Thanksgiving week is upon us! While you may have your recipes selected and grocery list finalized, don’t forget to create a dining area worthy of your remarkable Thanksgiving meal. Afteral, Thanksgiving is a holiday centered around bountiful harvest with the joys that family and friends bring to the proverbial, (and literal) table.
Classy Comfort : Set a lovely, low key table for a cozy, homey feel. Save your wine bottles and transform them into candle holders, collect mason jars to hold autumn-hued florals and welcome guests to their seat with a holiday message tied to a baguette. Weave in seasonal ferns to give the table some vivaciousness while alluding to the fall harvest. These rustic elements create a casual yet cohesive atmosphere.
Get Personal : Personalize your event by adding name cards to the table just as Lynn of Easton Events has done here. These hand-made custom-designed place cards are simple and will make your guests feel special. Bring the outdoors in with china berry, scented geranium and tree branches for a natural element to your Turkey table.
White with a Pop of Color : An all white fall table is completely unexpected. This tablescape is ornate, elegant and more formal than what we may be used to. However, if you’re looking to make an everlasting impression, and set your Thanksgiving meal apart from any other fall dinners, this may be the route for you! Go simple, but be sure to include at least one colorful element on the table. We recommend florals in mercury glass to tie the “simple, yet elegant” theme together.
Balance the Table : Stay chic with a bold, striking centerpiece. Think of bright, swaying florals arranged within sections of log for an element of surprise and innovation.The pop of color on the wood table brings this setting to life while keeping it modern. Scatter in glass and mercury votives to add a whimsical flare.
Delightfully Dim : Set the mood, and dim the lights. Rely on candlelight for an intimate and romantic ambiance. Create an ethereal, woodland tablescape with intricate florals arranged within cross-sections of wood, thick pillar candles situated in large iron lanterns, and earthenware pots of fresh herbs.
