Thanksgiving Tablescaping
Monday, November 15, 2010
I am starting to "tablescape" for Thanksgiving. I will have ten people at my house and I am so excited to finally have my "grown up" party.
I picked up ten of these beauties and will use them with ivory napkins and off-white dinner place settings. I plan to make some really neat place mats that I saw in Real Simple this month. Should be a fun project that I will share later!
I found this etsy shop where she so wonderfully custom made me 5 gold tree place cards and...
5 gold leaf place cards. They came out beautifully. I couldn't have asked for anything more perfect, or easy!
I also started my centerpieces. These are very non-traditional. But, I plated these sweet red and orange flowers. They look like the picture below when blooming nicely. I plan to tie a pretty ribbon on the pots, maybe even a fun stencil and have each guest (or pair) take one home!
I feel like I am off to a good start but I still need to work on some type of place mat and/or table runner. I am open to any fun ideas from you crafty ladies!

An adult party will be so fun! Adam and I had Christmas day dinner at our house our first Christmas. I love the stories and memories that are told around a dinner table. There is just something magical about a table set with all the trimmings and some candle light. Good luck on all the plans Juliannne!
How exciting! I am jealous! We are still going to parents and grandparents houses for thanksgiving. :) Your blog is lovely, dear! I'm definitely following!
Oh so pretty! I love those cards and the gold leafing is lovely. I bet it's going to be gorgeous and your planning will definitely be appreciated by all your attendees. I am a huge fan of dressing up the rustic, so I love burlap as a runner (the more frayed the edges the better) and it's not expensive. PLUS if anyone spills on it you can throw it away and not fret over dry cleaning!
I added myself to follow your blog. You are more than welcome to visit mine and become a follower if you want to.
God Bless You :-)
