Deep copper and bright bronze are a lovely additional to a traditional table. I prefer to bring in natural, textured elements like these seed-beaded placemats so the table doesn't get too glitzy.</div><div class="desc" itemprop="description" jquery1351916662052="214" sizcache="53" sizset="339" style="height: auto; line-height: 22px;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpDRDey0naqUCCFUhkHbngdVTC0L-oqu_I5Jzi0lERYMLg3e3zFL1KjrhYJ7Xi353whtwkH8g5j5ekioEakudp0gH3iE3OPbP7bB2NscyUYnwMANTB7uxbA1oQ-5cINw27slcVMBQHRNgR/s1600/Thanksgiving-Table-Setting-and-Centerpiece-Ideas-+Fall-+2012-+Ideas-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpDRDey0naqUCCFUhkHbngdVTC0L-oqu_I5Jzi0lERYMLg3e3zFL1KjrhYJ7Xi353whtwkH8g5j5ekioEakudp0gH3iE3OPbP7bB2NscyUYnwMANTB7uxbA1oQ-5cINw27slcVMBQHRNgR/s640/Thanksgiving-Table-Setting-and-Centerpiece-Ideas-+Fall-+2012-+Ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="desc" itemprop="description" jquery1351916662052="214" sizcache="53" sizset="339" style="height: auto; line-height: 22px; text-align: center;"></div><h2 itemprop="name" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Play With Scale</span></h2><div class="desc" itemprop="description" jquery1351916662052="214" sizcache="53" sizset="339" style="height: auto;"><div style="text-align: center;">Diminutive pears contrast with elongated stemware for a look that is elegant and playful. </div></div><div class="desc" itemprop="description" jquery1351916662052="214" sizcache="53" sizset="339" style="height: auto;"><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Erinn's Tip:</strong> Slender amber stemware adds height and drama to a simple table while gold pillar candles and votives sparkle as the centerpiece. </div></div><div class="desc" itemprop="description" jquery1351916662052="214" sizcache="53" sizset="339" style="height: auto;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR79Fp5LUpuiyazDLs9N6uY3wCuMyL95FnuvzHyVNINogMTXojIKlClfSGjj3khKdcxQVRrRbHtk1eBkI7RVas_zQ1ZGv_kQfle77-Pde_PGC2b-I9US3TL1oA47srndy_Km4iZix19Er0/s1600/Thanksgiving-Table-Setting-and-Centerpiece-Ideas-+Fall-+2012-+Ideas-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR79Fp5LUpuiyazDLs9N6uY3wCuMyL95FnuvzHyVNINogMTXojIKlClfSGjj3khKdcxQVRrRbHtk1eBkI7RVas_zQ1ZGv_kQfle77-Pde_PGC2b-I9US3TL1oA47srndy_Km4iZix19Er0/s640/Thanksgiving-Table-Setting-and-Centerpiece-Ideas-+Fall-+2012-+Ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><h2 itemprop="name" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Opt for an Aromatic Centerpiece</span></h2><div class="desc" itemprop="description" jquery1351916662052="214" sizcache="53" sizset="339" style="height: auto; line-height: 22px; text-align: center;">Who said a centerpiece needed to time-consuming, expensive or even floral?

