Set the table

 A decorated table helps to display a warm and inviting atmosphere perfect for spending the food-filled day with family and friends.

When setting the table, there are many options. 

A few floral arrangements and pop of autumn colors help to complete the festive look.

Figuring out your arrangements can be challenging. Play with colors or mix and match styles. 

Pairing vintage-inspired styles along with light toned color palettes helps to create a timeless look. 

The dishes can also be mixed. By placing a few patterned plates with solid colored ones, you can complement either simple or extravagant designs. 

 Mixing the dishes also nullifies the necessity of a complete china set.

The centerpiece can be all sorts of styles as well, from cozy and casual to coastal themes.

There are endless possibilities to create the perfect designs. 

A tablecloth, along with assorted groupings of pumpkins, berry garland, or pine cones can enliven both rustic and elegant looks. 

Neutral tone place mats, as well as neutral napkins, can help to calm any excessive use of colors. 

It is also important to add personal touches. Incorporating sentimental pieces will help complete the Thanksgiving table look.
