Beautiful Thanksgiving Tablescape Ideas with a Metallic Touch

There are lots of different ways to decorate for Thanksgiving. Adding a touch if glitter and glistening with metallics are a great way to make your Thanksgiving table pop and there are so many ways to add some shimmer and make your beautiful Thanksgiving Tablescape warm and welcoming for your guests

Use Mixed Metals in Your Harvest Table Setting

Mixed metals such as gold or copper silverware mixed with other metallic decor add a nice bling without being stuck into use on metal and play with warm fall color. Mixed with fall foliage and faux florals in Thanksgiving centerpieces it brings in color and brightness.

Add a Table Runner over Your Tablecloth

When creating your tablescape,  add another layer by turning your table runner the other direction. There’s nothing that says it always has to go the same way and it’s a great way to start layering accents and build a centerpiece on top of it. By layering a linen runner over a plaid tablecloth it is another layer of interest. It also is a nice contrast to the metallic elements.

Build Height In the Center of Your Thanksgiving Table Decor

With a smaller dining table you might not be able to do a long centerpiece, but by using a tired stand with some added  faux fall leaves and painted some faux and real mini-pumpkins with metallic paints really creates interest with height ( and painting faux pumpkins with metallic paint is an easy DIY). I used both Copper and Rose Gold on orange pumpkins ,and it gave them a lovely warm tone with the metallic paint over the top.

Add Special Touches to Each Thanksgiving Table Setting with Custom Decor

Whether you use a charger, or layer plates on your dinner table, making the place setting special is a delight for your guests.

Using metallic paint and a stamp can create one of a kind napkins that make your table special. Topped with a mini pumpkin, they are also very budget-friendly and add something special to the holiday table. Heat set your napkins according to directions before using.

Create Unique Place Cards for Your Table Setting

Using faux leaves with a letter tag for a place setting makes it cute and personal and pair well as napkin rings as well.

Use Special Napkin Rings

While you can tie your napkins with a ribbon, napkin rings can add another something special to you fall table setting decor. Create  napkin rings that look like large stone rings from paint pouring and edged with a gold rim to bring in a natural element.

A gold chain adorned with a feather brings in a metallic element and a natural touch.

Mix Natural Elements with Wood

A stamped

I love stemless my wine glasses, but I don’t like how they sit directly on the table and can leave a wine ring.

I used a wood slice with a craft store stamp and Emperor’s Gold to make stemless wineglass coasters to solve that problem. The stamp and gold makes  them a bit fancier than plain wood slices. I also used the Copper paint and some inexpensive plain, white napkins  to make some hand-stamped napkins. You can add fabric medium to the paint if you are afraid of it washing out. I love being able to add personal touches to my decor. It makes it so much more special that way. I love that out local grocery store has such beautiful bouquets. I love adding fresh flowers to a room.

I love the contrast of copper color and the flowers, and to carry the metallic theme through the room.I know Thanksgiving seems a long way off, but we are already making plans in our family. I am going to make an apple crumble for sure, and I just ordered our turkey.
