Our handmade paper star lanterns have been bringing people together under the stars since 1996. In this article, we will share some inspiring and creative Thanksgiving table decor ideas that will surely make your celebration truly magical.
Vibrant Harvest Colours
Celebrate the bountiful harvest season by incorporating vibrant colours into your Thanksgiving table decor. Choose table linens, napkins, and decorative elements in warm autumn hues such as deep reds, burnt oranges, and golden yellows.
These colours will harmonise beautifully with our vibrant red lantern; the orange lantern, and blue of the USA flag star lantern. Creating a captivating blend of patriotic and autumnal themes. Adorn the table with colourful Autumn foliage, gourds, and mini pumpkins. The combination of Paper Starlights lanterns and vibrant harvest colours will infuse your gathering with warmth, joy, and the spirit of Thanksgiving.
Nature-Inspired Rustic Charm
Embrace the beauty of nature and infuse your Thanksgiving table with a rustic charm. Use natural elements such as wooden logs, pinecones, and dried leaves as the foundation for your decor. Scatter some autumn leaves and small pumpkins around the lanterns to complete the rustic look. This decor style will bring warmth and a sense of tranquility to your Thanksgiving celebration.
