Shorter days, crisp morning air, and a few more layers; it's that beautiful time of year when we gather with our loved ones to celebrate the season and give thanks. One of the most beautiful ways to set the tone for your autumnal gathering is by creating a luxurious tablescape that invites sophistication and warmth. This year, why not transform your Thanksgiving into a bespoke celebration with the help of The Hidden Garden? In this blog, we'll guide you through creating a stunning holiday tablescape that will leave your guests in awe.

   This Thanksgiving, start things off by breaking away from the traditional Thanksgiving norms and creating new traditions that align with your interests and values. For example, this could be hosting a potluck where each guest brings a dish that represents their heritage or reflects their favorite seasonal ingredients instead of a turkey dinner.

   Transform your holiday gathering into a celebration of your unique style and appreciation for the season. Consider your personal tastes and preferences when selecting the color palette, decor, and overall ambiance. Here are some tips to accompany your fresh decor ideas:

• Choose a Unique Color Palette: Instead of the typical oranges and browns associated with Thanksgiving, opt for rich, opulent colors such as deep burgundy, gold, and deep green, which step away from “cozy” and into “divine.”

• Mix and Match Tableware: Instead of using a standard matching set of dishes and glasses, get creative by mixing and matching different elements to add depth and character to your table.

• Personalized Place Cards: Create custom place cards for each guest to add a personal touch. This shows your thoughtfulness and makes everyone feel special. Need more personalized seating ideas? Read part II of our Thanksgiving Series here for Napkin Treatment Ideas.

   An autumn tablescape is only complete with the natural elements that define this gorgeous season. Leaves, pumpkins, gourds, fruits, and candles can be your best friends when creating a warm and inviting ambiance. Here's how to use these elements effectively:

• Fall Leaves: Collect a variety of leaves in different shapes and colors to scatter across the table. You can also incorporate artificial, metallic leaves for a touch of elegance.
• Pumpkins and Gourds: Arrange an assortment of pumpkins and gourds in various sizes as centerpieces or as decorative accents throughout the table. Their rustic charm adds a cozy vibe.
• Fruits and Candles: Enhance the atmosphere with the warm glow of candles. Combine them with fruits like apples and pears for a visually appealing arrangement. The interplay of light and natural elements will exude sophistication and warmth. Need more ideas? Read Part III of our Thanksgiving Series HERE for Candle Ideas.
