Thanksgiving Dinner Table Ideas

How do you decorate your table for Thanksgiving?  

We typically have so much food that there is never enough room for any centerpieces or other decoration.  Maybe one of these years we will do a buffet so there can be more room on the table for something pretty.  

Here are some beautiful Thanksgiving tablescapes that caught my eye this year.

Love the idea of using pumpkins, fresh fruit or vegetables in the design.

Decorating With Pumpkins

I am sure I have said this before, but the Fall is my FAVORITE season.  I love the weather, the colors of the leaves, the wardrobe, and also the PUMPKINS!  Since, Joel and I have decided to plan our wedding for the Fall of 2013, I've been scouring magazines and blogs looking for ideas to incorporate for a beautiful Fall wedding.  One thing I have found to be such a great idea is using pumpkins as decoration. 

I saw this great idea in The Knot Magazine.  Carving pumpkins with their names is such a simple and cute idea.  It is the perfect backdrop for their Candy Bar.

I love this idea from Ceci Style.  Pumpkins as place cards are such a cute idea.  And I love how they painted these mini pumpkins silver to create a "Luxe Look."

I love the amazing detail of this Stenciled Pumpkin that I saw on Masterpiece Wedding.  Check out Better Homes & Gardens to learn how to make your own.

Then, I fell in love with this wedding that I saw on Grey Likes Weddings.  I love the color palette

that they used, so perfect for the fall! And the pumpkins are the perfect touch.  I also love how

they used pumpkins as table numbers, check them out here.

I love these sparkly, glittery pumpkins that I saw on The Glitter Guide.  They are so much fun and so cute to use as decoration at a wedding or just at home.  Learn how to make them here.

O wow, how I love white pumpkins.  They are the perfect touch for an elegant fall wedding. They are so pretty! I love how they were used in this beautiful wedding on Hello to Hitched.  To see even more pictures check out the full wedding on The Bridal Bar.

I cannot get enough of this amazing Autumn Inspiration Shoot on Hey Gorgeous Events blog.  It is so pretty and seasonal without being too over the top! Love the color combo of gold and pink with the white and gold mini pumpkins, amazing!

Baseball Inspired Tablescape

With Opening Day coming up on Thursday, I thought this was the perfect find!

I am so excited about the upcoming season! Yes, these pictures are from inside Fenway and while I am not a Red Sox fan, I could not resist!

How great is this tablescape by Rafanelli Events? I love the old time vintage look and I love how they took a sports theme and made it pretty.  The baseball and floral centerpiece are the perfect combination!
