Decorating for Thanksgiving
I know that it feels early, but Thanksgiving is only 38 days away! It feels like a long time, but it’s really not – those 38 days will fly by. Despite how Christmas-obsessed I am, there’s a certain coziness to Thanksgiving (and overwhelming feeling of an intro to spooky season!) that can’t be denied, and I find myself longing for, especially now that it’s September. Lots of good food, candlelight, and of course, being surrounded by family – and maybe even some friends – is one of my favourite things about this time of the year. But, in my opinion, a well decorated space also really sets the cozy mood, so let’s talk about some of my favourite decor for this upcoming Thanksgiving season!

Pumpkins Galore
Is there anything more perfect than pumpkins for the fall season? (The answer is no). And the best part about using pumpkins in your Thanksgiving, or even your day-to-day fall decor? They can easily be used into the Halloween season too! If you ask me, or anyone really, pumpkins are the quintessential Thanksgiving decoration.
Candles and Blankets and Pillows, oh my!
Thanksgiving is all about eating lots of delicious food & wine, celebrating with your loved ones and of course, achieving maximum coziness. In my opinion, there’s no better way to do that than with tons of beautiful candles, cozy blankets & comfy throw pillows. Of course, just be careful when lighting candles – keep them in a secure vessel, away from areas that could be dangerous and keep your eyes on them throughout the evening. Yes, this is basic candle-safety, but it’s always good to have a reminder.
Miscellaneous Seasonal Decor
It’s definitely obvious to include some seasonal decor to get that Thanksgiving feeling going, but I know a lot of people don’t love to have tons of seasonal decor – can’t relate; the more the merrier to me! But if that sounds like you, I promise that you don’t need a lot of it to achieve the seasonal feeling. Plus, who says that it can be functional too? Use pumpkin-shaped soup bowls, placemats & even a pitcher to hold the flowers that your guests bring as a Thanksgiving thank-you. It isn’t Thanksgiving to me without some seasonal decor to set the mood!
