10 Thanksgiving Centerpiece & Wreath Ideas

Table centerpiece ideas for Thanksgiving dinner! These are some easy and creative ideas for making centerpieces at home from candles and votive. It is eye catching and goes perfectly with the theme of harvest and family dinner. Interesting use of corn, beans, chestnuts, fall leaves etc to create some simple and stylish centerpieces for your thanksgiving harvest table.

Love the artichoke candle votive. The bunch of candles look so cottage chic and are perfect for a lovely home cooked Thanksgiving dinner table.


Short on time? Just add a handful of different nuts to votive for this earthy gorgeous centerpiece display.


Best frugal sophistication for thanksgiving. Pick fallen autumn leaves and wrap them with a bit of twine for this fabulous orange glow. Perfect for decorating this winter!


Love this mantel. Use vellum paper cut in an extra long tapering triangle and wrap it around a votive or tall glass vase. The beautiful shades of orange totally syncs with autumn colors. Easy thanksgiving decoration.


Another variant, use dried beans and straw to create a lovely country style centerpiece. Love the burlap table runner for Harvest table. So charming!


Candle votive filler with corn, cranberries and fruits make for delightful inexpensive decoration.


Brunch of corn cobs tied with twine to create a unique Thanksgiving centerpiece.


Wreath are easy to make and these are some beautiful styles. Use craft store leaves and glue them on. Easy and super inexpensive.


Borrow from nature! These red berries branches have been twisted around with floral wire.


Collect fall colored leaves for crafting this wreath. Would look amazing for fall and winter!

Ideas and Inspiration : Home decoration for Halloween

Halloween is here ! I see people decorating their homes and I am so inspired. Every year its fun to try new decoration ideas and get creative. For some like me, internet comes to rescue. Halloween decoration is specially fun because of the wackiness and crazy ideas.

I have put together a few decoration ideas for Halloween to inspire you to create your own. Most of these are past year's inspiration from Pottery barn, and some simple diy too. Get your creative juices flowing and let the craziness begin :))

Carving is not for everyone. But with simple stencils or help from internet, one can come up with this stunning decoration. Halloween and pumpkins, but add a twist and try your hand at this. You are sure to get compliments :)


Inviting people over, and short of Halloween ideas, this decoration is tasteful and fun, lots of gothic galmour here, black and white with a good dose of orange.Love the table runner !!


It might look like a challenge to decorate your doorway but not so much. Get loads of pumpkin and spay cans in white and silver. Use some thrifted lamps, dollar store candles,dried branches from backyard, get the inspiration. Stunning yet simple.


Loved this Halloween decor idea. Black and orange rules. Get some foamy sheets and stamp out the leaves, need not be so elaborate. Buy some interesting candle stands, use some creativity and bring out good old black umbrellas. Boo !


This has to be the simplest yet the cutest Halloween decoration ever ! Large orange paper lanterns, sprinkling of dried leaves and a spooky tree. Love the evil faces and simple diy project. Get your kids together and make one for your home today ! My favourite :D



This is so elegant, but the inspiration behind is simple to use. Black and white in large glass jars. Befitting treat and a beautiful way to decorate any corner. Use the candies for kids who come knocking too. ;)


A simple and stylish idea for Halloween. Little mess and very pretty. For those who like to celebrate Halloween in quite elegance. Perfect for stairs and  doorway.


I loved this Halloween decoration for bar, there is a lot of thought put into this design.With friends coming over, a good way to keep spirits high on a Halloween night. Perfect !

Home Accents: Candleholders and arrangements, the unique way !

Candles are everyone's favourite home accessory . And though it's not be difficult to get a set of candle you like, it is how you present them that shows your creativity !

Here I am presenting some ideas that will inspire you to create the perfect arrangement; These candle holders are unusual and really fun, I found them interesting and beautiful at the same time, so go ahead and get inspired :)


Birch wood is carved here into a set of candle stand, and votive candles are used in it. Totally earthy and has a lovely autumn feel to it. It can be absolutely free too ;)





All the inspiration one needs for this is an interesting birdcage. Simple rustic and absolutely charming !!






A fancy dinner planned? Get inspired..just scoop out some fruits and the most amazing table arrangement is ready. I totally dig this !




How about some spice ;) For a romantic evening or to simply jazz up the atmosphere..raid your kitchen for some spice and this is what you can achieve !





Have you got a collection of some vintage tea cans? or maybe some interesting boxes hidden away? Well, this simple arrangement asks for no more..get some flowers to add to the effect.




This simple arrangement is just some glass jars and paper doily..you could cut out a snow flake or any other design to adhere to the jar and what an effect. Simple and elegant !





This is the best and most stunning arrangement ever !!
All one needs to do is scrunch up some foil and place candles, you can even use left over candles in any size for it. See economical and OOK!



The arrangements I have presented here are mostly about recycling or upcycling. It can be simply a scrunched up foil or an old bird cage and even kitchen items. The next trio is just that, orphan cups and saucers, egg holders and glass bottles. I am amazed at the versatility of the candles, how they can transform old and drab into a stunning piece, please upcycle and recycle. You will love to show off your creativity and save environment too :)


Simple and stunning ! Get a bunch of egg holders and transform any corner into a masterpiece :)





A set of orphaned cup and saucer from the vintage collection? Something that holds a special place in your heart? Go ahead and make it into a enviable piece of art.



I love these candles with dried flowers and leaves on them, but you can use your favourite candles in this arrangement and watch the glass cast its soft glow !




I hope you have gathered some amazing ideas and are ready to make them your own ! Please let me know if you would like to share your pictures here. I would love that ! :)
