Craeting a lovely Thanksgiving Table!

With Thanksgiving less than three weeks away, it is time to take a break from that meal planning, and gather some sources of inspiration for creating a lovely table!  I recently saw some great articles online, and thought I would share my favorite ideas!

 

Greet guests with lovely decor before they sit down!
Don't forget to add some fall decor throughout your house!  I loved this idea for a foyer table.

Play with fun place cards!
What a great way to greet your guests before their meal!  Grab some mini pumpkins, fun paper (or even newspaper), twine, a sharpie, and you're done!

Pick up some lovely flowers!
For under $30, you can pick up a bouquet filled with some luscious oranges, yellows, browns and purples, and it will give an instant welcoming feel to your table.

Simple can be festive!
I love this simple place-setting, mixed with some fun pumpkins and squash, with the pop of the lovely plumb color!

Varied heights creates a lovely table!
Using lots of different vases and glasses of different heights, creates a lot to enjoy!
