Entertaining: Thanksgiving Table Setting Ideas

Are you struggling to find new and fresh table setting ideas for your Thanksgiving celebration? Are you looking for something traditional or are you wanting something more contemporary? Is your celebration going to be formal or do you want something more low-key and casual?

Well, we've been looking out for some ideas for you. Check out some of our favorites...

We love Pottery Barn's monochromatic settings - they're one part casual to three parts elegance, with a zap of color. They use every day tableware and silver, punched up with beautiful candles and natural elements such as branches, flowers and vegetables to pull the whole scheme together.

We adore this color combination from the Country Living magazine. The introduction of purples and mauves with the traditional autumnal color scheme creates an unexpected and fresh table setting.

Go simple with Real Simple's colorful fruit buffet centerpieces.

An alternative to traditional floral or fruit arrangements, Domino magazine uses feathers to create an unusual casual yet elegant tablescape.

Martha Stewart and her team always have incredible ideas when it comes to decorating tables for special occasions. We like the casual autumnal setting with relaxed centerpieces and easy to make place cards, perfect for a family feast. We also love the formal aqua and gilded setting, with the "less is more" concept that is easy for anyone to try.

If you're not confident about your floral arrangement skills or want to have a table arrangement that can be used for Thanksgiving as well as Christmas, check out Restoration Hardware's range of faux centerpieces and accents. We especially like the Mixed Berry Centerpiece with its long and low lines.

Finally, it's always a debate where to put the drinks and spare glasses. Here is an ideal solution from West Elm.
