A Thanksgiving Tablescape in nontraditional colors. I know I shared this table earlier this Fall, but I made a few tweaks and a cake! Next week I’m sharing my traditional Thanksgiving table as part of a Thanksgiving table blog hop! It’s fun to compare and contrast the two looks.
The cake I made was this pumpkin bundt cake (recipe here).
If you remember, the table from a few weeks ago had white pumpkin cocottes on top of each place setting. I removed those, added some candles and a cake.
Now you can see what green plates were hiding below – these beautiful majolica plates!
Yes, we eat off of our antique and vintage china, as pictured below. I recommend not using any knives on it so they won’t scratch the dishes!
I love dining by candlelight, especially in the Fall and Winter. I pulled out my new candlesticks for this table!
Now it took me a while to find a candle that actually fit these candlesticks. These candlesticks are made in France, so of course the candles don’t come in standard US sizes. I went to lots of different stores trying to find candles that would fit. I ended up having to cut a larger candlestick to size in order to fit.
To set your Thanksgiving tablescape, you can try some new things: maybe use non traditional colors. Use your antique or vintage china. Dine by candlelight.
Beautiful!!
Lovely! We have the same taste when it comes to fall tablescapes! The cake looks yummy too!
Your Fall table is decorated so lovely. So warm and inviting. Beautiful color choices and that cake.. ohh , I can only imagine how good it tastes.
