I think we can all agree that the food, friends, and family are all the best parts of Thanksgiving.
But a pretty table to gather around makes it even better!
This tablescape idea is a departure from the expected fall classic color palette of orange, gold, and brown. The soft and peaceful palette is inspired by the pumpkins I bought for fall in the loveliest shade of green.
And a green Thanksgiving table with highlights of white and silver is easy to put together with only a few things! Most of it can be done way ahead because who needs to worry about a centerpiece when you’re prepping food and visiting with everyone?
The Green and White Thanksgiving Centerpiece.

I have a long formal dining table. It sits ten easily so filling it with a table runner or centerpiece is a little more challenging.
My super easy solution for this table was to make my “table runner” out of dried eucalyptus. It fills up the empty space in the middle of the table and makes a soft green foundation for my green, silver, and white theme.

You can usually find fresh eucalyptus at the grocery store. I bought a few bunches at Trader Joes and let it dry naturally on my fall French inspired mantel.
I added more interest with a few faux silvery green stems woven into the eucalyptus. I love this type of centerpiece for Thanksgiving because of its abundant, loose look. It’s a formal dining room, but this unstructured centerpiece makes it feel more comfortable.

Although I used nontraditional Thanksgiving colors, this table does still say “Thanksgiving” with turkeys! A collection of silver turkeys line up down the “centerscape”.
Silver adds the perfect touch of elegant sparkle (plus a touch of green color with my Williams-Sonoma vintage glass turkey dish).

White taper candles on each heirloom silver candlestick also add to the elegant look.

The turkeys used to look a whole lot different—see how I made over these ceramic pieces look like aged metal with some mirror paint.
I layered in lots of creamy white mini pumpkins and a few velvet pumpkins in green and ivory. And I filled in with a few pine cones.

The natural elements like the eucalyptus and pinecones add fabulous rustic texture, making this centerpiece more organic and casual.

Green, Silver, and White Thanksgiving Table Settings.
For the place settings, I used family heirloom Ironstone white dishes, crystal, and silver utensils. Thanksgiving seems like the perfect time to bring out these treasures while we are focused on family.
The vintage Ironstone white plates sit on wicker chargers, adding to the casual feel.

White dishes are my favorite for so many reasons. See ten reasons why white dishes are the perfect decorating accessory.
The table settings get soft pops of color with moss green napkins.
For a special extra touch, I added a napkin ring to each place setting as an “accessory”. These double as place cards and are personalized for each of our guests. The natural Kraft cardstock keeps it casual again.

I also made a free “So Very Thankful For You” version of this printable as well as a blank version for an easy quick special touch for your table! They’re available in the subscriber only library (the password is at the bottom of every email from me).
You can cut each name card into strips and fold them like I have, taping or gluing the backs together (Let them adhere for a little while with the aid of a paper clip). Or you can cut what would just be the front and hole punch the sides, then thread a piece of ribbon through and tie around the back of the napkin.

Other Green, Silver, and White Thanksgiving Table Decor Ideas.

This subtle nontraditional Thanksgiving color scheme is not limited to just what I’ve used. All of these would look amazing in this tablescape:

I hope this gives you some creative inspiration for a Thanksgiving dinner table with different colors. Then you can then enjoy the best part of the holiday together over a peaceful, elegant setting.

Beautiful, Kate! We’re having our second pandemic Turkey for Two at a rental on the coast. I will look around once there to see how to notch up our tablescape. Maybe even a turkey picnic on the beach if it’s warm enough…. LOL! Thanks for your ideas to make Thanksgiving special..
