Silver Thanksgiving Table Decor: silver mercery glass and candle holders, DIY silver pumpkins, and white pumpkins create a beautiful table.
This year I decided to do some silver Thanksgiving table decor -something a little different. And I just love how it turned out. It's sophisticated and sparkly and festive.
The Centrepiece
I was inspired first by these cute little silver turkey candle holders. These were bought several years ago on sale after Thanksgiving at HomeSense -gotta love a clearance sale. 😉 A great alternative would be to find any cute turkey decor for Thanksgiving and give it a makeover with some silver spray paint.
Next I used some beautiful white pumpkins on the table and I thought some silver pumpkins would be a fun addition too.
These pretty mercury glass inspired pumpkins are a DIY. They were the perfect addition to our silver Thanksgiving table decor.
I used lots of silver and mercury glass candle holders and white candles. I also used this pretty silver cake stand at one end, and a white glass pedestal for one little pumpkin at the other end.
The Place Settings
Next I got out my "good dishes", which I so rarely use for big family dinners since they can't go in the dishwasher. They were layered on a simple silver charger.
I made these sweet "give thanks" plates to layer on top -see the tutorial on how to make DIY give thanks plates here.
Each place had a special treat, a homemade pumpkin chocolate truffle, see how I made them and get the recipe here. I put them in my favourite little individual domed holders.
Finally I found these pretty free Thanksgiving printables at Catch My Party and printed and cut them out. Each domed holder got a little ribbon tied around it and the Thanksgiving printable with double sided tape.
The table was really quite simple, and easy to do ahead, since there were no fresh flowers on the table. I often use the silver glasses, chargers and candle holders at Christmas. It was fun to try something new with a silver theme for Thanksgiving.
I really liked all the sparkle, balanced with the simplicity of all the white and rustic presence of the pumpkins.
With silver Thanksgiving table decor, life really is a party!

Hi Gail,
Yes I did use white, but silver could be pretty too, or maybe something with a silver pattern? Happy Thanksgiving!

Love this! Did you use a white tablecloth? I've been thinking of one maybe in platinum but it might be silver overload.
