THANKSGIVING ESSENTIALS

For me, Thanksgiving has always been the most family-oriented holiday.  The mean, oh gosh, Thanksgiving meals are always ones for the books!  Don't get me wrong, Christmas is fantastic, but Thanksgiving is warm and cozy and full of family.  Thinking over a few of my favorite Thanksgiving things...

Lights, Branches and Leaves



All the warm colors of fall that we've all grown to love can be found in nature and the right kind of lighting. Branches and branch-inspired table settings are some of my favorites because they're so simple and genuine.  Pair that with some elegant and interesting candle holders and you've got ambiance to spare at your Thanksgiving table.

The Perfect Place Setting



Detailed dishware and personalized placecards add so much care and interest to a fall or Thanksgiving table setting.  Fighting over who gets which dish with my brothers is always a favorite Thanksgiving pass time!  Look for beautiful patterns and imagery that speak to you, and if you're someone who's a little color-shy, dishes are a great way to bring just enough color to your tablescape.

Just the Right Amount of Color



Beautiful colors are what define fall style.  Go tradition with a warm color palette of browns, oranges, golds and reds, or mix it up with a great accent color in a small way, like the fantastic blue glasses on the left. 
Just a few small yet super effective ways to create a beautiful personalized tablescape for your upcoming Thanksgiving feast.  If you're looking for some more inspiring images, head over to our decorating tips at The Inglenook Decor!
