Thanksgiving is one of my favorite meals of the year! I love the food (especially the stuffing!), and the chance to be with family. Growing up, holiday meals were always enjoyed over a beautifully set table, and I always looked forward to it! It doesn’t have to be anything elaborate, but taking the time to make the table a little more special made the whole dinner more memorable.
For this table, this year, I opted for a simple, yet elegant table with striking elements such as the gorgeous pewter chargers, complimented by beautiful white plates from Juliska and large eucalyptus arrangement.
Whenever I set a table, I pick one or two pieces to design the whole table around. For this table, it was these gorgeous pewter chargers! I chose a simple grey table runner, striped grey and white napkins, and rustic wood candle holders so that the chargers would really shine. Then I added some pops of red with roses in bud vases and candlesticks, and some fresh green eucalyptus in this beautiful textured ceramic vase!
I always think it’s fun to surprise guests with one or two really special treats. Sometimes it’s a delicious cocktail, calligraphy, or favors. For this table I set up mini charcuterie boards at each place setting, for each guest to enjoy as we gathered. So cute and so easy, and a really fun conversation starter!
I can’t get over these beautiful Berry & Thread dinner plates from Juliska. They are so well made – you can see in the photos how solid they are! The details are beyond gorgeous – I love the subtle texture they add with the raised thread and berries design around the edge.
Investing in a set of quality white plates is so helpful for entertaining all year round – you can use them for any color scheme, holiday, or your everyday family dinner. And the simple design means these plates can be used for any table you have in mind, from rustic to glam!
The Berry & Thread collection has so many gorgeous pieces from serving dishes to glassware, and I was so excited to use the Berry & Thread cake stand to serve pumpkin and red velvet cupcakes! (The pumpkin cupcakes were adapted from my Pumpkin Caramel Layer Cake recipe.)
Thank you to Juliska for gifting their items used in this post. As always, all opinions are my own.
