Natural Thanksgiving Table

Hello, I'm Jennifer with Jennifer Decorates. In today's video, I'm going to show you how to create a natural Thanksgiving table. I used kraft paper as the runner for this table setting, which allowed me to draw a design on the end. This would also be a great activity to do with young kids. Let them write what they're thankful for or just draw their own creative pictures. So I started with a galvanized charger and the reason I chose that is because I'm going to have a lot of brown and wood tones in this design, so I really needed something that kind of popped off of everything else. Next, I placed a wood dish on top of the galvanized charger. This was just a perfect contrast of natural elements of wood and metal. So I chose this dishcloth because of the colors, the very deep yellow and the beautiful teal. So on top, I placed a gray ceramic bowl and inside the bowl, I put a large brown acorn that has such beautiful, unique detail. I love the combination of all of these elements. It created a very casual and a natural play setting. So for the middle of this centerpiece, I started with a galvanized cake stand and I placed a big white pumpkin on top. Take a close look at the speckles in this pumpkin. It just mimics the yellow that's in the napkins. I used magnolia stems and layered them on top of each other and that created the look of a garland. It was really easy. I just made sure to layer them on top of each other, making sure to tuck in the stems. So to give a little fullness to the garland, I added grapevine pumpkins and they're actually on stems as well and I just tucked them into the garland. So because I have a cake stand in the middle and it's a higher piece, what I like to do is add a little bit more greenery and elements around that and then as we trail out to the ends of the table, just get thinner as you go along. For the last finishing touch, I added these little seeded fall flowers and I kind of snipped them. They came on a little stem, but I snipped them and I tucked them all around the entire garland. And that's all it took to create this beautiful table setting. The craft paper as a runner, which has endless possibilities for design, galvanized charger with a wood plate on top, a beautiful napkin, a gray bowl with a large acorn, and then for the natural garland, we just used the magnolia picks. Then on the center of the table was the galvanized cake plate with a beautiful speckled white pumpkin on top. The harmony of all of these items together created a very cozy and quaint Thanksgiving table. I really hope you enjoyed this natural fall table setting. I even have it on my own table and I leave it out every day. If you'd like to know where I got some of the supplies, I'll be sure to put them in the description below.
