Thanksgiving Tablescape Inspiration

Are your plans all set and all of your decorations in place, or are you still trying to figure it out.  I still don't have a tablescape finalized for Thanksgiving, so I went back through some of the ones that I've done in the past to see if I could get a little inspiration.

I love pretty floral arrangements whether they are big, small, ornate, simple or anywhere inbetween.  This is a really easy one with hydrangeas and pumpkins.




Sometimes just a half dozen beautiful roses surrounded by a ton of silver and candlelight creates a lovely and elegant table.



Keeping things simple and monochromatic like this green and white table works well for a more informal tablescape.



Then you can do something a little more sophisticated such as black and white, throw in a lot of silver and candles and you have a much more formal and elegant setting.



A large hurricane, berry garland, pinecone potpourri, gourds and pumpkins and this is perfect for an informal gathering or maybe for a brunch that you're hosting.



This was my tablescape a couple of years ago.  The colors are perfect for my house right now, and this just may be what I repeat again.


Mixed faux flowers of all kinds and a few feathers for interest creates an eye catching centerpiece.


I also arranged a berry garland and some ribbon loops to add some extra glitz as it winds through the candles.






So, how is your tablescape coming along?  All done or are you still looking for ideas?

  1. Oh Marty your tables are all stunning, I love the china and elements in all of them and the great ideas for fabulous centerpieces. I specially love the one with the hurricane. I already did mine with gourds as centerpiece and fresh flowers on the sides...it's hard to find the feathers I love, as there are no pheasents here. Thank you for the beautiful inspirations. Lots of hugs,
    FABBY

  8. They are all stunning but I have to say the black and white is my favorite..
    It'll just be 2 of us this year so no big table scape.. maybe just a little something on the tea tray in front of the fire.

  16. Oh wow Marty, you've had so many pretty tables over the years. Each so different, some formal, some a little casual, but all spectacular!

  18. They are all gorgeous, but my favorite is the green and white one. However, my favorite centerpiece is the last one. Can't wait to see what you come up with this year. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

  21. All of yours are so pretty, but I really like the one you think you may repeat. There will only be 6 of us for dinner, so I've decided to use the breakfast room table & keep it less formal. I have my plan all written down in my "Little Holiday Book," and will make it happen Thanksgiving eve. Thanks, Marty, for always being such an inspiration.
