Hanukkah is fast approaching and now is a great time to start planning for how to make your celebration special this year. In late November through early December (Nov 28-Dec 6, 2021), people will gather to light the menorah, eat food and play games. Get inspired for your Hanukkah celebration with these modern tablescapes and decor ideas to celebrate the Festival of Lights, and be sure to check out our curated Holiday Boxes to make setting the table a breeze.

Bold & Bright

For this Hanukkah celebration look, we opted for a classic color palette that’s bold and bright. Our Navy Blue Velvet Linens are the true star of the show, although our unique Cybil Glassware comes in at a close second. These bold touches are what make this tablescape so memorable. Meanwhile, a Glass Charger with Gold Rim, White Round China, and Glass Mosaic China are a timeless combo. The Austin Flatware complements the charger beautifully, without making the table metallic heavy. A similar color palette, check out our Silver Soiree Holiday Box.

Luxe Minimalistic

A truly modern look, this minimalistic tablescape features a mix of warm and cool tones with a touch of traditional holiday colors. We started with a Rouge Round Laquer Charger and stunning Carrera Marble Dinner Plates. Metallic elements, such as the charger and flatware, keeps the look elegant. As not to distract from your place settings, keep the centerpiece simple. In this case, we featured bright linens – at which point we incorporated a pop of blue.

Bright & Fun

For a more creative and playful look, consider mixing patterned plates. Our gold accent china pairs well together, for chic mismatched place settings. In order, you can see our Blair Geometric China, Kate Polka Dot China, and Vera Floral China. Light blue poly linens were used to brighten the table! For an equally luxe look, consider our Brunch in Blue Holiday Box.

Simply Sophisticated

If you prefer a more luxe and sophisticated tablescape, opt for deep and rich colors. To start, feature a navy or royal blue table linen. For place settings, a pure white will contrast beautifully. Our sleek Austin Flatware and Bristol Glassware keeps the look simple but luxe. Notice that the most ornate element of this table are the gold Chiavari chairs and a statement centerpiece.

Take for example our Brushed Copper Flatware, which pairs especially well with Onyx & Stone. For a lighter look, opt for Alabaster. For glassware, our Cybil or Pure Glassware are classic for your Thanksgiving dinner.  The sleek Upton Glassware matches perfectly for pre-dinner drinks.

Whimsical Thanksgiving Look

If you want a Thanksgiving tablescape that truly stands out and is memorable, aim for a look that is more whimsical. While we recommend more classic china, such as our Gold Accent China, have fun with the surrounding elements like your centerpieces or napkin holders or ties. Take our Como Flatware, which features a super-unique yet chic handle. For additional color, check out our gorgeous Colored Glassware and various Velvet Napkins. Our favorite colors for Thanksgiving? Driftwood & Spice of course!

Elegant Thanksgiving Table

The most elegant tablescapes are luxe yet often minimalistic. To start, we recommend checking out our stunning Hamlet China, which features intricate gold designs. When paired with a solid or Gold Rimmed Charger you have a perfectly complementary place setting. For drinks, both water & wine, it has to be our Audrey Glassware. Top it all of with our Heritage Napkins and a simple Chiffon Runner for a bright, airy and clean look.
