Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, and setting a beautiful table in advance is a family tradition. For every holiday, my grandmother always set a formal table with fine china, sterling silver, crystal glassware, beautiful flowers, and crisp linens. The last few years have been a bit more casual with dishwasher-friendly Woodland Spode. How do you like to set your Thanksgiving table? Below, I have gathered 35 traditional Thanksgiving tablescapes for inspiration. Enjoy!

November 21, 2018 at 8:45 amWow, that was an eyefull! It’s wonderful to see epergnes put to good use. I’ve never seen a table with 3 of them, and it looks great. So many choices, and all of them beautiful. Those Caspari placemats are so pretty. I used to love visiting their showroom. Their range of offerings is tip-top. And I love the pomegranates. Such a pretty fruit. So many ideas here! Thank you, and Happy Thanksgiving!

November 21, 2018 at 4:55 pmWhat a great compilation of styles….some new with some old! Would like to be a guest at any of those dinners. Am always partial to blue and white paired with “persimmon” colors. Antique silver epergnes are an all time favorite. Cut crystal to drool over….oh my!
Thank you for this post. Happy Thanksgiving!
