Cranberry Haven

Create a chic Thanksgiving tablescape with moody cranberry and cream tones. Burgundy candlesticks set a dramatic foundation, while fresh or faux cranberries lined along the center of the table can add organic texture. Cream plates and napkins tied with cranberry velvet ribbons provide an elegant contrast, complemented by dark red roses and eucalyptus. The result is an intimate, jewel-toned setting.

Fall Harvest Table

Picture a fall harvest tablescape anchored by a cream silk linen tablecloth, its subtle sheen catching the light from spiraled burgundy candles arranged down the center. Fall foliage in burnished copper and gold weaves between the candles, while cream pumpkins of varying sizes add elegant contrast.

Pink Feminine Charm

For the “girl’s, girls,” there’s nothing like a classic table lined with white roses or any white floral of choice, touched with pink bow trimmings. This is great for a Galentine’s, birthday, or simple girls’ gathering.

Lush Green Escape

Personally, I think different shades of green complemented by cream and silk are the perfect way to design a table for an intimate dinner party. Sage green candlesticks, surrounded by green florals and extra foliage, would create the most serene and gorgeous setting.
