This year I was given the task of creating a centerpiece for our Thanksgiving table (that will seat fourteen). Instead of relying on classic autumnal decorations like pine cones (which I used for place settings last year), acorns, or leaves, I decided to go with a more rustic vibe that still incorporated outside elements. I kept it low and long (to not obstruct everyone's view at the table), and lined a sleek slate tray with burlap, added miniature succulents, and filled it in with cranberries.
