Welcome guests to a beautiful Thanksgiving tablescape-Fallen Leaves. It’s the perfect time of year to showcase all the earthy and vivid colors of fall. This theme embraces change and the beauty of nature as the days begin to cool, and the sun sets early. Colorful fall leaves inspire joy and happiness and are easy to incorporate into a Thanksgiving tablescape.
Transform your dining table into a festive and joyous gathering place. Start with a fall color palette and nature inspired accents to compliment the theme of fallen leaves.
Fallen Leaves Color Palette
Earthy tones like brown, yellow, and olive green display warmth and comfort. Vibrant colors like orange, purple, and crimson display energy and optimism. Combine both earthy and vibrant colors to create a natural look with a splash of personality. Once you’ve settled on a color palette, select dinnerware, table linens and accents to create a nature inspired look.
Natural Elements
Natural elements fit a rustic country design or a contemporary minimal approach. Adding natural elements into your Thanksgiving dinner party is a simple way to create a stunning tablescape. Dinner plates and serving dishes in neutral colors look natural. Pick a warm white or pale-yellow for dinnerware. The centerpiece and table accents add a natural element with vibrant fall colors like orange and red.
Dinner plates can be dressed up by using a wooden charger or colorful placemat. A black checkered tablecloth makes the colors of fallen leaves “pop”. It also adds a natural flair to the table setting, when paired with solid napkins and gold flatware. Decorative accents like wood ornaments or dried flowers also add natural elements to the tablescape.
The Centerpiece
If you’re hosting a large Thanksgiving dinner, an asymmetrical table centerpiece will draw the eye from each guest’s seat. Fill a large vintage vase with a mixture of fall leaves and foliage. Add a sprig of holly or fir for a pop of color.
For a small tablescape, use a woven tray as a vessel for a display of dried flowers and gourds. Add a sprig of holly, thyme, or rosemary for more color and texture.
Another centerpiece that coordinates beautifully with the fallen leaves theme is made by Lego. This dried flower centerpiece fits in great with a small tablescape. It’s easy to build and a fun activity the whole family can do together.
Fallen Leaves-Spread Room to Room
Decorate other areas in your home using the same theme as your Thanksgiving tablescape-Fallen Leaves. Use a small mason jar to hold a single stem of a popular autumn flower or distribute bud vases with petite arrangements around different areas room to room.
