Natural Holiday Table Decor Ideas

It’s that time of year where we start gathering with family and friends and hosting parties and dinners. Whether you are a formal seated place setting person or more of a buffet family style person these table decor ideas will work for any type of occasion.

I have a style, I guess you could call it a style, when it comes to decorating. More so like a style rule: Keep it inexpensive. Keep it simple. Keep it natural.

I love using natural elements to decorate my tables and home during the holiday season. I especially love those transitional elements that go perfectly from Thanksgiving right through Christmas so I can leave them up for several months.

Live greenery with twinkling lights, red cranberries and pomegranates and squash are a few things that go well with both holidays.

Here is a few of the very simple things I like to incorporate into my table decor:

Antique crocheted table cloths (over a paint drop cloth)
branches and greenery from around my neighborhood or up north in the high country (think fallen pine branches, leaves, logs/sticks and wood pieces)
Fresh herbs in vases or potted
Nuts and seeds (in their shells!) and I set out a vintage nut cracker set for anyone to help themselves
Gourds, squash and pumpkins - the best part is I get to roast them when the season is over!
Candles (dripless tapers and remote operated flameless ones)
