Guest Blogger #766, Entry #1814, November 12, 2012

Using natural colors to shape a picture-perfect Thanksgiving table is the best solution for entertaining with style. Crisp colors or soft hues have the power to transform this year?s Thanksgiving Holiday into a cheerful, family-connecting rendezvous. This Thanksgiving dinner should be your best one yet ? choose the perfect color combination and remember to match it with your dining room to create a stunning effect on your guests. Give them another reason to give thanks ? their part in your perfectly planned Thanksgiving dinner!

Pure white and golden details

Colorful decorations can become themes for this year?s thanksgiving table: imagine a Thanksgiving dinner table lined with red tablecloth only to contrast the cornucopia overflowing with seasonal produce like golden pears, apples and beige pumpkins, as you can see in the photo below. Candle light is preferred to give the Thanksgiving tablescape a magic twist, while the table?s abundance is mostly edible, conferring an extra dimension to this special table arrangement.

Soft orange and green traces

Decorating the Thanksgiving table with soft colors on a white background brings calmness and a joyful atmosphere to the table. Gourds and tall candles resting in the center of the table can be mirrored in orange plates, while a green garland breaks the monotony. Nuts and leaves shape an autumnal design, a rose here and there softens the seasonal inspiration and guests gather around the table to give thanks ? an inspiring Thanksgiving scene.

Bold red mixed with orange

Enjoy a late autumn outdoor thanksgiving in a simple, rural setting ? just a few hay bales can sum up to a spacious dinner table and comfortable seating. The table cloth will not be a problem in the soft wind if you tuck it under the tabletop of your choice. Place an orange centerpiece cloth to match the autumnal decorations and choose red tableware to contrast the green surroundings. Having Thanksgiving dinner outside is the weather permits it is as close to your natural surroundings as they come.

Pink and red details on a wooden table

No need for formality if your style speaks a welcoming language ? your elegant white tableware can adorn a wooden table without a tablecloth present. Chinese lantern plants alongside pumpkins generate an autumnal feeling of plentiful and beautiful harvest. Place cards can come in the shape of moss plates while lit candles welcome each guest to the dinner table in an intimate setting.

Pristine white tableware and mouth-watering recipes

A white Thanksgiving dinner table contrasting the aromatic recipes is the perfect choice for an elegant dining experience. White-painted pumpkins and sculptural vases scream for soft patterns on the tablecloth, constructing a fairytale background for the main attraction ? the traditional Thanksgiving turkey. Food presentation becomes even more important on a white background ? if you want to accentuate the look of your tasty dishes, a white Thanksgiving dinner table will serve as your canvas.
