Setting the Table: Thanksgiving

Lauren here - Thanksgiving is definitely one of my favorite holidays. I love to cook and I get to make all my favorites, plus extra special time spent with loved ones and family. Since I didn’t have a chance to host last year, I want to go all out this year - I am sure many of you can relate!

I’m not a huge fan of traditional Thanksgiving day décor, so I made it my own here, mixing in fall colors and adding in gold, of course!

Read below to see what décor, dinnerware and recipes you can incorporate into your next Thanksgiving celebration.

  1. What’s a Thanksgiving day soiree without a cocktail?! This caramel apple martini looks delicious.

  2. This table runner is chic, affordable and can be used on many occasions.

  3. I love white pumpkins and I love this mix of small and large gourds in there as well.

  4. These candelabras are stunning! I love the rust color too!

  5. Sage green candles are an absolute must.

  6. Branches are such a nice way to add texture and height to a table setting. These curly willow branches will look great on any table or kitchen counter.

  7. Pampas are my favorite. I’ve never seen amber Pampas and I have to say, I am a HUGE fan.

  8. Preserved maple leaves would also be a great thing to sprinkle on the table to add some more autumn vibes.

  9. I also love a good serving board. This petrified wood serving board is lovely! It’s unique, fits into the fall vibes and is different than a standard wood or marble serving board.

  10. This white ceramic vase is amazing! I love the shape and texture and the price point is the icing on the cake.

  11. These gold maple leaves will also look gorgeous on the table and add a little bit sparkle.

  12. These drinking glasses are the absolute cutest! I love the range of colors.

  13. These leather placemats are so handsome.

  14. Confession…I’ve used this charger a few times now, but it’s a good one! It’s a simple gold charger that is beautiful and well priced.

  15. This Thanksgiving appetizer and cheese board is so pretty! I love a good snack board and while everything finishes cooking this will keep your guests busy.

  16. These sage green dinner plates are the perfect color.

  17. These might be my favorite napkins ever! They are so good!

  18. It’s no secret that I love lucite. These napkin rings are simple, cute and affordable. I have similar ones that are vintage that I absolutely love!

  19. Tortoiseshell gold flatware…do I need to say more?!

  20. These wood serving boards are adorable and I love that you can buy a set too!


I hope you found some décor, recipes and items that you’ll incorporate into your next Thanksgiving day celebration. Happy Thanksgiving!
