Welcome to one of my favorite Thanksgiving tablescapes to date! Last year after Thanksgiving, I purchased these Thanksgiving turkey plates on major sale and knew they would be the focal point to my table the following year. I think my exact plates are most sold out but this set is very similar.
My favorite thing to do when I am scheming up a new tablescape is to make these collages like the one below. I have been doing it for years and it helps me visualize and put a color scheme together. It helps me see what I may already own and what I may want to purchase for the table setting and it gives me a great base. I can’t recommend this enough if you are new to tablescaping or have been doing it for years!

For this tablescape, I was lucky enough to have already owned a lot of the items that I was putting together. My favorite new purchase for this tablescape were these incredible brown mushroom lights that I had been eyeing for a year at a much higher price and found them on Walmart for $9 each!!! It was of the best dupes I have found in a long time. I was very excited. I bought 3 of them to put on my table.
The other thing I had to purchase were these beautiful placemats from Cailini Coastal. I loved the way they looked on the table and tied the blues and the browns together. One thing that is so important to note when doing a table, is to never stress if you don’t have enough. In this case, I was setting a table for 10 people and I only purchased 8 of those placemats. I looked through my house and tried to see what I might be able to use in the extra two seats and found these great wooden tree trunk chargers that Ive owned from Target (I can only find them here now) for years and used those at the head of the tables.
For the center of the table, I laid out some faux greenery that I already owned, some faux cotton stems I had on hand and then some fresh white roses. I also sent the kids off to go pick me up some pinecones from the park and scattered those around as well. You don’t always have to use real flowers to set a beautiful centerpiece.
I always love having candles on my table for height and ambiance and that finished off the table just perfectly. I loved the way it turned out and I hope you did too. I will try to link the items the best that I can, but remember to shop your own things first and then add to little by little.
You can find some of our older Thanksgiving tables here for inspiration as well.
