Create Ambiance

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.”

Make It Glamorous

“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.

Keep It Simple

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

Go Vintage

"For a great conversation starter try a vintage tablecloth. Don’t worry if it doesn’t fit — layer it and put it on an angle, like this gorgeous vintage Suzani cloth, which everyone at your table will want to know the story about it,” she says.

Mix It Up

"Find some vintage table accessories to mix with a modern table and chairs, like these 1950s Italian fruit glass, tulip vase and brass candlesticks. Spread it all out and be sure to have various heights to your found objects," she explains.

Make It Match

Cecilia explains to have a cohesive look, you need to make it match. "Have fun matching your table arrangements to your furniture, like these green apples and green flowers to the green upholstered chairs."
