Love flowers? A pumpkin makes a perfect vase along with all your other ideas for Thanksgiving. Make a carefully placed bouquet of flowers and put them inside a painted pumpkin. Painting the pumpkin white gives it a very elegant look. Use flowers with colors to mimic the colors of fall. Show off a beautiful arrangement at your next holiday party.

Get expressive this holiday with a chalkboard tablecloth! Have fun seeing everyone draw and write their own unique doodles. Have a few pieces of chalk at each table setting and watch everyone start to play. Comparable to a game, it’s an opportunity for everyone to have a turn. It’s the chicest part of your party yet! Just another idea for Thanksgiving that we know you’ll have fun with.  Get a chalk board table cloth here, at Hester & Cook.

Everyone likes to see that they’ve been thought of, so give your guests the pleasure of seeing that special place that’s been set just for them at the table. Decorate those place cards with leaves that bring out thoughts of fall and Thanksgiving in all its splendor. Arrange the leaves any way you want and even add a little gold paint to the end of the leaf to give it a little flair. It’s going to be a great party with décor that shows just how crafty you really are. Check out this blog post on Lark & Linen for more details and instructions.

Not sure about you, but the minute I see bread on the table – I’m happy! Sophisticated dinners always start with bread :). Place mini baguettes on the dishes for your special occasion and tie a little piece of lavender or rosemary around it. It’s amazing how such a small detail can add up to something interesting, but it can! Don’t forget to put butter beside each plate, most of us like butter!
