Styling A Romantic And Elegant Thanksgiving Table

It all starts with flowers for me when I plan a table setting and it’s one of my favorite ways to get creative in my home with design that can be temporary and not expensive. I’m sharing tips in this post on how I started this look.

Styling A Romantic And Elegant Thanksgiving Table

Creating a tablescape for any season can be something that you don’t just need to do for events. Why not enjoy the beauty benefits for a couple of weeks at a time, especially if you don’t eat at that table often like in our home.

I’ll be keeping up for a few days throughout the weekend, simply to enjoy.

 

pink roses and lisianthus autumn
While out doing some errands I made a stop at my favorite local florist as I can always find more unusual flowers there. I look for what is one sale, and this week it was roses and in the prettiest blush pink.

I cleared off the sideboard buffet, that really is a vintage dresser from a friend:~). Knowing that I wanted to go with the roses, I decided to do a pink and blue theme…color comes first to me in styling a table.

These vintage planters don’t hold water, so I used a Mason jar in each and filled out the bouquets with last week’s stock and greenery cut from my garden.

 

blue cinderella pumpkin

Next step was a centerpiece and I plopped this pale blue cinderella pumpkin onto a cake plate. It’s low enough to see over the center of the table and I filled it in with some pinecones and acorns.

I covered the rustic table for this setting with a vintage French lace tablecloth for the pale look that I had in mind. The underplates are my every day white plates from Pottery Barn and the blue and white plates are French antique ironstone that I love and use as often as possible.

The white baby boos are plastic and I painted them with chalk style paint. You can see more about that HERE if you’d like more fall inspiration.

Tip: I used some paper shredding from packing material on the top of the faux stem for texture.

I may have a slight obsession with monogrammed linens that is close to hoarding, even if they don’t match up with my initials.

I’m not a fan of overdone or contrived and try to create simple yet elegant settings. Hopefully that was achieved and it really took very little time to do.

  2. Absolutely gorgeous. I am such fan of blue and white. The pink makes it look spectacular. Wherever did you find a blue pumpkin and the little white painted ones?

  3. I’m new to your blog and I know this is an older post, but do you remember where you got the acorns in this table setting from?

    1. Hello Audra…welcome in! Unfortunately I don’t recall, but maybe a craft store?
