Thanksgiving dinner inspiration

22 November 2011

I am hosting Thanksgiving dinner again this year. It will be very small by my family’s standards (just five of us). I don’t really have the extra cash on hand to buy new pieces for the table, so I’m trying to brainstorm with what I already have, and come up with something that will coordinate well with my blue willow ware dishes. Here are a few ideas I’ve collected:


acorn candle votives from Pottery Barn


pretty pink and gold table design by Tara Guerard from Southern Living


pinecone door decor via Something Green


napkin menu wrap via Project Wedding


more nut candles from Good Housekeeping


velvet silverware wrap via Style Me Pretty (photo by Brooke Boling)

Are any of y’all hosting Thanksgiving dinner?

P.S. Last year’s Thanksgiving dinner

    Yes! First timer here. Love all of your inspiration!

    I love that you can add so much to the table with little details … those peach candles and the velvet silverware wrap are great additions for Thursday!
