Thanksgiving Decoration

Thanksgiving Day is a time when family and friends gather together and enjoy each other's company with a feast. Decorations become important to make the feast more festive.

Thanksgiving Table decorations are primary to every thanksgiving occasion. Let us look at some of the center table and place setting decoration trends and patterns that would help make thanksgiving get-together a memorable occasion:

Apple basket: This can be used as a centerpiece on the table. A basket could be filled with decorated apples in green and red colors, with few fall leaves, wheat, berries, nuts and shells. Autumn colored candles of various heights can be fitted into the basket.

Decorated plants: Plants like small ivy, flowering plants and moss could be used. These could make an ideal and attractive centerpiece for table. These plants could be decorated by adding a few sprigs and fall foliage stuck between the leaves of the plants.

Dishes: Leaves apples and pumpkins could be kept in colorful plates to add attraction to the table.

Candy bowl: A low bowl with a fat orange or a yellow candle could be placed in the table. The bowl could be filled with black jelly beans or candy corn.

Magic with light: Orange colored Halloween mini lights could be attached to a glass tabletop and this will add shimmer to the festivity. A silky fabric netted or muslin tablecloth on the top could add to the overall effect. These lights when turned on during the night lend a glow with tiny white, red, gold, and blue shines.

Mats: Colored place mats and napkins could be used for thanksgiving dinner. Autumn tones of dark green, orange, red, tan yellow and navy colors could be ideal for the occasion.
