A Casual Modern Thanksgiving Tablescape


November 19, 2019

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I teamed up with guest blogger Heidi Rascusin from My Happy Now Blog, to share with us a cool and casual tablescape for Thanksgiving. My favorite part is the Eucalyptus along the table, the inspiration for our newest and almost sold out twirl dress! I love incorporating flowers and nature into any setting, and a greenery at a Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving tablescape is a must for me!

 

A Cool + Casual Tablescape for Thanksgiving

MEET HEIDI: MY HAPPY LIFE BLOG

There is just nothing like a beautiful Thanksgiving tablescape setting the scene for family and friends gathered together to eat, laugh and give thanks. 

 

Friendsgiving table settings with paper plates

 

As I thought about how I wanted my table to look, I considered the modern gathering. 

The friendsgiving, the potluck style, the deep fried turkey and the pumpkin pie cheesecake. 

I also thought about the Christmas obsession and how everyone seems to want to deck the halls long before grace is said around the Thanksgiving table.

So I came up with a spread that would marry the two holiday feels ~ both classic fall and the start of Christmas ~ and kept it truly casual, complete with paper plates and napkins.

No tablescape is complete without fresh greens, and I chose eucalyptus this time, although edible greens are always a great choice like rosemary or sage.

I found rose gold paper plates at Target, along with leaf-patterned napkins of the same color and gold polka-dot napkins. 

Because paper plates scream backyard barbeque, I layered them over my white dinnerware and gold chargers. 

I bunched the two napkins together and tied with two different kinds of twine. 

I then placed a fun and modern card on each setting.

I used a short table runner that I found at Target in Christmas colors as my base, and placed pumpkins and trees on top.

I chose classic white and gold, but also incorporated rose gold and a peachy pink which is picked up in some of the cards.  This color combination is really speaking to me this season, but I knew it needed to be broken up just a bit.  The pop of green eucalyptus did just the trick.

I think the trees definitely feel Christmas-y without being over the top for a classically fall holiday.

When it comes to décor, I am a less-is-more person. 

I believe choosing items intentionally and carefully allows for a bigger impact. 

I love the simplicity of good design without too much clutter.

I really enjoyed arranging this tablescape with both practicality and aesthetics in mind, and I hope it inspires others to do the same.

The beautiful prints for each setting came from oliveandeveco.com ~ she has a whole assortment of Thanksgiving designs which are just darling!  You will also want to check out both her Christmas and everyday designs.

Happy Thanksgiving,

Heidi
