elements for simple stylish thanksgiving table
The first steps for the table is to chose what tablecloth and which dishes to use.
I decided against using the full Thanksgiving set. Instead I used the vintage gold trimmed china and a turkey salad plate plus a Friendly Village salad plate. I was going for simple and easy!
Though there is gold edging and some of the fruits in the dinner plates, it is not in the others. The colors looked dull against th gold one.
The deep red burgundy looked much better. Those extra dishes don’t match the Thanksgiving set exactly; they are ones I have picked up over time from Home Goods.
simple stylish centerpiece
Using what I have was important for me this year and I didn’t want to use any velvet pumpkins. Simple but stylish was my aim. My goal was to help create a table for a warm gathering for family.
I added a pair of tall brass candlesticks with deep red burgundy candles. They match my buffet fall vignette.
Next, I headed to my closet where my scarves are.
One of my pretty silk woven scarves with rich colors and patterns for autumn was going to work as a stylish base for the centerpiece. The pattern resembles leaves and the gold fringe is just a right touch for style. The color of the scarf and tablecloth does does change depending on the light from the window. In the morning light, it looked purple.
Scarves are excellent affordable options for your table decorations. The fabric should be soft snd easy to push around to add depth and ‘ruffles’ for visual interest.
Mini pumpkins are easily arranged around the candlesticks and down the scarf to complete the fall centerpiece.
finishing the simple stylish thanksgiving table
The silver serving pieces are spread out ready for the serving bowls.
The soft yellow napkins are squares folded over 4 times and pulled through my wooden napkins rings.
Family silver and crystal glasses are always pretty.
I used the vintage gold trimmed white dinner plates with the turkey salad plate for a stylish look. Both are pure white with different designs that complement each other. I like how the gold fringe of the scarf is a great accent.
This plate stack would also look good with plain white plates. Salad or dessert plates with a season designs are another affordable option.
