Simple Thanksgiving Decor

November 7, 2018

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I am excited to celebrate the holiday in a way I have never been before. You see, this Thanksgiving marks the first ever that I will be hosting, albeit just for me and my husband. To me, Thanksgiving, beyond being about getting together with family, is about the practice of gratitude. It is about acknowledging our blessings and appreciating all the good in our lives and there is nobody else I would rather celebrate with than my adventurous, supportive husband.

My menu is set, preparations are already in full swing, and all I have left to do is decorate our home and table for the occasion. To inspire both myself as well as all of you, I have gathered some beautiful examples of simple Thanksgiving decor designed to infuse a bit of sleek elegance into your holiday.

Ideas for a Unique Thanksgiving Tablescape

November 19, 2015

It is no secret that I am not one to embrace traditional holiday decor. Rather than go with customary pumpkins, turkeys or snowmen, I prefer to mix conventional touches in with surprising elements. With that in mind, I shared inspiration for elegant and natural Thanksgiving decor two weeks ago. Now with Thanksgiving Day just one short week away, it’s time to turn our attention to creating the perfect unique Thanksgiving tablescape. While I am not hosting Thanksgiving or a Friendsgiving celebration this year due to our jam packed travel and work schedules, I am still dreaming up all kinds of ways to adorn my fantasy table.

You’ll note that there is a common theme of richly colored florals and fruits accented by candles carried throughout these photos. That particular combination has a way of dressing up even the most casual of tables. With the addition of metallic touches and some elegant glassware and flatware, you can easily transform your every day dinner table into a swoon-worthy Thanksgiving tablescape.

My favorite table of the bunch. The rich fall florals and harvest themed fruit are spiced up by stunning gray candlesticks at this outdoor feast found on Happy Wedd.

Elegant Thanksgiving Decor

November 5, 2015

I have admittedly not been one to decorate too extensively for holiday seasons of the past. This year however, thanks to post-wedding nesting perhaps, I am eager to begin new traditions that we can carry through our marriage and eventually share with our future child. Making each holiday feel special and like “us” is suddenly a high priority for me. My Pinterest addiction has taken on a new, focused purpose and I can’t get enough of looking at beautiful inspiration for the upcoming holidays!

Thanksgiving is feeling particularly special to me this year because there is SO MUCH in my life that I am thankful for. This past year has been a beautiful blur of change and happiness, the end result of which is that I am living the life of my dreams. I want to take the entire month of November to really relish in my reality and to be as grateful as possible for the beauty around me.

Though we are spending Thanksgiving and Christmas in Northern California with my husband’s family (it’s so fun to be able to call him my husband!) I still want to add festive touches to our Los Angeles home to get us in the holiday spirit prior to our departure. I was able to incorporate some dark and glamorous elements into our home for Halloween and am drawing all kinds of inspiration from these examples of light, natural and elegant Thanksgiving decor. The best part about each of these ideas is that they are relatively attainable, making them easy additions to incorporate into any home.
