Black and White Fall Tablescape

Thanks For Sharing!

Disclosure: I am an ambassador for the BHG Live Better Network. All opinions are 100% my own. 

Thanksgiving is just around the corner! We rotate between my husband and my families each year and I have a feeling it will be years before we actually host at our home, but that doesn’t mean I can’t have my table dressed up for Thanksgiving! I like my holiday decor to blend in with my every day decor, so I put together a very simple black and white fall tablescape. 

Fall centerpieceIn my opinion, you don’t have to go over the top with holiday decorations to make a statement. Sometimes simple is beautiful.  
NEUTRAL PLACE SETTING
This whole look was really reasonable to put together using BHG Live Better Products at Walmart. I started with the Burlap Table Runner and layered it with these woven black and white place mats.

RUSTIC FALL CENTERPIECEFor the focal point I turned this beautiful white pumpkin tureen into a centerpiece and filled it with Indian corn, wheat and pheasant feathers. I gave it height by placing it on a wood craft canvas I found at Walmart.

Black and white fall tablescapeTo give it a little extra fall flare, I added a few white pumpkins along each side.

    my favorite part of entertaining is all of the warm comfort food options to serve. I live in Phoenix and it is so darn hot most of the year that cooking and serving hot meals can be uncomfortable so I generally have to stick with grilling or salads.

    I truly adore black and white in any room. I put a small white pumpkin on top of my mother’s 70 year old silver creamer (couldn’t throw the pumpkin away yet). I love family together at the Thanksgiving table sharing what the year has made them thankful for.
