Thanksgiving in Blue: A Soft, Storybook Setting

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I’m excited to share the tablescape I created for this year’s family gathering. Hosting my in-laws is always a joy, and I aimed to set a beautiful table that reflects the warmth of the season. Let’s dive into the details of this stunning setup!

A Touch of Elegance with Dusty Blue and Gold

This year, I chose a color palette of dusty blue velvet paired with gold accents. The rich texture of the velvet added a touch of luxury, while the gold elements brought a festive sparkle. The center of the table featured an array of velvet pumpkins that I absolutely adore, surrounded by small orange tea candles that created a warm glow.

Layered Napkins for a Chic Touch

For the place settings, I opted for a layered napkin look. Each setting included a blue napkin tucked inside a crisp white one, elegantly finished with a gold leaf napkin ring. This simple detail not only added sophistication but also tied in beautifully with the gold accents throughout the tablescape.

Chargers and Placemat Finds

I used white chargers with gold trim to add a refined touch to each place setting. The placemats were a delightful Amazon find that perfectly complemented the overall theme. I’ll be sure to include a link at the end of this post for those interested in recreating this look at home!

A Fun Kids' Table

Since family gatherings often include little ones, I created a special kids’ table that was both fun and functional! I cut a tablecloth from a roll of paper that resembles a brown paper bag, perfect for coloring. I drew napkin and table settings right on the tablecloth and even included their names to make it personal.

To keep the kids entertained, I prepared a turkey craft station where they could unleash their creativity. It was a hit!
