Elegant Heirloom Thanksgiving Table Scape
I call this an heirloom table because I am using heirloom pumpkins and heirloom pieces! The fresh pumpkins add a fresh element to this festive table while the heirloom pieces add some love!
To create this centerpiece you will need…
4 Heirloom Pumpkins – I found mine at Sprouts
2 Blue and white ginger jars { click here for mine}
Faux Hydrangeas in varying colors {I purchased mine here}
Mini blue and white vases – {here}
Gold Votives {here}
Faux berries and plums
You may recognize these hydrangea arrangements from my Fall Home Tour {Here}. I loved how they turned out and thought it would be great to be able to reuse them! Try doing this in your home! Save yourself the time by reusing pieces in a different way.
This center piece was created in 3 simple steps…
- Add the blue and white jars filled with hydrangeas to the center of the table. Place the small blue and white vases filled with berries on opposite sides of the table next to a large jar. {There will be only one vase one each side of the table.}
- Next place your heirloom pumpkins in between the jars. One at each end of the table and one in the middle. Look and see which end needs another pumpkin and prop it on top of the other pumpkin.
- Tuck the gold votives into spaces to create a nice grouping. I nestled a few hydrangea heads in between the pumpkins to soften the look.
Step back and move things around until it looks fabulous! Pat yourself of the back, your beautiful heirloom centerpiece is complete!
To make this Thanksgiving table extra special, I added some heirloom pieces.
- The tablecloth is a piece I will have for a lifetime and pass onto my daughter someday.
- I used my monogramed plates that have special notes from my children on the back. You can read more about them here and how to get some yourself.
- My mom loves blue and white. So I used blue and white ginger jars to remind me of her as the focal point on the table.
Little details that are special to you and your family will add love and sentiment to your table!
Set your table ahead of time and enjoy it for a few weeks before the craziness begins!

Randi, your table is so gorgeous, filled with so much beauty and color. I can only imagine how special this table will make everyone feel when they sit down to share a meal. The most magical thing about your table, though, is the heart that created it with so much care and love. xo Lidy

Thank you so much Sheila! You are so kind to me! Wishing you a wonderful day my friend! xo
This Thanksgiving tablesscape is gorgeous! I love it all, Randi! As I was looking through your photos, I noticed your dining room chairs. So funny, but I bought ones very similar to them a few weeks ago, and I’m going to reupholster them. Did you reupholster these yourself? I love the color combo of them 🙂
Hi Marly! I love your name! Thank you for your sweet comment! I didn’t not recover the chairs, they came that way. Best wishes and Happy Thanksgiving! xo
