DIY Thanksgiving Tablescapes
Birds of a Feather
This one is low effort, big impact. Place a feather and seed packet over each setting and add a pop of floral with your grandmother’s vintage napkins. Bonus points: finish it off with a cheesecloth runner.
Harvest
Bring the bounty indoors. Use a batch of mini pumpkins to create an effortless cascade. Finish off with some fresh eucalyptus that you pick up from the grocery store.
Farmer’s Market
While you are out picking up those last minute ingredients, grab some extra artichokes, basil, carrots, red potato, and thyme. Deck out your table with them Thursday and use them in a recipe later.
Pumpkin + Succulent
Carve out the center of a white mini pumpkin and use to pot a small succulent. These double as a personable detail and take-home favor!
Sophisticated Autumn
Use fresh-cut plums (or your other favorite fruit) and black tapers to create a simple, yet moody centerpiece.
Happy planning! We wish you and yours a happy Thanksgiving.
