table. It doesn’t matter whether they are real or fake, the atmosphere that they bring would be equally as good.
- Matching dinnerware and cutlery – this one is not a must but having dinnerware and cutlery that have similar colours and patterns will make your table a lot more cohesive.
- Add candles– candles are what brings everything together! Whether you have small candles or tall candle holders, they would bring a cosiness and warmth to your table. Definitely a must!
