Creating a Cozy Thanksgiving Tablescape (with JOANN)

Step 1: Laying the Foundation with a Runner (or tablecloth)

Start by setting the table with a table runner. I chose the neutral one I already had on hand. It complements the Thanksgiving theme and serves as the perfect canvas for the upcoming elements.

I also placed a bright orange garland from JOANN on top of the runner.

Step 2: The Showstopper Centerpiece:

Don’t overlook the potential for a lovely centerpiece – it’s like the inspiration.

I opted for a trio of items from JOANN – a ceramic pumpkin, a glass pumpkin, and a candle. These items align perfectly with autumn warmth, creating a focal point that captures the season’s coziness.

 

Step 3: Framing the Centerpiece with Taper Candles

To add a touch of height and elegance, place tall taper candles on each side of the centerpiece. The lit flames create a warm setting, inviting guests to linger and enjoy the moment.

Step 4: Finishing Touches with Dried Fruit and Votive Candles:

Bring a natural and rustic element to your table by filling in the spaces with dried fruits. Pomegranates add a burst of color and texture. 

Then, place smaller votive candles along the garland and fruits.

Step 5: Elevate Table Settings with Glitter Faux Leaf Picks

Embellish your cloth napkins with a bit of sparkle. I used glitter faux leaf picks from JOANN – simple yet so pretty. It ties everything together and takes your table from plain to party-ready.
