Easy and Beautiful Thanksgiving Tablescape and Centerpiece

When it comes to creating a tablescape don't be intimidated. Instead, throw caution to the wind and let your creativity flow!

For years I thought I couldn't create a pretty tablescape but this year I was determined to prove myself wrong and I did.

I started by purchasing a pretty basket from Michaels along with what I thought was far too many faux flowers in vibrant fall hues. I placed florist foam into the bottom of the basket and began to add the flowers evenly throughout the basket.

I added a paisley print tablecloth to the table folding it to mimic a runner, placed salvaged pallet boards atop that to anchor the tablescape and then began having fun.

I added faux antlers, mini pumpkins and gourds around the base of the centerpiece.

Next I shopped my house and added a rosemary plant, a small cast iron urn and more to the table. Symmetry did not rule here - I just added what was pleasing to my eye. Check out my post for more pictures along with info about the beautiful plates I used to complete my Thanksgiving table.
