Happy Tuesday!! I’m back with Day 2 of my week long of Thanksgiving Tablescapes. If you missed yesterdays simple, elegant table you can check that out here.
Todays table is a bit more rustic, with birch tree stumps and nature inspired pieces.
Above you will see my empty table, a blank canvas. First thing I did was bunch up some burlap in the middle of the table to create a nest.
Then I staggered birch tree stumps throughout the burlap to create lots of layers and different heights.
Next I added all my white pumpkins and candles. I stacked them on different stumps to emphasize the different heights of the stumps.
I brought in the white elements first because that’s what I had the most of, and from here I could go any direction with an accent color. I could have stopped here, if I was in the mood for something a bit more simple, and all white. Which we know I love!
I chose for a more rustic theme, and brought in some twig pumpkins, wooden acorns, and some sprigs with more branches and acorns.
I placed them in and around my arrangement to fill in the gaps, and make the centerpiece seem full.
Next I added the final layer. A touch of color, and my place settings. Up until now everything I have on the table is faux, for a pop of color I brought in some real pomegranates and coordinated the color with red berry branches in a jug on my buffet.
For my place settings I used my white china set, and grandmothers silverware.
I layered napkins on the plate that had a subtle branch pattern on them that coordinated with my centerpiece, and finished it off by placing a lotus pod on each plate.
I hope you have a great day, I will be back tomorrow with Day 3 of the series!
