Let’s take a look at some different styles below to inspire your Thanksgiving décor.

Traditional Thanksgiving Table Centerpiece Ideas

When you think of a traditional Thanksgiving table layout, pictures of autumn leaves, pumpkins, and overflowing cornucopias probably come to mind. The cornucopia represents abundance and gratitude, a classic symbol of Thanksgiving — making it the perfect piece to showcase on your table.

If you want your table to really embody Thanksgiving, you’ll need to incorporate warm, earthy tones. The Warm and Wonderful Centerpiece brings an autumnal glow to the table, featuring deep reds, warm oranges, and bold yellows that peek out from dark green foliage.

Or, to truly honor your family gathering together, you could opt for the Heart of the Home Centerpiece arrangement brimming with hearty blooms.

Add some pillar candles and scatter your table with mini pumpkins and gourds to complete your traditional Thanksgiving table decorations.

Modern Ideas for Thanksgiving Centerpieces

If your style leans more chic than classic, we’ve got the ideal Thanksgiving arrangement ideas for you, too. To keep your table looking clean and modern, think minimalism, clean lines, and unexpected details.

You could add a fresh, modern twist to your table with a glass vase filled with a fall floral arrangement of your choosing. If you’d still like to incorporate some elements of fall colors without going too deep or dark in the hues, then the brighter oranges and reds of a Joyful Gathering arrangement will suit your table perfectly.

A good way to maintain a fresh look is to stick to monochromatic floral arrangements rather than ones with too many colors. You’ll find a few more ideas for modern fall bouquets here.

To make your table look even more modern, consider using a unique container for your centerpiece, like a wooden bowl, metal tray, or glass terrarium. It’s a stylish way to add natural elements to your table.

If DIY is your thing, there are lots of ways to get creative with your Thanksgiving centerpiece. Try filling some mason jars with fresh herbs or even using bottles of wine as candle holders. You could even fill a fruit bowl with apples, pears, and pomegranates for natural, edible décor that tastes as good as it looks.
