Thanksgiving is coming up soon, and that means it’s time to start planning your table decor! We are going to be in Seattle with our family for Thanksgiving, but I do have several "friendsgiving" type of things coming up. Instead of serving a full dinner, we're sharing appetizers, drinks, and desserts. It's a little more casual and most of my friends want to share their favorite "tried and true" or "new" appetizer or dessert with each other. This little set up is perfect for that.
Thanksgiving Table Inspiration
Creating a beautiful Thanksgiving table setting is easier than you think.
With just a few simple tips, you can create a Table setting that will wow your guests and make your Thanksgiving even more special.
Here are four tips to get you started.
1} Choose a color scheme. This will help to unify your table's look and make it cohesive.
2} Use lots of natural elements, this is the perfect time to take advantage of the rich colors of leaves, pumpkins and fruit.
3} Don't overthink your table linens. A simple runner and cloth napkins really make for a festive table.
4)} Don’t be afraid to use candles! They add a warm and cozy feeling to any room. happy planning!
I started by choosing this gorgeous Linen Runner in a warm Cognac color. Napkins to match make for a beautiful autumn colored first layer.
The Flowers
Once I spied these big pomegranates, I knew I wanted to make the flower centerpiece in colors that echoed their color palette. These ruffled garden roses are amazing, aren't they? Some seeded eucalyptus and pink red proteas complete the looks, and I tucked in two little white mini pumpkins. Usually I put these on a skewer, but because the base of this arrangement with the protea and seeded eucalyptus was pretty sturdy I could just place them in there and they stayed!
The antique teapot is a great container, I love that it is covered in leaves and acorns. I placed it on a large antique ironstone platter with a garland of leaves all around the rim.
Autumn Colors
The vintage forks and spoons with bakelite handles suit this season so beautifully. Arranged in the 19th century treen trophy cup, they add another layer of delicious autumn colors! The organic beeswax taper candles not only smell good, they add such a pretty glow.
Jewelry on the Table-Glassware
I love using antique and vintage glasses, they don't even have to match! {Although this time they do} Using different glasses always adds to the conversation, guests notice when a glass is antique or vintage and has something special about it. These Needle Etched Crystal Wine Glasses have flowers and branches etched into them.
By using fall colors and seasonal decorations, you can give your holiday table a festive and elegant look that will impress your guests. I hope you get inspired and start planning your own Thanksgiving table setting masterpiece today!

Beautiful, would join you in a heartbeat.
What a gorgeous vessel and vase for your flowers your teapot makes Lidy! I love the acorn and leaf details on the lid. And those roses…wow! Big and beautiful blooms to pair with the protea, eucalyptus and pomegranate. Gorgeous stemware too! It reminds of my MIL’s wedding crystal pattern she chose 60 years ago. You’re serving my favorite tipple…cheers to November and Thanksgiving! As always, it’s a treat to share blooms with you on the these Mondays. ♥
