Thanksgiving Table Setting and More

I’m really excited about today’s post! After batting a wind storm and power outage I am finally able to share some great Thanksgiving entertaining ideas with you today! I’ve partnered with a few other fabulous bloggers to bring you fresh new ideas for the upcoming holiday. Today, I’m sharing a new Thanksgiving Table Setting idea full of fresh flowers, metallics and pops of earth tones. Thanksgiving_Holiday_Hop_BLOG

Fall Table Setting with white pumpkinsI rarely use color but when I do, I love using rich earth tones! This is an elegant and rustic Thanksgiving Table Setting can be put together using basic things from around the house and flowers from the grocery store.

Colorful Thanksgiving Table Setting

INDUSTRIAL COPPER CANDLE HOLDERIf you follow me on Instagram, you may know that for our wedding anniversary my husband and I always follow the ‘traditional’ gift giving guides. For year seven, copper is the gift theme so my husband got me this industrial copper candle from Max & Lexie Etsy Shop. I love it!

Simple fall place setting

I kept the place settings simple with white plates, DIY Gold Leafed Plates (tutorial coming soon) and white napkins. Adorned with a white pumpkin and greener.

Fall flower arrangement using cranberriesFilling vases with cranberries is an easy way to add color and festive touches to your tablescape. These would work great for Christmas too!

    Holiday family dinners at our house have always been about the food and the family time, so I’ve never drastically styled our dining table. I love your ideas and this year I’m going to go for it!

It’s the time of year when most of you are putti It’s the time of year when most of you are putting away your outdoor furniture to prepare for the winter… but this is actually when we use our backyard the most! Hot tub nights, dinner outside, computer days at the table and relaxing on the new U-shaped sectional. These are the most perfect fall days. We leave all our furniture out year round, it’s the only furniture I’ll own, no matter the climate.

Watch until you see it all lit up at the end!!! I Watch until you see it all lit up at the end!!! I add a little bit more decor every year and this year all my new Halloween finds are from @grandinroad ! The fun witch legs are my favorite, but I actually love the little skull wreaths so much too. Wait, the light up spider webs on the trees are also the perfect addition. I have to say, this year’s decor definitely takes the win! Almost time for trick or treaters!

Exterior Update! It’s been a long time coming! W Exterior Update! It’s been a long time coming! We had these custom gas copper lanterns made by @bevolo to bring the perfect blend of timeless craftsmanship and character to our beautiful stone and brick exterior. 🤎 they are exactly what we envisioned! STUNNING. From the custom design to the warm, flickering glow after dark, every detail works together to create a look that feels both elevated and inviting. 

We couldn’t be happier with how our custom lanterns turned out. They bring the perfect finish touches to our exterior. My favorite part of our house just got even better. The happiness I feel every time I see them flickering in the night ❤️
