| Okay, it’s
almost Thanksgiving and you’re celebrating the holiday with
your family and friends. In the rush of things, maybe you’re
feeling a bit anxious about how to set your table this year.
Or maybe you simply want your table to have a signature look
but aren’t quite sure how to decorate it. Here are a couple
of solutions to make your holiday table not only personalized
but filled with bountiful design. |

MIX & MATCH
Don’t bother with identical
table wares this year. Instead mix it up and go eclectic! Mix
and match plates, silverware, goblets, etc for an unexpected
look. To keep the table decor from looking too messy, stick with
specific styles or colors. For example, mix and match plates
in white and gold then blend in other fall colors like orange,
green, and brown, for your glassware, table runners, salad plates,
serving dishes etc Then pull the look together with a cloth napkin
that includes all the colors on your table then add a white or
gold napkin ring to finish the look.
GO TRADITIONAL
Dress up your table with traditional
Thanksgiving items by putting colorful gourds or ears of mini
Indian corn in rich colors on top of each plate or by each glass.
Children of all ages love the bright colors and texture of natural
gourds plus it’s a simple yet thoughtful accessory to your
table. Sprinkle in some fall leaves, (real or faux) for an added
designer touch.
