If you’ve been tasked with hosting duties for Thanksgiving this year, you’re ready to impress guests. Luckily, putting it all together doesn’t need to be difficult. Here’s how to create a beautiful tablescape that your family or guests are sure to remember.

Picking a colour palette sets the tone of your Thanksgiving feast. Lean into fall foliage with autumnal hues, go the minimalist route with shades of white or change it up with rich jewel tones.

Create a focal point for your tablescape with a stunning centerpiece. Place wow-worthy florals (a perfect excuse to pick your favourite blooms) in a vase or tapered candles surrounded by greenery in the center.

Don’t underestimate the power of a bold napkin ring. They’re an easy way to bring together a theme and there’s several options to choose from, whether it’s festive sprigs or a hint of metallic.

Elegant dinnerware elevates your spread so you can create a show-stopping tablescape. This is the perfect time to bring out the fine china or show off your beautiful brass flatware.

Place cards are both personal and practical. Flex your calligraphy skills with a handwritten place card. Or carve out the first name of your guest on individual pumpkins if you want to get a little playful.
