Lantern Fall Centerpiece + 19 Table Setting Ideas

fall decorating, table setting, Thanksgiving November 7, 2019

It’s that time of year when I start tinkering with table setting ideas for Thanksgiving dinner. I try to do something different every year and when I spied a trio of lanterns, I realized I had the beginnings of a fall centerpiece for turkey day. (This post contains affiliate links.)

Lantern Fall Centerpiece for Thanksgiving Table Setting

 

Today I’m joining a wonderful group of home decor bloggers who have come up with their own interpretation of a gorgeous Thanksgiving tablescape. All the links are at the end of the post and I know you’ll find plenty of eye candy to inspire you.

I found short, globe-type lanterns at HomeGoods and paid less than $10 a piece for these simple beauties. They’re battery operated so no need to mess with burning candles.

Fall Table Setting with Lantern Centerpiece

 

My lantern fall centerpiece is what I call a layered tablescape. I started with an off-white thin throw for the table cloth. I then layered a light rusty orange runner on top of that. I gave the lanterns a little height with wood slices, and then spread fall leaves, small burgundy flowers, and thistles to add dimension and texture.

My poor home has seasonal identity confusion right now. There’s a fall table setting in the dining room, and there’s a bit of Christmas going on in the sitting room. You can see just a peak of the tree I set up in there.

Most lanterns are too tall for a centerpiece, but these shorties allow an unobstructed view across the table.

I used my dark gray plates from Crate and Barrel on top of wood chargers and then added rust-colored napkins encircled with a grapevine napkin ring.

Amber glassware from World Market completes the look, along with a few gold acorns.

    I love your new Thanksgiving table. You have an amazing eye for putting together color and texture. I love the dark, moody look even in a table setting – it’s so warm and comforting.
    I have Thanksgiving at my daughter’s house every year, so we do it her way. I try to bring a centerpiece for the table – a floral arrangement or something of the season, but as soon as it’s time to eat, it gets pulled off the table and replaced with a bread basket or other item of food. She doesn’t seem to share my need for the decor. Sigh …. but it’s all good.
