9 gorgeous Thanksgiving tables

 




Hi friends. I’m so happy to be feeling better so I can visit with you here on the blog to share a few of my newest looks for setting a gorgeous Thanksgiving table.

 

Today I’m showcasing 9 favorite ways to set a Thanksgiving table, using napkins, placemats, runners and tablecloths exclusively by Pacific & Rose.

 




It’s so much fun to take a beautiful hand-printed tablecloth or runner and use it as the inspiration for the whole table.

 

What I’m sharing today are elegant, simple and not over-the-top tables that are easily replicated, and I’ll give you some behind the scenes tips for setting similar tables right in your own home.





ONE 


Let’s start with a dramatic look using complementary colors. This bold and wonderful pattern is called Gayatri Peacock. When I first saw it I knew I had to pair it with orange for fall, and I think it’s a Thanksgiving look few could ever forget!

 

Start with the Gayatri Peacock Tablecloth and Gayatri Peacock Buti Napkins, and then use a contrasting natural-fiber placemat, simple glassware, and wicker-wrapped water glasses, if available, to create a similar look.

 




Now we can come in with hits of orange through the tall taper candles in vintage brass candlesticks and adorable napkin rings. Of course, autumn leaves and pumpkins are the most perfect accents for this look!


Placemats and napkin rings are from CB Lifestyle.





TWO 


One of the most classic patterns in the collection is Belita. I just love all the soothing colors in this pretty pattern. For this table, I started with the table runner, and then used the matching placemats and napkins.

 

To showcase the lovely colors of Belita, I selected my go-to simple white farmhouse style dinner plates so the napkins would really pop at each place setting.


Late-season hydrangeas from the garden work so well with the colors of Belita, as do the soft muted colors of all the pumpkins.

 



 

THREE

 

The pattern of the season has got to be Umbria, and here I’ve used the Mustard colorway to accentuate the glorious sunflowers at the center of the table.

 

I grew dozens and dozens of sunflowers in my garden this year, and it all comes down to moments like this… displaying them at the table with table linens in similar hues.

 

Green mini pumpkins and eucalyptus leaves soften the look of the table and add seasonal charm to the whole room. 


Umbria Mustard is so perfect for a sunny Thanksgiving table look! Here I've layered placemats on top of the tablecloth for upscale style.

 



 

FOUR


Here’s a similar look, this time using Umbria Olive. I’ve again layered placemats on the matching tablecloth, which gives each place setting a lovely singular arrangement on its own.

 

Dried white hydrangeas and a collection of heirloom pumpkins add that Thanksgiving boost we need at this table. And what about these adorable pumpkin plates? They match so perfectly with the Umbria Olive linens.

 

Classic bamboo flatware looks amazing with the Umbria Olive napkins and placemats and adds that much-needed texture that I love incorporating in every table.

 




FIVE


Now for a real punch of color we have Lilibet Cranberry Mint. This is one beauty of a pattern, and this latest colorway is what we’ve been after since day one!

 

Don’t be restricted to muted fall colors for Thanksgiving. Here’s a great example of thinking outside the box and using what you love for your very own Thanksgiving table.

 

White mini pumpkins make a statement at each place setting, as do these stylish woven placemats. Unseen is a big basket of white hydrangeas and dried grasses at the center of the table, which brings this whole look together.





SIX


A fancier version of number four is seen at this table setting with the Umbria Olive collection. It’s all about accessories here to amp up the autumn vibes of this pretty pattern.

 

Elegant turkey place card holders from Arthur Court make a statement like no other… "It’s Thanksgiving!! Bring on the turkey, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie!"

 




SEVEN

 

Blue and white lovers of the world unite! We can make it beautiful for Thanksgiving! Do you recognize Umbria? This is Umbria Sapphire Blue, and with the addition of beautiful blue transferware plates, you can make it happen for Thanksgiving.

 

I’ve had these blue transferware turkey plates for years, but any blue and white plate would work for a table setting like this. Plain white china would also be lovely with Umbria Sapphire Blue.

 

All you need are a few seasonal accents like we’ve previously talked about. Wicker, raffia, brass, autumn leaves and pumpkins would all add autumn charm to a table like this.

 




EIGHT


Laura’s Garden is a unique pattern with soft salmon and green tones that are so inspiring for fall. Set an elegant Thanksgiving table with this pattern and accent with pretty matching flowers found at the supermarket!

 

Hints of pomegranate red make this pattern a lovely choice for the autumn holiday season. As you can see, the natural textures of the flatware and napkin rings soften the look of the table and adds so much character to this whole setting.

NINE


Turkey plates are one of my favorite collectables, and if you look closely, this plate has just a hint of green in the pattern. I paired it with two different mix-and-match green linens from Pacific & Rose.

 

We started with the Umbria Olive Table Runner and matched the Gayatri Green Napkins with it. I just love the freshness of this whole look!

