Can you think of anything better than eating your body weight in turkey, stuffing and pie and washing it down with some prime gravy? All within the company of your family and friends. We couldn’t think of a better bonding experience than falling into a food coma together. If you’re hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year (may the odds be ever in your favor) here are some ways to wow your family with your Thanksgiving table setting!
one
Bust Out That Plaid!
This may seem like a given but plaid is always a tasteful trend in Fall. It screams cozy vibes. If you can’t find a plaid tablecloth with the colours you like, try a scarf or blanket! Or include plaid napkins. This is the perfect foundation for your table setting.
two
Sprinkle the Beauty of Fall on Your Table
A great way to bring some of the beautiful fall colours to your table is to use what’s outside your door! Fill your table with small pumpkins, autumn leaves, fruits, greenery, or flowers.
three
Try a Different Colour Palette
Don’t feel restricted to only using shades of red, orange or yellow as your colour palette. If you prefer to use a more neutral colour palette, try incorporating white pumpkins, black and white plaid, and greenery. Pairing your table setting with a burlap runner can help tie in that rustic thanksgiving aesthetic.

Amp Up Your Rustic Side with Vintage Pieces
If you’re lucky enough to have plates, cutlery or décor passed down to you, use it! It creates that personal touch your family will love. Mix your vintage pieces with rustic objects such as wood cookies, burlap and pinecones!

A Dash of Gold
Gold will take your Thanksgiving table setting to a whole other level. Gold cutlery is like the bow on top… but it can be a very expensive bow. If you have your eyes set on gold cutlery, check out thrift stores and yard sales. If you want cheaper ways to showcase gold pieces, take a look at candle holders, chargers, painted pumpkins or cups!
There are so many different ways to decorate your table for Thanksgiving. Don’t be afraid to bring a personal touch to your décor. Oh, and don’t forget to enjoy the day with your family because that’s what matters most.
