Elegant, Neutral Thanksgiving Table Decor- Maison de Pax

I can’t believe it’s almost November! I’m feeling especially blessed this year as some family guests from the East Coast whom we don’t get to see very often is making their way down to Texas for the week of Thanksgiving… I can’t wait.

And while I’m not even hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year, it was so so fun to put together this beautiful set table for you all as inspiration. And who knows, I’ll probably be given the job of decorating the table at my mom’s house anyway.

I’m so happy to be sharing this as part of the Holiday Entertaining Blog Tours put together by my sweet friend Lory from Designthusiasm. If you are hosting Thanksgiving, I know you have so many things to think about: turkey, gravy, drinks, music, keeping crystal out of reach of the little ones, keeping the feuding family members as far apart as possible… 😉  Just being real here, friends. I’m hoping, though, that today’s little post will take one of the responsibilities off your plate.

Today’s post is all about HOW to create a gorgeous tablescape SIMPLY. It’s Thanksgiving… it’s a pleasure to have an elegant Thanksgiving table setting and to celebrate God’s goodness, but you don’t need it to be complicated, right?

Here’s a little video giving you all my best tips for creating a beautiful table.

And now, here are some more pretty pictures of this space… because we all like a little eye candy, right? I went for a simple green and white color palette instead of the traditional orange.

Rather than a single focal centerpiece, I used a variety of faux and heirloom pumpkins layered on a table runner to create this look. I love organic thanksgiving centerpieces. I even added some yellows by making some little candle holders from gourds and mini pumpkins.

I added woven placemats and baskets for texture, pine cones for a seasonal feel, lanterns for warmth, and copper and silver accents for a pop of color and shine. Many regular dishes can act as Thanksgiving decorations when paired for warmth and coziness.

And rather than using vases, I just layered the greenery, mostly eucalyptus leaves and blooms, on the runner to create life and texture in various shades of green. It almost gives the look of garlands.

I set the dining table with a cream and gold china place setting and gold flatware and warmed the space with some knit blankets.

    1. Thank you so much! It’s Noritake, and it’s just like this one (affiliate link), except it’s off white. I haven’t found it online (ours was purchased 15 years ago; maybe they don’t make it anymore??). I hope this helps!
