Build a Thanksgiving Table

As the leaves change colours and the air gets colder, Thanksgiving invites us to gather and celebrate in the company of loved ones. Your table is the main attraction for that moment, so let it feel inviting, intentional, and effortless. Using seasonal pieces from our brands, here’s how to make a beautiful and functional table setting for a Thanksgiving feast.

1. Table Linen & Placemats

Start with a beautiful base. A perfectly-chosen table linen, table runner or placemats make everything come together beautifully bringing cohesion and elegance.

Table Runner

If you're not convinced on the look of a full table linen or want to accent your table linen, a table runner is perfect to enhance the look of your table. Adding colour, texture and a little flare to the look of any table setting.

Nappes

For a full covered and protected elegant table, a tablecloth is the ideal missing piece of the puzzle for you. If you feel like you're missing something to your table setting, chances are the only thing you need is added texture and colour and a tablecloth is the perfect way to go.

Sets de Table

Once again, if the look of a full table linen isn't completely your vibe, a placemat is the ideal way to add texture, style and a practical surface to not ruin your table from hot plates, drinks water rings and more.

2. Serving Stands

Thanksgiving includes many dishes like appetizers, sides, desserts. Create striking visual interest by incorporating elevated serving pieces. These stands are perfect for stacking finger foods, cheeses, appetizers and so much more!

As a little tip, we suggest to place it off to one side so it doesn’t obstruct everyone's view from across the table, creating a balanced table for flowing conversations.

Simplistic Centerpiece

Keeping it to a minimally intrusive centerpiece bowl with a few seasonal decorations would allow you to perfectly assemble your table however you like, adding more texture and colours to your table linens while still having your centerpiece be the center of attention, but more focus on the rest of the table and decorations inside.

Strikingly Unique Centerpiece

Now although keeping it simple makes your table elegant, that doesn't mean you can't make your centerpiece the star of the show. Brining a more unique centerpiece such as Michael Aram pieces makes your table setting that much more strikingly beautiful. Perfect to add seasonal decoration poieces inside, it will be a conversation starter for sure around the table.

4. Warmth & Ambience: Candles & Accessories

Candles add glow, warmth, and a soft intimacy to any dinner atmosphere. Great for keeping the bright white lights off and have meaningful conversations.

Tips for candle styling:

  • Play with various heights such as using tall candlesticks and low votives to avoid a flat look.
  • Choose unscented or lightly scented candles so as not to compete with the delicious aromas of your meal.
  • Place them sparingly along your table to make everything look coherent and not too jumbled.

5. Finishing Touches

Small details make the biggest difference. By incorporating some of our essentials, you can transform a pretty table into a curated experience for you and loved ones.

Vide-poches

Use a tray such as a decorative wooden or ceramic tray to put condiments, salt & pepper or butter. It helps give an organized, purposeful feel and adds texture and a practical element to your table.
