THANKSGIVING DECOR

NATURAL IS THE WORD TO KEEP IN MIND FOR THIS YEAR’S THANKSGIVING DÉCOR. RECALL THE COLORS OF THE SEASON BY INCORPORATING FLOWER AND LEAVE CENTERPIECES, PLACE SETTINGS, INDOOR FALL WREATHS, AND MORE. YOU CAN ROUND OUT YOUR DÉCOR BY USING THE BEST OF NATURE; PUMPKINS , TWIGS, NUTS, GOURDS, FRUIT, AND BRIGHT LEAVES FROM YOUR BACKYARD OR IN A PARK.

THE BEST OF NATURE WORKS PERFECTLY FOR CREATING YOUR VERY OWN WREATH! BRIGHT ORANGES AND YELLOWS WILL GIVE YOUR GUESTS AND FAMILY A HAPPY WELCOME. SOME ARE FULL OF LEAVES AND RED BERRIES. OTHERS HAVE TINY SQUASHES AND PUMPKINS THROUGHOUT.

GO WITH A NEUTRAL TABLECLOTH. A POPULAR IDEA IS A BROWN OR TAN TABLE RUNNER EMBELLISHED WITH LEAVES TO ADD SOME MORE COLOR. THIS WILL ALLOW ALL THE COLORS OF THE FOOD YOU ENJOY TO STAND OUT.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR MORE OF AN ELEGANT LOOK, YOU CAN SPRAY-PAINT MINIATURE PUMPKINS, ONE FOR EACH PLACE SETTING, AND ADD A PLACE CARD WITH EACH ONE. OR FOR A MORE NATURAL LOOK TRY USING FRUIT AS PLACE CARDS, A PEAR WOULD WORK FANTASTICALLY.

LET’S NOT FORGET ABOUT THE LITTLE ONES, TRY ADDING IN SOME THANKSGIVING ACTIVITIES FOR THE KIDS. CRAFTS COULD RANGE FROM TURKEY HANDS TO INDIAN HEAD DRESSES, AS WELL AS SMALL GAMES TO OCCUPY THE CHILD’S TIME AND WILL MAKE FOR FUN THANKSGIVING PHOTOS
