If you’re hosting the turkey dinner tonight, have no fear - cute fall tabletop ideas are here! This image is stunning. The orange paper lanterns look like giant pumpkins overhead and I love the idea of bringing tartan to the table through napkins and blankeys. We should all have a collection of old wool tartan blankets to pull out in the fall!

Here’s another cute idea - pull out old family photos to use instead of place cards. What a great way to get people to the table!

And enjoy memories of family no longer with us.

If you have a box of price tags from the dollar store - create instant place cards by slipping them over the stem of a pear.

If you don’t; a little piece of twine works well with any kind of tag and fruit…

cobi

No tags at all? How about metallic pen on an apple or pomegranate? See - no excuses not to tart up the table!

If you’re more of a ‘professional arrangement kinda gal’ just make sure it’s gorgeous and bountiful like this…

Or buy a bunch of mixed flowers at the grocery store and cut them really short to create your own arrangement…

I love this skinny table set with old and new pieces. Classic and lovely.

Here’s a fun little craft if you own carving tools - these gourd vase and bowl ideas are sweet…

If warm tones aren’t you, don’t despair - purple looks amazing with fall colours…

cobi

As does crimson! It’s fabulous and unexpected alongside yellows and golds…

Try using unexpected items on your table or convert things, like candle holders, into props and pedestals.

Head out to the garden for some branches - understated elegance in a glass vase.

cobi

Or just lay one beautiful branch at each place - Bittersweet is perfect…

cobi

No branches? How about a simple piece of raffia and a wooden bead? See … no excuses…

cobi

Fall foliage also looks amazing in a glass vase - no fuss, no muss, no cost.

cobi

And here’s a perfect kids table anyone can do with kraft paper, crayons, a few pears and pots…

cobi

If you aren’t hosting this year, don’t miss out - do up your mantle and light a crackling fire …

cobi

And then take a moment to give thanks for all of your many blessings…
