I have been inspired by this little chubby guy recently. From placing him on the mantel to take center stage in the cottage- to placing him on the table to create a charming centerpiece. Todays post for Friday Favorites is all about how to create a Thanksgiving table centerpiece with a beautiful bronze turkey and potpourri. And sharing a coupon below as well!
Bronze Turkey Centerpiece
Because this guy is such a charmer and such a star of the show- I decided to bring him up to the barn and play just a bit.
Though he is a tall little fellow to be placed right under the chandelier- so I decided to place him at the end of the table with the potpourri & candles running down the center.
Tip: Try an off to the side or end of the table centerpiece on long tables or ones that are also table area challenged.
Something you might remember if you have my book Inspired Gatherings is that when I used an overly large floral arrangement on the table- I will sometimes set it to one corner of the table- rather than directly in the center. This allows for the table to be open visually as well.
The Details
They say it is all in the details- and these details are talking to me. I chose a mix & match place setting look with pewter flatware and vintage sterling flatware tied with a ribbon.
Tip: Don’t worry about having a full set of matching flatware for your table. Mixing and mingling different sets that have a similar look is a favorite thing and adds interest and a uniqueness to each place setting.
I also kept the same gilded glasses and etched glasses from the table setting that I shared previously HERE These amber coupes are glasses that I have had for several years- and they are on repeat quite often. The dainty etched taller coupes are new additions and are absolutely beautiful in person.
