HD 2020 Fall Tablescape Tips:
1) It's 2020 -- so bring your Thanksgiving dinner outside, complete with festive lighting, fire pits and fur blankets! The best way to set the scene? A gorgeous fall tablescape, featuring festive seasonal centerpieces and traditional fall place settings. Dining outside doesn’t mean you have to forego the fun and flair of indoor dining.

2) I love anything Fall (especially cooler temperatures!) Pumpkins are my favorite and so fun to use in your fall table settings – and they’re such an easy and inexpensive way to add that pop of color to your holiday table. Now you’re ready to enjoy this wonderful season with your family and friends!

3) With touches of copper and greyish blues, “rustic modern” is my favorite for fall tables. Pair these delicious fall colors with trending accessories and fresh flowers for a tablescape that’s sure to receives lots of applause. Since the holidays are on a smaller scale this year, there’s no need to hold back on your table styling – why not go all out and really make your table shine?!

4) My favorite fall table setting? It always starts with a “table-full” of memories! Mixing treasured family china, silver and crystal with trending linens and styling touches brings a warm and happy glow to every Thanksgiving table. I never get tired of blue and white china – and classic Blue Danube, Blue Willow or cobalt blue Lomonosov often have huge starring roles!

5) Family-style – that’s definitely my favorite way to serve Thanksgiving dinner as our family gathers around the formal dining table. I keep my décor simple with varied shades of neutrals accented by white pumpkins. It’s modern, with a strong hint of traditional, and includes lots of layering of beautiful elements.

6) Do you talk green? Me too! I love incorporating fresh, natural greenery in my Thanksgiving holiday table settings. Eucalyptus stems, magnolia branches or sprigs of fresh rosemary all make great choices for the table. My next go-to is classic white china styled with rattan elements and woven textured linens.
