Whether you’re hosting a cozy family dinner or planning ahead for Thanksgiving, this tablescape is designed to capture the essence of fall with traditional colors and warmer fall tones. Best of all, it’s versatile enough to easily transition into Thanksgiving or even Halloween with a few simple additions.

Centerpiece: Bringing Autumn Indoors

The centerpiece is the heart of any tablescape, and for this fall-inspired setting, I started with a base of two autumn leaf garlands. The vibrant mix of warm autumn colors in the leaves sets the perfect foundation. To add depth and texture, I used ivory berries and rust-colored peonies, which provide a beautiful contrast against the rich foliage. For an extra touch of elegance, I added some leafy branches in coordinating hues.
