10 Gorgeous Thanksgiving Table Decor Ideas to Try

For a sentimental (and stylish) touch, take a page from Lauren Saylor and set a card at each place setting, have guests write what they’re thankful for and read aloud at the end of the evening.

Take a page from Marina Delio and keep sightlines open and conversation flowing by opting for a sprinkling of fall fruits (like persimmon, pumpkin and pomegranate) in lieu of floral arrangements.

Sometimes the smallest detail makes a world of difference. Example A: Christina Williams added gold-dipped leaves to her simple napkin presentation for the loveliest pop of bling.

Abby Capalbo’s favorite T-Day trick is to stick to a monochrome color palette (bring on the white pumpkins!), which allows for the colors of the harvest meal to pop. Plus, since it’s somewhat unexpected, your guests haven’t seen it a million times before.

Yes, formal place settings are Nana-approved and all, but let’s try for something more spirited. We love Lindsey Brunk’s whimsical fan presentation accented by simple “thankful” place cards.

Erin Sousa of The Glitter Guide affixed raw-edged ribbon and simple script place cards to her silverware settings, and we will officially be using this trick for every dinner party in 2018.

For rustic drama, take a cue from Erin Hiemstra and line your table with slender blooms and candlesticks of varying heights. Bonus points: Going for bud vases will save major buckage in the blooms department.

We’re swooning for the twine-wrapped baguettes accenting the place settings at Taylor-Rae Harrold’s Thanksgiving table. The best part about this touch? Edibleness.

For a luxe detail, Rachel Hollis swears by grouping two napkins together. Unnecessary? Totally—but a super beautiful way to add layer, color and texture to your tabletop.

Why not elevate the crown jewel of Turkey Day, too? Alyssa Rosenheck styles her turkey with seeded eucalyptus and fresh lavender (her greenery go-tos). Have you ever seen such a pretty presentation?
