53 Refined Centerpiece Ideas for a Beautiful Thanksgiving Table

"For Thanksgiving centerpieces, I usually keep things quite organic with low-lying warm colors and in-season foraging if you're in a place where the leaves are still turning," says photographer, tastemaker, and shop owner Lucy Cuneo. "It's always striking to use a mix of green, gold, and red leaves on a table."

Here, Cuneo pairs seasonal flora with warm, autumnal shades of red to create a Thanksgiving centerpiece that invites everyone to gather. She loves to mix an assortment of candle votives down the table to add ambiance without blocking views of family and friends.

If you're fortunate enough to have gorgeous weather at the end of November, bring your table and chairs outside for a verdant gathering. Here, the team at The Avenue created a gorgeous floral centerpiece filled with fall-inspired shades. The one-of-a-kind table was completed with tableware and linens that feel less traditional for the holidays. The addition of mini lamps ensures you can keep the party going past sunset.

"I often shop the farmer’s market on Saturday mornings, and I fell in love with the Indian corn and the dried husks, so I decided to do the pumpkins, gourds and corn scattered down the table," says designer Gray Walker. "The daisies and wildflowers felt right coming out of the top of hollowed out pumpkin. I love the natural decoration with my china, crystal and silver. It’s warm and inviting with a dose of the good stuff."

"We love mixing in natural elements with the candles, dinnerware, and the shapes of the dried gourds and squashes are the perfect touch," says Mary Celeste Beall, proprietor of Blackberry Farm. "The tablecloth and napkins set a classic but inviting foundation for a fall table."

This festive scene feels straight from a magazine yet is casual enough to make all your loved ones feel cozy and comfortable at the table. The meal is just the cherry on top!

We may not all have a grand mural hand-painted by Bob Christian, but you can feel like your enjoying Thanksgiving dinner outdoors with rustic elements like fall greenery in a woven vase.

Dried florals are no longer the outdated displays at Grandma's house. They are trending in a decidedly modern fashion, as seen in this Bloomist display. Forget the real flowers that will last just couple days; dried florals will make it through the season and have a beautiful muted fall palette. (Styled by Ayesha Patel.)

Not only is there a beautiful mix of seasonal fruits and vegetables in this centerpiece by Keith Meacham of Reed Smythe, there's also a great combination of materials, from real pumpkins to gilded ones. Scattered cranberries are a nice touch that adds color and personality to the table.

"I’d love to say there was lots of inspiration for this table, but it was mostly inspired by necessity," says Meacham. "I was late getting a plan together and was cooking the whole Thanksgiving meal myself, so I turned to what was on hand in the garden and in the produce aisle: dark green magnolia leaves with velvet brown undersides, some crazy bittersweet vine, fresh red cranberries, pomegranates, pears, pumpkins, and apples. I mixed them with silver pieces I pull out every Thanksgiving: my treasured Sterling Wishbone, a gift from my friend Julia which we sell at Reed Smythe, silver pumpkins and corn from Creel & Gow, silver candlesticks and SilverClam Shell Salt Dish, some antique and others from Reed Smythe. Together with my Spode china, monogrammed French linens from the French flea markets, and tortoiseshell glasses, it all sort of worked with minimum fuss."
