Traditional Thanksgiving centerpiece with mood lighting
This classic rendition of a Thanksgiving centerpiece is perfect for a small and intimate or a large gathering. Easy DIY decorations should be easy to scale up or down depending upon your guest list. The technique is to layer elements down the center of the table with different textures and shapes in gorgeous fall colors. Magnolia leaves, various greenery, pods, berries, and mums create the perfect pairing to your delicious Thanksgiving dinner menu.
Fall branches with a touch of floral
This arrangement is deceptively easy! Its so dramatic so you’d assume its difficult to make, but not at all. Grab some pear branches (or any fall branches with leaves you can part with) and add a few stunning peony blooms. For this piece I used an antique water pitcher! Shop your home to find the perfect container which may not be a vase at all. Simple, dramatic, and easy DIY Thanksgiving decoration!
Modern Cornucopia easy DIY Thanksgiving decorations
The cornucopia, which is the traditional Thanksgiving centerpiece, is a symbol of abundance and nourishment. A cornucopia is typically a horn shaped basket or container overflowing with flowers, produce, and nuts. Although my modern take on the cornucopia doesn’t include a basket, this centerpiece truly does feel abundant and sophisticated. Click here to see more detailed instructions for this arrangement.
