Branch Out
Create a woodsy, modern mood with branches from your backyard. Just cut off any remaining leaves and trim so all branches stand at a similar height. Then paint the branches a bright color (yellow looks chic here) to add pop and place in a tall vase.

Cheers with Charm
It can be hard to tell which glass is yours even if you haven't had too much wine! Use colored ribbon to personalize wine glasses so guests can keep track of their favorite beverage.

Lovely Leaves
This year, skip the cornucopia. Pick up some pretty leafy greens like kale or an aromatic herb like thyme and arrange them in decorative pitchers or vases. Need extra room on your table for food? Place these decorations on your buffet, leaving space on the dining table for the gravy boat, butter dish and salt and pepper shakers.
