Thanksgiving and Fall Table Setting Ideas

My thanksgiving mood board

is giving me all the feels! I combined my place settings checklist with all the items I need to create a fall-inspired centerpiece. I included elements such as gold beads for the base—these are going to go directly into the clear rectangular vase—and then I’m going to add the multi-colored leaves. For anyone that has natural leaves still around their house, go out and collect those and put them in your vase! Once the beads are added to the vase and it’s lined with natural colored leaves, I will add the gold glitter leaves for height.

Clearly, I’m loving everything gold right now, and I have to tie this into the place settings—from gold glitter chargers to flatware to glitter gold trees, I want to accent everything in my apartment with gold. I balanced out the place settings by getting white stone china plates and cream-colored napkins. As an event planner, I love when food is presented on clean white plates. It makes the food and the color on the plate pop. I absolutely loved the gold “grateful” napkin rings from Crate and Barrel, so I linked them down below too!

My thanksgiving and fall table setting ideas came in just under $350.00. And I could get all these items by Friday. This just proves you can decorate your home like a pro for less.

Event pro tip—plate your food on clean white plates. It makes the food and the color on the plate pop!

I want the holiday decorations to have maximum impact around our apartment, so I purposefully select the items that I can do a lot with and have the most versatility in my home. I also want holiday decorations that can be used for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. Take a look at how I broke out my list below and then tell me what you would choose!!
