You should begin by deciding what kind of atmosphere you would like your Thanksgiving table to have. There are many options to choose from, but if you are on a budget, we would highly recommand going for a rustic look. The style is heavily inspired by country side life and it is an excellent way of celebrating the many bounties of fall. Plus it’s very easy to create – you will only need natural seasonal materials such as pumpkins, gourds, pinecones, conkers, and fall leaves, combined with several candles. Simply place the candles in the middle of your Thanksgiving table and surround them with small pumpkins, colorful leaves and seasonal fruit and vegetables.

Those of you who would like their rustic style Thanksgiving table decorations to have a more glamorous feel, can decorate some of the pumpkins, gourds or pinecones with gold spray paint. And if you want to include a mysterious and magical woodland touch to the dining room decor can add a few faux antlers and some string lights.

Another really creative and easy decorative idea is to use a pumpkin as a vase. Simply purchase a large pumpkin, hollow it out, fill it with water and add a bouquet of flowers in warm, earthy thones, such as yellow, orange and dark red. Te end result makes an excellent center piece that is both stylishly chic and inspired by nature.

We love this gorgeous white and gold setup, with faux antlers, green leaves and fairy lights!
