Thanksgiving ideas

November 15, 2011

Hard to believe Thanksgiving is almost here! Are you ready?
Here’s a basic check list of items that you might need to make your table simply fabulous:

Flowers, flowers, flowers! It doesn’t have to be a lot, but you should have a little something that accents the season and adds to the table conversation. Of course if you have a larger table, don’t be shy about using flowers to make a grand statement!

Linens: Be sure to dress your table with something special. You don’t need to have a lot of patterns or colors, but keep it simple; maybe monochromatic. Try a runner on top of a solid colored tablecloth. You might even do yet another colored napkin for a “pop” accent.

Candles: Tapers? Pillars? Votives? We have it all. Whatever you do, be sure to keep it functional first, decorative second. Don’t use pillar candles that block your sight line across the table. Be sure to protect your table with bobeches underneath your taper candles. Check out our new line of taper candles in every color under the sun!

Chargers: Try dressing up your plates by accenting them with a charger. We have square ones, round ones, gold, silvers, rattan, etc.
