Easy Thanksgiving Table Decorations for a Fabulous Feast

The turkey is no doubt important on Thanksgiving Day. However, the table is where loved ones gather around, and the time you spend decorating your holiday table will allow them to feel how thankful you are for each one. So, join us as we show off these easy Thanksgiving table decorations and thanksgiving tablescapes.

At our house, most major holidays are celebrated by preparing lots of food. After spending a day cooking, easy Thanksgiving table decorations are a must. So weeks before the event, I searched for simple festive table decor ideas.

I find that pumpkins are used in almost every Thanksgiving tablescape centerpiece. They might take center stage, but they don't steal the show. Table runners, napkins, and chargers also play a big part in adding color and texture.

Since I was searching for ideas then, you might like to see the Thanksgiving tables I found most inspiring and a few of my designs from years past.

Thanksgiving Tablescapes

Let's begin by talking about an overall theme for these Thanksgiving decorations. I was looking for a country farmhouse look. A simple fall centerpiece and decorations using dishes and table setting items I already have around my home but gorgeous DIY Thanksgiving centerpieces.

Now beginning with pumpkins as centerpieces and buffalo check is a great place to start.

Thanksgiving Pie Centerpiece

Jenny's Thanksgiving tablescape has beautiful colors! They aren't the traditional colors of fall but are more muted. The browns in the crate and the woven chargers are lighter. The oranges are gorgeous peaches and corals. And white pieces lighten up the whole set.

I particularly love the pumpkin pies in the place settings. Adding one pumpkin pie to each place setting provides the dessert and makes a cute decoration. You will see this idea on one of my tables at the end of this post.
