Tablescapes are really easy to make but there's one good thing to know. They should be long and low. You want to be sure you can see your loved ones across the dining room table!
If you’d like, select a festive table runner that compliments your Thanksgiving dinner table. I put the runner on the table along with the cake stand and have the garland going around and running almost the length of the table.
In the pictures here, you can see a wooden cake stand which I decorated with a small peanut pumpkin purchased at our Tucson farmers market, along with fresh eucalyptus and wheat stalks from Trader Joe’s.
I also purchased a couple of bunches of fresh flowers. I tucked some of the deep plum mums into the cake stand too. I also have 2 stems of protea in each which is very long-lasting too.
The next step here is adding in some candles. I purchased ivory votive candles in metal cups. The cups of these tea lights were silver. I painted them very quickly in fall tones so they would match my autumn color scheme.
As you can see, this fun project was put together and it's so warm and welcoming! Many of these items can be used over and over again. Fresh flowers, pumpkins, and vegetables are affordable additions to an autumn centerpiece.