 

You can take this approach too. Select your favorite dinnerware pattern for your Thanksgiving table and find a complimentary color you’d love to use for the backdrop aka tablecloth or table runner.

 

This approach makes table setting so much fun, and you end up this a very unique and beautiful Thanksgiving table.

“Fall colors on repeat!” Aren’t you just loving the soothing muted tones this season? 🍁🍂


My November table in the breakfast room features some of my favorites old and new… 


My goal was to create a tablescape that captures the essence of fall’s natural beauty!


Can you spot the Pinecone Napkin Rings and the Cheese Board? They’re from Arthur Court and the plates, charger and wicker vase are from new little items I just acquired from Antique Farmhouse.

 

 



Just sharing a few beautiful new things for Thanksgiving from Arthur Court like these fun turkey place card holders and a beautiful metal turkey bowl that would be great for a green salad or a yummy side dish.


A little spring or two of rosemary help infuse the room with a delectable holiday fragrance and also comes in handy when cooking the turkey.

 

I also sprinkled in a few of my new vintage treasures found this week at a secondhand store. All my friends know how much I've always loved Thanksgiving, so I'm really looking forward to this year when I can really accessorize my table with style!

 




This is a Thanksgiving table I put together using only second-hand items that I either thrifted or inherited. I made a table runner out of colorful collected autumn leaves from a liquidambar tree.

   




Another shot of this vintage inspired table. I just love the hand-tied fringe on this antique tablecloth!


One of my favorite things to collect are brass candlesticks of all shapes and sizes. You can never have too many, and they look great when grouped "en masse" as a lovely collection. 

   



To keep things neutral, I’m using these large white ceramic chargers as dishes. I find that they hold just the right amount of food for a large meal like Thanksgiving. 


Layered on top is a variety of brown transferware salad plates that I collect all year long. Some of my favorites have a lovely Tom turkey on them. 


I think it's fun to mix and match certain elements, and at this table, I do that with the salad plates, napkin rings and the vintage glassware.





Up until this year I’d never heard of Thanksgiving Poinsettias, but I’ve come to learn that it’s a thing, and I just love how they bring that indescribable autumn feeling to the table.


Tablecloth and napkins: August Table  

 





This Thanksgiving table was ultra-simplified. I first brought out these beautiful ivory Wedgwood plates. They’re a sentimental nod to our dear family, and we don’t need much more than that. 


For me it’s all about spending quality time with our loved ones, and not going so overboard with superfluous details.

thanksgiving planning



I found this adorable pillow at Home Goods this week and it's perfect on our backyard swing. Funny how just a little thing like this can bring a smile to my face, because I've got a perfect view of it from my desk during the day.  And now each time we go out back, we have a cute and cozy place to sit, swing and contemplate J

This pretty plaid throw is from Pottery Barn. I love how versatile these lightweight throws are. It’ll probably make its way back into the house and make an appearance at my Thanksgiving table!


And speaking of my Thanksgiving table, some of my favorite items have already made their way into the dining room as inspiration. Some will make the cut, and some won’t!! I'm starting to play with a few different ideas, and these turkey salad plates are always so festive, but I may go whole other direction...

One thing for sure, little accents are so important! Something like a stalk of wheat can finish off the look for each place setting, and I like the organic element it brings to the whole tablescape.


One of my favorite rustic elements for the table is the burlap charger plates. I used them last year for Thanksgiving and a couple of other holidays, and they always add great dimension and texture to the whole look. 

This year, I paired them with my favorite seashell embellished raffia place mats, and they really compliment each other nicely.


I have a couple of different options for glassware. Don't you love how these vintage amber glasses add so much vibrancy to the table?


A pretty border on the plates features acorns, so I thought a few real ones would be fun scattered on the table to repeat this decorative element.


Here’s my other option for glassware. I love the subtle amber color and the gold detail of this set, and the way the light just sparkles on them. These were also a score from Home Goods, and are made in Italy. (I also have them in amethyst). They're much more elegant and totally a different look than the other choice. Which ones do you think would work better for the table?


Glittery gold votives are the easiest way to add sparkle to the table. These are from Oriental Trading and you get a whole dozen for about $15. I've used these so much over the past year!


The little white pumpkins that I bought in early October will fit in perfectly with this whole rustic and glittery autumn look!


A few more of my favorite fall accessories were pulled for inspiration, like these adorable squirrel place card holders and a few pheasant feathers from last year's table. They might work nicely with the wheat and the little acorns.  


Another score was this small bolt of robin’s egg blue floral fabric found at my favorite thrift store. The colors are perfect for my Thanksgiving table and dining room. I’m not sure yet if I’ll create napkins, a runner or table cloth with this material.  


LMK what you think I should make with this fabric...   


Well that's my inspiration so far... 

We'll have to see how the final table turns out soon! 
Two weeks until Turkey Day...
