With Thanksgiving drawing near, I’ve been thinking about gathering around the table and enjoying my family and all the homemade food and dessert that Thanksgiving brings. This year, we’re still not sure who is hosting, but I would be happy to have everyone over here:) I started playing around with tablescapes this weekend and liked this simple one. I typically go for warmer colors for Thanksgiving, so this is a nice departure for me. I think I’d like to add some tall glass candlestick holders (or votives) and white candles, but I’m still looking for those. I used our wedding china (Ralph Lauren), pale blue placemats from Target (have you seen their table linens lately?!) and pumpkins I painted with metallic gold spray paint.
I looove the holidays! I’m just giddy over here! You too??

The gold pumpkins are gorgeous!
Oh I love the holidays too! And this table setting is gorgeous!!! The pumpkins are too cute!
Luvs!
Looks great!!! Super cute pumpkins
Love the table setting and the china. We go to my sisters almost every year for Thanksgiving, which is fine by me, her cooking tastes just like mine and I don't have to do all the work. But I do bring all the table decorations and set it up all pretty before we sit down to eat. She hates the decorating part but loves the cooking so it is a win win situation.
Love those Gold pumpkins! I am going to be fooling with our table settings this week too with some fun stuff I picked up over the weekend.
Your table scape is gorgeous! Those gold pumpkins are such a great idea. It all looks perfect! And I think the candlesticks would be a great addition. (P.S. Your china is beautiful.)
Beautiful tablescape!!
gorgeous china! everything looks great!!!
Megan, I love the gold pumpkins with your china, very,very pretty!
simply beautiful! toying with blue for thanksgiving myself too…maybe blue with orange…
ooooh! I likey. I wonder how many of us will have matching tables. I love the pumpkins. Thanks for the inspiration, girl! Beautiful.
The blue looks good!! Even for Fall. Great job on mixing it in!
It looks beautiful! I love the gilded pumpkins with your china, and the blue placemats. You can find some fairly inexpensive glass votives of varying heights/shapes at Crate and Barrel. We are hosting here, keeping the centerpiece simple this year.
The golden pumpkins look simply divine with your china!! Wow…

I LOVE it! I'm thinking about hosting T-day at my house this year but I am completely overwhelmed! I love your ideas, and I love love love the colors together!
This tablescape is really calm-cool-collected. I certainly love the holidays as well. Hopefully I can entertain this year as well.

That table is beautiful! I love the mix of gold, blue and silver! Your wedding china looks so similar to ours but ours is Vera Wang! Oh and great placemats, I never look at that at Target but will have to now!
I'm your newest followers! Love your blog! You have some fantastic ideas on here : ) Love your china!!
It's lovely, Megan! I love the departure from "traditional" Thanksgiving colors…it's really really pretty.
I have a post set for tomorrow that has my inspiration table with these gorgeous gold pumpkins… only problem is I can not find a single pumpkin in houston… the halloween pumpkins got carved and I can't find new ones.
Beautiful table setting! Nice and simple, just perfect!

Please visit me and, if so inspired, sign up to follow my blog, as well. Now I'm off to look around and be further inspired!
I love the metallic on the pumpkins, and it'll look so good once you have the candlelight reflecting off of it!
i love your table setting — the combination is fabulous!

Love the table setting. I especially like the 'golds' and 'silvers' mixed with some blue… I was thinking about that color palette for Christmas also 🙂
That is gold spray paint? It looks so shiny! Love that.
