Thanksgiving is a holiday that celebrates gratitude and gatherings around a table. So of course you want a beautiful Thanksgiving table for your family and friends to enjoy! Our event planning team chose casual elegance for the theme of our Thanksgiving table. 

Rather than a turkey as the centerpiece, we opted for white and green pumpkins accented with seeded eucalyptus and white hydrangea. If you’re around the Nashville area, there are so many great places for you to pick up some pumpkins for this. We recommend shopping local and grabbing some pumpkins from the Nashville Farmers Market or the 12South Farmers Market! 

This muted tablescape of washed white and greens paired with stoneware china and vintage silverware creates the perfect relaxed and effortless look we were going for. Serve the main meal buffet-style on a nearby sideboard or kitchen island. Once guests are done feasting, desserts are brought to them – mini fruit and pumpkin pies, caramel apples with and without bacon, pumpkin hush puppies with cinnamon icing and S’mores popcorn balls (consider these as a favor to send home with your guests).

Still planning your menu? If you’re looking for some side dish ideas, check out our favorite fall side dishes blog! Or even kick the celebrations up a notch with some festive cocktails. Here are some of our favorite fall signature cocktails!

Just remember: be creative, use what you have, and make it you! The white wash farm table from Southern Events could be mimicked with a white table cloth, and we love mixing chairs for seating, so don’t be afraid to have fun with the seating options you already have at home. We hope this inspires your Thanksgiving table!
