Celebrate, Celebrate, Celebrate > Thanksgiving Table Decor, Update!

Whew! What a Thanksgiving holiday! I hope all of you wonderful glossy readers had an amazing Thanksgiving, just as we did. It was all a blur with yummy food, turkey hats, gourmet beef jerky, and screams of, "Ewww, mom has her hand in the turkey's butt!" Oh, and there was some dancing and singing going on too. It was a typical Chaos and Gloss 3 ring circus, I mean holiday, and it was great!

Here are some pictures of what I came up with for this years Thanksgiving centerpiece and table decorations, as promised:

My color palette for this year was brown, bronze, gold, and cream. I got the gold and bronze garland from my favorite store, Hobby Lobby (otherwise know as the Crafter's Disneyland), as well as the feather balls.

I added in some pops of color with the robin's blue goblets and the red roses in the centerpiece.

Then I added in some feathers that I had hand plucked from my turkey...
Ok, no, not really. But I could.
*Note-I also had a small fire feature going on in my centerpiece as one of the candles lit a piece of the garland on fire. It was big excitement, but for safety's sake, move those candles back!

I hope everyone had a great day of giving thanks and spending time with all the people who love them.

Celebrate, Celebrate, Celebrate > Thanksgiving Table Decor

I'm about to get real ladies, so prepare yourselves...I do not like to decorate my table on Thanksgiving! There. I said it. Well...that's not really the whole truth. Really what I don't like is the pressure to have an "amazing tablescape that enhances the color and experience of the food's presentation"(that was straight from House Beautiful, where do these people find the time?!).

After several days and several hours of running around like a crazed woman, for all my Thanksgiving preparations, my table decor ranks last on my list, right down there with giving the dog a bath.

But I do love to decorate and sad looking tables are no fun at a party, so I found some great, budget friendly, and easy Thanksgiving decor; that will make you and your green bean casserole, look like a rock star!

Green apples and an a cute assortment of pumpkins. Love the ruffled chair bands! Check the sideboard.

Simple and fragrant bunches of sage leaf.

Using metallic sprayed gourds and white pumpkins. Gorgeous!

Simple berry vine and pear place settings

{Williams Sonoma}

Love the rustic feel of this one. You could even put the husks in the inside of the hurricane vase and use flameless candles.



{Pottery Barn}

Or how about changing it up and using some non traditional colors

{Full House}

 

Here's another with the hurricanes, this time with colorful fall leaves (and I'm assuming flameless candles!)

Or go whimiscal with family photos and faux pumpkin pie place settings

{One Charming Party}

Speaking of whimiscal, check out this cute and fun owl theme. Love the branch placecards.

{Hostess with the Mostess}

Love. Love. Love the antlers! This is a great unique version of the Thanksgiving table.

Remember to make it fun and easy! I hope I gave you some great inspiration. I will show you what I came up with for mine after Thanksgiving.
