Bring loved ones together this Thanksgiving with timeless recipes and traditions. The table linens you select for each holiday are integrated into the essence of your celebrations and gatherings and core to your special life moments.
Tips for Setting A Festive Table
- Look for the unexpected colors in your linen patterns for inspiration when selecting your napkins and coordinating table linen pieces. Need inspiration? Look to nature for inspiration. The colors of flowers, leaves, and the sky can provide beautiful color combinations.
- Combine different textures to create visual interest. For example, use a smooth tablecloth with a woven placemat, or pair a rustic wooden charger with a sleek ceramic plate.
- Your garden provides an abundance of branches, leaves, and dried flowers. Use natural elements like moss, pinecones, and acorns as table scatter. Incorporate earthy colors like browns, greens, and golds into your table linens and centerpieces. Arrange small potted trees or branches in vases for a touch of greenery.
- We eat with our eyes - Select tableware patterns based on the colors of your food to complement the presentation. Choose colors that complement your food. For example, a vibrant green tablecloth can enhance the natural colors of a spring salad, while a deep blue tablecloth can make a rich, red wine pop.
- Add personal touches to your tablescape, such as handwritten place cards or a family heirloom centerpiece. These details can make your guests feel special and create a more memorable dining experience.
- Create a sense of depth and dimension by using different heights for your centerpieces and serving dishes. For example, use tall candlesticks, low flower arrangements, and tiered serving platters.
