Ideas for Decorating Your Thanksgiving Table

Thanksgiving is almost here and it’s time to start planning. Thanksgiving traditions call for sharing an abundance of food and drink with friends and family. In my family, our tradition is that everyone around the table says something they are thankful for before carving the turkey. When entertaining this year, create lasting memories for your family by starting your own traditions. This year, you can give a little more attention to your holiday décor by putting more effort into creating an atmosphere that gives off that warm and cozy Thanksgiving feeling. Cater to the senses with rich and vibrant colors and wonderful aromas.

Presentation is important when having any kind of get together, so start decorating the table where everyone is amazed at the setting and can’t wait to sit after waiting patiently to eat. A great idea is to create two separate tables, one for food and one for desserts. For some tips on what you can include on your table settings, check out the link below for examples of tablescapes from simple to extravagant.

Centerpieces always make the tablescape stand out, and you can use almost anything from baskets or vases filled with flowers, fruit or candles. Depending on your personal preference and the size of your table, there are many options for an amazing centerpiece. We’ve created centerpieces placing similar items in different baskets to provide an example of how our beautiful baskets can be used for your table this year. 

If you have a large table and want a more traditional look, try out one of our tray baskets. For this centerpiece, we added a gold bow to brighten up the overall look. This particular basket is our Stained Oval Willow with Handles Model LCB088.

If your table is narrow, try our Slim Rectangular Paper Fiber Basket Model 5026E.

If your table is small, or if you want more of a modern look, use one of our beautiful metal containers for your centerpiece.  We’ve chosen our Copper Metal Braided Container Model 7539 for the centerpiece (pictured below) and placed a single scented candle in the middle.

Lastly, we’ve created another option for a centerpiece using one of our Gold Glittery Gift Boxes Model 6312A, and added a gold bow on top for a finishing touch.

Baskets are great because they can be used over and over again and have can be used for storage as well as home décor. To view our full selection of quality baskets, visit our website at www.luckyclovertrading.com  Wishing you a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving this year!
