Hello!
I think i can help you in this area!
I just did my first thanksgiving dinner last year AND it was a success!
Well, for starters ...
The table should have a definately have a centerpiece that performs a solely decorative function..
However, at a formal dinner in Europe, the centerpiece may be huge and, including candles, may extend the full length of the table. Centerpieces should be of low height, so as not to obstruct visibility of diners' faces
Placement is also very important
Here is a great website that i referred to :

As far as decorations and such..
You can find inexpensive accessories at your local craft and gift shops.
GOOD LUCK WITH THE DINNER!
HOPE THIS HELPS YOU!
Consult a British book on etiquette. Mosy of them have a chapter on table manners, including table setting.
It is not as complicated as you appear to think.

The food network (Sandra Lee) does a different tablescape every day. She may give you some ideas. Hope this helps
