The Thanksgiving table is on display all day, so it's worth styling with intention. This year I went with forest green and gold over an ivory linen base, with a low centerpiece so everyone can still talk across the table. The plates, flatware and gob...
The base of the whole table. An ivory linen tablecloth makes the forest green and gold feel rich instead of loud.
D'Moksha Classic Linen Ivory Tablecloth
Drape this cheesecloth runner loosely down the center and let it puddle at both ends. It looks effortless and gives the centerpiece something to sit on.
Forest Green Cheesecloth Table Runner
My centerpiece pick, with leaves, pinecones, berries and a little bow. It sits low, so nobody has to lean around it to talk.
Fall Leaf Candle Holder Centerpiece
Green and gold plates in dinner and salad sizes. They look like real china on the table, and they go straight in the trash after dinner.
Green and Gold Disposable Plates
Gold plastic flatware with a baroque-style handle. Nobody will guess it's disposable until they see you skip the dishes.
Gold Plastic Silverware Set
Embossed olive goblets for wine, cider or water. They add height and that vintage feel to every place setting.
Wiwiqing Vintage Olive Plastic Goblets
Olive cotton napkins folded right on each plate. Real cloth napkins are the easiest way to make a table feel finished.
Olive Green Cloth Dinner Napkins
Gold napkin rings with little green leaves. Small detail, big payoff, and they tie the whole color story together.
KPOSIYA Green Leaf Napkin Rings
Gold candlesticks in staggered heights. Cluster them around the centerpiece so the table glows from the middle.
Gold Metal Taper Candle Holders
Flameless ivory tapers for candlelight without the fire risk, especially with leaves and cheesecloth on the table. Set them out the night before.
Flameless Ivory LED Taper Candles
For the after-dinner hang. Drape a throw over a chair or the sofa nearby and the forest green carries from the table into the rest of the room.
Parachute Organic Two Tone Rib Knit Throw
Fresh guest towels in the powder room are a small hostess touch people notice. These pick up the same deep green as the table.
Parachute Waffle Towels in Evergreen
If you'd rather skip disposables, this is a real gold flatware set. It's an upgrade you'll pull out for every holiday after this one.
Aisoso Gold Flatware Set
Tuck faux eucalyptus garland along the runner for extra greenery. It fills the gaps between candlesticks and looks lush without fresh flowers.
Faux Eucalyptus Garland
A few green velvet pumpkins scattered down the table add texture and keep the palette right on theme.