This potpourri creates a lovely centerpiece and its subtle fragrance is a great addition to the table. Look for large, chunky potpourris and add elements from your own backyard, like pinecones and seed pods, to the mix.</div><div class="desc" itemprop="description" jquery1351916662052="214" sizcache="53" sizset="339" style="height: auto; line-height: 22px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOIlVgscIBMGUHl_vWWK5gtiDRyOcTnrOpqQc9zw4YmUdhH0MgSH_Pml_b_KaDTwCItrQrp75sD27RxFCpAo0YMsbdoaE0gWL1vG1cHTilRWMA3WaDk9EK4udnYnZN7H_-SM2OqrwxXPy-/s1600/Thanksgiving-Table-Setting-and-Centerpiece-Ideas-+Fall-+2012-+Ideas-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOIlVgscIBMGUHl_vWWK5gtiDRyOcTnrOpqQc9zw4YmUdhH0MgSH_Pml_b_KaDTwCItrQrp75sD27RxFCpAo0YMsbdoaE0gWL1vG1cHTilRWMA3WaDk9EK4udnYnZN7H_-SM2OqrwxXPy-/s640/Thanksgiving-Table-Setting-and-Centerpiece-Ideas-+Fall-+2012-+Ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="desc" itemprop="description" jquery1351916662052="214" sizcache="53" sizset="339" style="height: auto; line-height: 22px; text-align: center;"><br /><h2 itemprop="name"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Gleaming Glass Accents</span></h2><div class="desc" itemprop="description" jquery1351916662052="214" sizcache="53" sizset="339" style="height: auto;">Golds and ambers pair beautifully with the traditional browns and oranges of fall.</div><div class="desc" itemprop="description" jquery1351916662052="214" sizcache="53" sizset="339" style="height: auto;">  <strong>Erinn's Tip:</strong> Glass vases can be found very inexpensively in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes at your local housewares store.

You don't have to get something <em>special</em> out just for the season. It's all in the presentation a crisp linen napkin folded into thirds and laid under a bronze glass plate topped with a miniature pear sets each guests' plate off with style for very little money, time or fuss. </div><div class="desc" itemprop="description" jquery1351916662052="214" sizcache="53" sizset="339" style="height: auto;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnNRFnjcH_hnOeMhpmgaHIow2KmLyOk8iTu_iVrZZ1hJhX1Hmnvt7ygjsKonC5xbSCh6QG13mfnTVSbRlEkh3uu8MRAQMiTbZDAyHQFl_jGjkSMJYmmxmhW9r0WkfJBMZxnXczNOqMqnDZ/s1600/Thanksgiving-Table-Setting-and-Centerpiece-Ideas-+Fall-+2012-+Ideas-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnNRFnjcH_hnOeMhpmgaHIow2KmLyOk8iTu_iVrZZ1hJhX1Hmnvt7ygjsKonC5xbSCh6QG13mfnTVSbRlEkh3uu8MRAQMiTbZDAyHQFl_jGjkSMJYmmxmhW9r0WkfJBMZxnXczNOqMqnDZ/s640/Thanksgiving-Table-Setting-and-Centerpiece-Ideas-+Fall-+2012-+Ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="desc" itemprop="description" jquery1351916662052="214" sizcache="53" sizset="339" style="height: auto;"></div><h2 itemprop="name"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Bountiful Centerpiece</span></h2><div class="desc" itemprop="description" jquery1351916662052="214" sizcache="53" sizset="339" style="height: auto;">Set the stage for an unforgettable Thanksgiving feast with a centerpiece that exemplifies bounty.

The buffet, side tables and coffee table will benefit from a few fall touches as well. Bring in large branches of fall foliage and place in a tall vase for a seasonal decoration that is chic and free the best of both worlds. </div><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>

