Construction paper Pilgrim hats and hand print turkeys hold a fond spot in my heart, but I can't wait to try some classier decor this year. At 78th Street, we are hosting "Friendsgiving" this weekend. In an ideal world with unlimited funds, I would decorate with natural colors (especially lots of shades of brown, green, gold) and materials (branches, feathers, acorns) and fabrics (linen, burlap and maybe a bit of velvet here and there). I have collected a few images for inspiration:
Our little table only seats four. There are 12 people on our guest list. Realistically speaking, individual place settings aren't going to happen for me nor is spending a lot of money on "pre-fab" decor. But, I still plan to use these images as inspiration for centerpieces and other decor to be found around the house. Luckily for me, many of the pieces I'm most enamored of, like the acorns and pine cones, are free!
I love the pumpkin-as-vase idea!
