ADD SOME LIGHT Adding candles can create an elegant dining experience. One unique way to implement candles is to incorporate a rustic lantern into the mix, like this centerpiece by Serendipity Refined.

KEEP IT NEUTRAL When we think of Thanksgiving colors, we think of oranges, browns, deep reds, purples, and yellows. Although it’s fun to add every fall color to your Thanksgiving table, you can also keep it simple by using a neutral color palette. This helps create the perfect blank canvas for your colorful meal, and allows you to use many different decorations without making the table seem busy.
