Designer-Approved Dining Room Tablescape Tips

Designers Cecilia Casagrande and Mimi Meacham weigh in on their hosting tips and tricks to help make entertaining easy and beautiful.

To start, Cecilia Casagrande suggests creating ambiance. “For a warm ambiance, illuminate your table with tall candleholders. Make them skinny and at different heights so you don’t block the view, like these artisan-handmade copper ones.”

“Don’t be afraid of making it glamorous. Thanksgiving is special, so why can’t you add a touch of glamour? Try multiple metallic vases and rich floral colors. Add gold and brass wherever you can,” she suggests.

For a more budget-friendly table setting, Cecilia suggests keeping it simple. "Dress your table with an oversized bowl of fall fruit."