The key to successfully using this color combination is the proper balance of white. With a strong white backdrop, such as a white tree or tablecloth, the color scheme often seen on beach blankets and sailboats can take on a wintry appearance.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-wc-T38EHywHZFnnx6sa03rfhi3Ru3vdoHNlg-Ee3GbdIH4WH2-h8LdAgwx3OMHv21hi8lOhhSh0fjja_YmmPALXAafSnUJXE5msKLQ1NXFI-I5v53sdpt-D3axLBZAAFr12bloPNHZYb/s1600/Fresh-Christmas-Colors-2012-Ideas-11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-wc-T38EHywHZFnnx6sa03rfhi3Ru3vdoHNlg-Ee3GbdIH4WH2-h8LdAgwx3OMHv21hi8lOhhSh0fjja_YmmPALXAafSnUJXE5msKLQ1NXFI-I5v53sdpt-D3axLBZAAFr12bloPNHZYb/s640/Fresh-Christmas-Colors-2012-Ideas-11.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Green + Brown </span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Colors seen together in nature always work well in decorating, so don't be afraid to take a cue from Mother Nature. This is especially true when pairing brown and green, two of the most-popular earth tones used in home decor. For sophisticated simplicity, try decorating a green tree using only brown ornaments. Consider using several different shades of green for a layered, multi-toned look when decorating walls and hallways.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwlSZQddlj1LDMOvTuHMdajuiMnAqZkUcQDlcm7u0cBmbTIZccXpqe7CbAHjTpFyCJhnXnZDTi0V-zlMyl0EUodJNbW4AEr3YLjbcADdgmkCQDiHjsiCXcI_P7bW15GrpwKQ-zvjRiA0Oe/s1600/Fresh-Christmas-Colors-2012-Ideas-10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwlSZQddlj1LDMOvTuHMdajuiMnAqZkUcQDlcm7u0cBmbTIZccXpqe7CbAHjTpFyCJhnXnZDTi0V-zlMyl0EUodJNbW4AEr3YLjbcADdgmkCQDiHjsiCXcI_P7bW15GrpwKQ-zvjRiA0Oe/s640/Fresh-Christmas-Colors-2012-Ideas-10.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;"><b>Violet + Brown + Bronze + White </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Make it masculine! A color combination of violet, brown, bronze and white is a great way to add manly appeal to your home this holiday season. For proper balance, stick with brown and bronze as the dominant colors, with sprinkles of violet for accent, and set it all against a white tree.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghxVhar9nzFUyAQAEGIeLERp1E0CemNQIKouGYc0MbQO5mvs9HZICFZ-37Zne6cqOGgj96Fi7X3eGbZwl8oM7CtQkoF5zTOsXslrrkhOi4v1vhpw0HZ2g4rq8GV1MoXfKMMOtxinJfUKVu/s1600/Fresh-Christmas-Colors-2012-Ideas-9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghxVhar9nzFUyAQAEGIeLERp1E0CemNQIKouGYc0MbQO5mvs9HZICFZ-37Zne6cqOGgj96Fi7X3eGbZwl8oM7CtQkoF5zTOsXslrrkhOi4v1vhpw0HZ2g4rq8GV1MoXfKMMOtxinJfUKVu/s640/Fresh-Christmas-Colors-2012-Ideas-9.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;"><b>White + Brown </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">White and brown is simple, elegant and gender neutral. This combination is also incredibly versatile; add a few accents of blue or red to make it masculine, or add pink for a feminine touch.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTkowGE_y1fbzUfescUG6dJomNMjeiBsKiwwjForjvk9EUL2tbqRXJ0jwxRQA7jDFSO58L7vNQXUOuua82wFwODxDiwwcAzpQbV-IfAKVr3Mlk9J1TDdYukEqgWqJ1usUZncOamMZSXh8X/s1600/Fresh-Christmas-Colors-2012-Ideas-8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTkowGE_y1fbzUfescUG6dJomNMjeiBsKiwwjForjvk9EUL2tbqRXJ0jwxRQA7jDFSO58L7vNQXUOuua82wFwODxDiwwcAzpQbV-IfAKVr3Mlk9J1TDdYukEqgWqJ1usUZncOamMZSXh8X/s640/Fresh-Christmas-Colors-2012-Ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;"><b>Hot Pink + Lime Green + White + Red </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">During the past few years, hot pink has become a haute hue for modernist holiday decor and is often paired with silver or gold. To add a little more Yuletide pop, pair hot pink with lime green, red and white.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJP7ydKcstPtlZIAX08Ur-CeIfE_hsHeeXach51-fwq7CSqRhz3541QmlcoYNGTU75oNxeSHCakxUXuB0CBJFWvxrm8m6eYuJtpNKIY9CzAeLvxXH-QW3NfO7WoXzbGNyfWkf9nfqO99OF/s1600/Fresh-Christmas-Colors-2012-Ideas-7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJP7ydKcstPtlZIAX08Ur-CeIfE_hsHeeXach51-fwq7CSqRhz3541QmlcoYNGTU75oNxeSHCakxUXuB0CBJFWvxrm8m6eYuJtpNKIY9CzAeLvxXH-QW3NfO7WoXzbGNyfWkf9nfqO99OF/s640/Fresh-Christmas-Colors-2012-Ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;"><b>Turquoise + White + Parchment </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Beige as an accent color? Yep!
