Thanksgiving is a festive time of the year. The time when emotions are high and food cravings higher, the turkey, the cranberries and the pies are cooked to perfection. The fact is you want everything to embody the joy, love and festivity of the occasion. And decorations are a major contributing factor to get in the festive mood. Following Thanksgiving decoration ideas will surely spoil you with choice this season:
Pumpkins:
Pumpkins and thanksgiving just go hand in hand. No thanksgiving decorations are complete without these visually and appetizingly wonderful additions. However, you don't just have to resort to placing a few pumpkins at the center of the dinner table or in the hallway. Try to be as creative and unique as possible. You can add small sized pumpkins in a cylindrical glass vase or place them in rustic lanterns along with some scented candles or you can also use a tureen to make a center piece using pumpkins, acorns etc.
Autumn Leaves: The rustic autumn theme never gets old when it comes to decorating for thanksgiving. You can place a washed, cleaned and dried maple leaf on every serving plate or use a huge bunch to make a centerpiece. You can also make garlands using orange, gold or bronze themes. Garlands can be used making acorns, leaves, twigs, pumpkins, ferns and ribbons.
Candles:
No dinner decorations are complete without candles. There are plenty of ways you can add candles for the perfect cozy ambiance. A good idea is to make a centerpiece using all the different candle stands available around the house. The combination of crystal, wood and iron would give great character to a dinner table. You can also add twigs to a fluted vase, fill it with water and float candles atop. Burlap and candles go very well together too. You can use it to wrap the candles or as a runner for a small table and place candles atop. Choose from a wide variety of candle stands from here.
Door Baskets or Wreath: Door baskets or wreaths are a great way of welcoming your guests and giving them an idea of exactly what is in store for them for the rest of the evening. They are not only great for thanksgiving but will look good the entire fall season. You can make wreaths or baskets by mixing up the fall elements using a lot of browns, oranges and rustic yellows. Use dried out leaves and/or barley if you would like a more subtle wreath.
Fireplace Mantle: No thanksgiving decoration is complete without decorating the fireplace mantle. But it is the place which is usually decorated using similar themes. Try not to stick to simple Give Thanks banners and pumpkin placements in front of the fireplace. It is best to follow a theme rather than add a few items to your regular mantle decorations. You can use photo frames to add messages, or place the decorated lanterns or candles on the mantle. Rustic vases and leaves hanging using invisible hanging wire will look beautiful combined with the crackling firewood. This wall art piece or this metallic finials from decorusa would look wonderful on a fireplace mantle along with a few candles.
The trick to acing thanksgiving decorations is to follow a specific theme and to make the most of each space. You can add twigs to the legs of a table or add leaves to the chandelier. Don’t just stick to the obvious decoration spaces but hunt for places that can add character to the festivity. And don’t forget to have fun!
