Hello friends! Most of you are probably gearing up for Thanksgiving dinner this coming weekend, so I thought I’d give you a sneak-peek of what our thanksgiving dinner table decor will be! Hint – there are pumpkins.
In case you haven’t surmised, I am a woman who enjoys seasonally flavoured beverages at Starbucks. It’s pumpkin spice latte season y’all. *the pumpkin man gif will be important to the rest of the post if you read on. I promise!

Taking the pumpkin theme and running with it; I think I crammed as many pumpkins in as many different styles and textures as I could, into this year’s thanksgiving table decor. I’ve got plastic pumpkins, ceramic pumpkins, mercury glass pumpkins, beaded pumpkins and real pumpkins! Goodness gracious, there are a lot of pumpkins on this table. Do you want some pumpkin with your pumpkin?
The table decor this year is so cheery and bright and layered with textures; it’s a veritable feast for the eyes, so enjoy it! If you’ve had a fall like mine you’ll be looking for joy and beauty wherever you can.
I added blankets on the chair backings not only for colour and texture, but because it gets cold in Quebec, and unit we wrap our windows there are a few strong drafts flowing through the house. Thanksgiving dinner or not, it can be cold.
I’ve got a post lined-up for how to construct the centrepiece coming later, but for now enjoy the table in its entirety. And yes, those are mini LED lights under the leaves and foliage on the table. I opted to use the lights instead of candles to provide some warm light that wouldn’t block sight lines.
Remember the deer from an earlier picture on instagram? Well here he is, wearing a bow and guarding a bowl full of… you guessed it… pumpkins!
What will you be doing for thanksgiving table decor?
Live boldly.
Your table looks wonderful Ariel! I love the idea of using the blankets on the backs of the chairs – practical and they add a pop of colour. The mini pumpkins are my favourite, but the metallic one on the table is pretty too. 🙂
Thanks Suzanne! Like I was saying in the post, it does get pretty chilly so the blankets – although decorative – would probably get used. Happy thanksgiving!
Such a great idea adding the lights and blankets. It’s perfect. Happy Thanksgiving!
The lights were such a fun and last minute touch! I wanted to do candles like I normally do, but the lights were such a delightful addition. I was definitely proud of myself for that one. Happy thanksgiving to you too!
Your table looks amazing, and I LOVE the idea of the lights! Really inspiring, and getting our table in order just happens to be on my ‘to do’ for today! Thanks Ariel!!
Oh my goodness. So many beautiful things to look at! Don’t know which is my favourite, the deer head or the sparkly pumpkins!
I completely love those smoked colour glasses. Are those vintage? Or are they available in stores? Where can I find those babies?
Hey there! Those were purchased at Pottery Barn on sale a few years ago. I’m not sure if that exact shade is still available, but I feel like they still make this goblet style. I’d go in and ask if I were you! <3
