A Woodland Inspired Thanksgiving Table Setting

When preparing a special table, inspiration can spring from unexpected sources - a piece of fabric, a napkin, a tablecloth, a placemat, or even a dish's pattern. Often, the occasion or season evokes a particular feeling that sparks creativity. For a Thanksgiving table inspired by the woods, start with a richly colored rusty/coppery tablecloth. Place a charming vintage vase at the center, brimming with curly bittersweet, leafy sticks, a sprinkling of feathers, and a handful of acorns.

The result is a woodland-inspired table setting and centerpiece that captures the essence of the season, making your Thanksgiving celebration even more special.
