15 Inspired Ideas for Your Thanksgiving Table

Can you believe how quickly Thanksgiving is going to be here? Don’t stress about it because you can have your home in gorgeous shape and ready to entertain people very soon. Here are a few tips when it comes to making a beautiful centerpiece to impress your guests.

  • Pumpkins, pumpkins, and more pumpkins! If you don’t have a lot of other décor that’s fine! You can decorate so much with lots and lots of pumpkins. They can be painted or left bright orange. Either way, they make an incredible centerpiece.
  • Other fruits are good too. We also love to decorate with apples and oranges during the Thanksgiving season. They add lots of colors and style to your space, too.
  • Wheat, pinecones, and cotton are brilliant. Go out on a hunt to find any of those items. They all go well with Thanksgiving décor and will help create a lovely centerpiece for you.

    Ugh! Something is wrong with my pin it button! I don’t think I’ve ever had a post where I wanted to pin just about everything on it, but I do here. I already have one of those pilgrim hat thingies, but I wanted the other. I love every single one of these idea. I’ll have to figure out why I can’t pin. Pout.
