Let this copper Thanksgiving table inspire you to create your own rustic holiday table. With its charming elements and warm ambiance, you can easily create an atmosphere that welcomes your guests.
Rustic Thanksgiving Table Setup
This copper Thanksgiving table is set and ready for a feast! In fact, despite its intricate appearance, it was easy to assemble.
Rustic Charm
The dark wooden table radiates rustic vibes, setting the perfect foundation for the dining experience. Instead of using a tablecloth, it showcases woven placemats that add texture, accompanied by casual ivory plates and bowls. As a result, this choice not only enhances the visual appeal but also creates a cozy atmosphere. Furthermore, the rich tones of the wood beautifully complement the lighter colors used throughout the décor, creating a harmonious balance that ties the entire setting together.
Eye-Catching Rustic Thanksgiving Table Centerpiece
At the heart of the table lies a giant copper pot filled to the brim with pumpkins, gourds, and an acorn garland. A clever tip for using a large container is to stuff it with balled-up paper first; this allows you to fill it with decorations while keeping the bottom clear. The paper elevates the contents, creating a “spilling-over” effect.
Coordinated Decor for Rustic Thanksgiving Table
Nestled in the center of a fall wreath, adorned with ivory-colored berries, pinecones, and copper-colored leaves, the copper pot adds an attractive focal point. These berries introduce a lovely splash of color that harmonizes perfectly with the plates and napkins. Furthermore, flatware with copper handles complements the centerpiece seamlessly.
Harmonious Glassware
When selecting glassware for your tabletop decor, choose pieces that harmonize with the colors in your table setting. Opt for shades that complement the existing palette without overpowering the centerpiece. This enables the focal point to remain the star of the show while ensuring the overall presentation feels cohesive and well thought-out. Consider various types of glassware—such as vases, goblets, or stemware—that echo the hues and textures of the décor. Also, and most importantly, use glassware that will accommodate the beverages you plan to serve. If in doubt, you can always use clear glassware that works on every table.
Candle Placement
Artfully scatter low candles across the table, ensuring they don’t compete with the taller centerpiece. If you decide to use taller candles or a centerpiece, consider moving the items aside during dinner to avoid obstructing anyone’s view. The pillar candles on this table sit atop a white candle stand, and the candles are encircled with a hops candle ring. When designing the table, keep in mind items like candle rings you can use to tie back to the centerpiece.
A Busy Yet Simple Table
From a distance, the table may appear busy. However, it consists of only a few key elements, demonstrating how simplicity can create a striking impact. Given the table’s engaging setup, consider serving food buffet-style for practicality.
Invite Someone Special
Think about inviting someone who may not have family to share Thanksgiving dinner with. They will certainly appreciate your beautiful table, delicious food, and, more importantly, the sense of inclusion in your celebration.
