Modern Thanksgiving Look

If you love a trendy modern tablescape, you have to start with our understated Earthen China. These unique dishes are beautiful in and of itself, but especially when paired with contrasting metallic accents. 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.
