Last Years Thanksgiving Table

The first decision I make in planning my table is, what colors will I use. Last year's table consisted of linen, cream and green.

I then look at my linens, dishes, glasses and flatware to see what will work in my overall color scheme.

Next, I decide on a centerpiece. I love to use fresh produce from my grocery store. Once I decide what I want to use I order it from my produce man.
Last year, I decided to use all cream and green produce. Here is what I started with………

Here is how I put it all together…………….

The cut glass hurricane was perfect with its silver trim and the glass had wheat cut into the glass which I repeated that element by using it in my arrangement and it also appears around the rim of my plates.

I used white linen and natural linen napkins. You will notice the white are tucked under the plate and draping. The linen napkins are folded almost in a cornucopia shape.   The sweet green glasses were a purchase from the Dollar store. They have fruit and grapes in a relief pattern.

I love using mirrors to reflect the candle light. I have two pieces of mirror each three feet long. This arrangement is almost six feet long on an eight foot table. I tend to like elaborate, over the top, or simple centerpieces. I chose elaborate for last years centerpiece.

I hope you have all enjoyed my post on Thanksgiving table settings, some of my own and some of images that I thought you all would enjoy seeing.

Next in line will be post on Christmas decorating and ideas. This is one of my favorite subjects. I am really looking forward to sharing ideas with you all.

I Found It!

I found it! Yes! I finally found the perfect inspiration for my own personal Thanksgiving Table.

I love, love this. As soon as I saw it I knew this was my inspiration!! I probably won’t do the exact same thing, but I have been wanting to use the standing stack of wheat for a long time.

 I love the colors and the feel that this table gives me. Understated elegance.

This idea will work so well in my dining room. I know most of you have seen my dining room on my blog before, but for those of you who have not seen it, here is a glimpse of my dining room……..

Now you can see why the soft green and wheat will look amazing in my dining room.

My friend Eddie Ross made a good suggestion when he said to not force a color in your dining room, but to work with the colors that are existing. I am lucky since mine is green. Almost all colors will work in here except of course orange!(that is because I do not like orange.)

I have my inspiration and I have done several other post with different color options to hopefully inspire you all.

Here are a few more pictures of soft green table settings………

 

So there you have it!! Is a soft green color pallet something you would think of using for your Thanksgiving table setting?
