Thanksgiving Table Setting Ideas

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! The best part of Thanksgiving is the family, food and relaxation. My mom is the best at setting an elegant and beautiful table for the family to enjoy. I have always loved finding new and unique pieces to add to the table. Each holiday or party gives you the chance to let your creativity flow with a fun table to enjoy the festivities. I've prepared two different table setting ideas. The first is modern and doesn't scream Thanksgiving. The second is a rustic, relaxed look. The fall is a beautiful time of year with the color of leaves changing so go hiking or running outdoors to become inspired by the changing of seasons. Hope you enjoy these ideas!

  1. Hey Christa! I love checking in with your blog every now and then... Just have to say, Drew and I hosted Thanksgiving at our house this year, and my Thanksgiving table featured the brown/red/orange Eastleigh runner in your "Rustic" Thanksgiving decoration list! I was so excited! I did a clear glass hurricane with pinecones in it and pumpkin orange candles. We had white plates with a gold trim and did red paper napkins (buffet style). Congrats on your half marathon! Hope you're doing great :)
