A Thanksgiving table with simplicity, a little sprinkle of ambiance and romantic charm and a little bit of whimsy. A Thanksgiving table doesn’t have to be traditional rich autumn colors to be beautiful. Today I am sharing a closer look at this table and a few tips for creating a Thanksgiving table centerpiece by shopping the kitchen.
Thanksgiving Table Centerpiece
I have shared this sweet turkey a few times already this season- and I am still in love with him. He brings a bit of whimsy to the table- and elegance with his bronze gold details.
What I love: I love his sweet little face and the details. His big on personality and big size. He definitely brings a smile to my face seeing him on the table.
Where to place a large table centerpiece
I suppose calling a centerpiece a centerpiece makes it seem like that should only be in the ‘center’ of the table. But a favorite way to incorporate a larger centerpiece is to place it off to the side- at the end of the table or to the corner of a square or side of a round table for example. Then you can add lower elements to the ‘center’ as well.
Table Centerpiece Details
I shopped the kitchen for the rest of the details in the centerpiece. I raided the fruit bowl and grabbed some dried oranges, limes and apples that I have on hand since I love to use them all the time. This is mainly grapes with a few plums on repeat because I love the rich color they bring to our Heirloom Rose tablecloth and how they mingle with the bronze turkey. I also grabbed a few dried ferns that were in the yard and tucked them in as well.
Linen Details
If you clicked on over yesterday- you saw that we have finally gotten some of the boxes of our new linens in stock! (it only took almost 8 months folks) And this beautiful Heirloom Rose French Linen Tablecloth is a favorite of mine already. You can Shop the Collection Here.
What I love: The beautiful faded rose color and long loose ruffle adds the perfect romantic touch to the table.
Thanksgiving Table Details
Since this was a simple table for two- I didn’t add too many place setting details for this styling. Just stacked blush plates, pewter flatware and favorite amber glasses.
The Outdoor Setting
I know- depending on where you live- you may not be able to enjoy an outdoor Thanksgiving celebration. We have had a huge amount of rain here the past couple of weeks- and it actually started raining not long after I load up my camera and equipment and put all of these things into the barn. But this weekend? It is supposed to be back up into the 70’s and so- perfect outdoor afternoon dining weather. This winding path is behind the house on the way to the barn. Mostly used by critters as they meander down the path from the top of the property- it is a little bit of a rolling area and a favorite spot to set up high under a wee apple tree.
