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!
Fall Table Setting with copper mugs

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!
