DIY: Thanksgiving Dinner Tablescape

Tablescape vs Centerpiece:

Our designers chose to create a stunning Thanksgiving dinner tablescape instead of a centerpiece. Why, you might ask? Because for one, tablescapes are becoming more popular for table decor rather than bulky centerpieces. Tablescapes also allow you to actually see all of your guests at the table! In just a couple of simple steps, you can create this fantastic tablescape for your upcoming Thanksgiving celebrations!

See below to create the look, and happy holidays from the iNSPIRE Q Design Team to you!

What you need:

  • 1 six foot strand of fall garland (available at most craft stores)
  • 12 pumpkins in a variety of colors, sizes, and shapes.

We chose to focus on gold, bronze, white and warmer orange hues to give off the perfect Fall vibe!

  • 3 candle holders

We chose to use holders of varying heights to add a dramatic effect to this tablescape!

  • 3 candles
  • Name cards &  pen

Directions:

  1. Group the garland down the center of the table.
  2. Then add the candle holders.
  3. Finally, add the pumpkins.

Voila!  You now have transformed your Thanksgiving table into a beautifully decorated holiday tablescape, and yes, it’s that simple!
