A Thanksgiving celebration is all about food, family, and friends. Give thanks and do it with the ones you love.

There are a few ways you can set a table, casual, formal, and modern. We go over each of these table settings with graphics in the post, How to Set a Table: A Guide to Everything You Need to Know. Depending on what you’re serving for dinner will help decide which table setting is best.

Flowers for a Thanksgiving Table Setting

A simple way to add flowers to your Thanksgiving table setting without having to arrange them is to use small bud vases. Fill the bud vases with fall flowers or clippings from outside.

Line the bud vases down the table for an easy Thanksgiving centerpiece.

What colors are for Thanksgiving?

Traditional colors for Thanksgiving are neutral colors and shades of muted red, orange, yellows, and brown. We also used shades of blues in our modern rustic Thanksgiving table setting and it looked beautiful!

Pumpkin Napkin Rings

Napkin rings add a touch of charm to the table setting. Napkin rings were originally used to distinguish napkins in a household in between weekly washes. Now they are used as a decorative item for a beautiful table setting.

These pumpkin rings can be used all fall and are perfect for Thanksgiving!

Glassware for a Thanksgiving Table Setting

Don’t hold back on beautiful glassware for Thanksgiving! Depending on what you’re serving you’ll want to set your table with one wine glass, one champagne flute, and one water cup.

If you’ll be serving a red and white wine, you’ll need to have two wine glasses on the table with a champagne flute and a water cup.
