Pretty Thanksgiving Table Inspo for Last Minute Tweaks & to PIN for Next Year!

It’s a busy season, and it is likely you have a mile long list as you attempt to time all the holiday things just right. I’m not sure any shortcuts or surefire ways exist to ensure that everyone around the table feels the love you long to offer, feels the magic you hope to create. We’re human and all fall short. Some family members and loved ones feel safe and secure with tradition and without surprises. Others love the creative energy of the new and come alive in its presence. It is taking a lifetime for me to learn to allow reality to be reality; to accept all of life as a gift. To be thankful IN my circumstances and not FOR them. Wherever this finds you today, I hope the season will bring blessing. Pin these Thanksgiving Table Inspo ideas to save for later or apply a detail or two to your Thanksgiving table or Christmas table this year. Your pinning helps this small business and helps others find inspiration they need.

Self-kindness, self-love and self-care quote about rest, productivity, and worth on Hello Lovely. #selfkindnessquotes

This was my silly pear-y happy turkey on my rustic farm table in our former home:

It truly is the simple things…

This cheese platter with pear shaped turkey was inspired by the one I saw on Itsalwaysautumn, and mine is a smaller simpler version - Hello Lovely Studio. #thanksgivingrecipes #cheeseboard #cuteappetizer #appetizerideas — Hello Lovely Studio

Even a kid can build it: green apples, red grapes, dried cranberry eyes, cheese beak, pretzel legs, and red pepper wattle.

BTW. Do you even use a formal dining room? In our prior home, it was rarely visited, but in the new house, it’s where my piano is. That means it is used every single day. See this for dining room inspiration.

A Favorite Buy To Use This Holiday

Also weaved into the collection are a few favorite fall and Thanksgiving tabletop items in case you’re poised for Black Friday! Here’s my favorite item to use for the holidays this year:

Large marble and mango wood cake stand. #marblecakestand #marblepedestal — Marble and Mango Wood Cake Stand

It is a marble cake pedestal and just the perfect size. I have seen these priced higher at Homegoods and Target, plus they were always chipped or not quite right in color or size.

Since the marble is natural stone, expect variation. Mine is not bright white yet looks perfect on my white quartz counter. The wood base pedestal is lovely enough for everyday use while also the perfect size for serving bite-sized savory appetizers and sweet dessert bites.

Menu Idea for the Thanksgiving Table

A helpful piece of advice I learned about planning any sort of menu when entertaining is to plan it all out and then scratch one thing off. We all tend to be excessive!

Candlelit Magic & Nature’s Beauty

I’m loving the little bits of velvet…maybe keep velvet ribbon in mind for Christmas or Thanksgiving next year.

Sometimes one pattern can inspire your color scheme and set everything else in motion.

This platter has such an Old World feel and doesn’t have the obligatory turkey so it could be brought into service all fall and winter long.

Whimsical Kids Table for Thanksgiving

How fun is this outdoor table for the kids!?! I can imagine any number of variations on those silly turkeys since even cut-outs could do the trick (especially if you customized ’em).

Another idea that springs to mind? Have the kids paint plain ol’ pumpkins in those pretty cheerful hues before the dinner. Then involve them in the making of the tablescape so they feel extra gratified from the final result.
