Thanksgiving Dinner Tablescape Design & Styling

The design and styling had classic fall colors such as shades of oranges, browns, and earthy greens. As well, we added pops of pink and blue to give the setting a fresh, modern feel. Gold accents were sprinkled throughout to add a touch of charm throughout. The decor of our Thanksgiving dinner was undoubtedly the beautifully designed tablescape! The table was decorated with candles of different sizes which we lit up as soon as the sun set. The Floral arrangements played a significant role in enhancing the look. We chose a mix of florals in varying fall shades, including some pops of pink and blue to keep things different. The stationery was one of my favorite elements! The pop of blue in the place cards and menus was stunning.

To tie everything together, we asked our guests to dress according to the color scheme. This not only made for stunning photographs but also added to the cohesive, stylish vibe of the Thanksgiving dinner!
