Tablescape:

Mackenzie-Childs makes some of the most beautiful handmade dining pieces I’ve ever seen! I wanted to use their classic sweetbriar collection that can be used all year long and make it have a Thanksgiving twist to it. This year I went with a bright white and clean Thanksgiving Tablescape.

You can also check out last years peacock themed tablescape HERE and another rustic tablescape (plus an amazing apple pie sangria recipe) HERE.

If you really want to make a statement this Thanksgiving, try a charcuterie runner instead of a more traditional one. This one was made by the Nashville Cheese Gal and was INCREDIBLE. I’ll be working on a full post with how to execute the best charcuterie board ASAP!

A simple pumpkin on each plate makes things festive. If you prefer choosing the seating, you can use a gold sharpie to write names on the pumpkins.

The beautiful florals on the glasses paired with a huge bouquet of flowers picked from Natchez Glen. You can easily make your own using lots of eucalyptus to inexpensively fill a large vase.

Thanksgiving is all about gratitude and family, but setting the scene can make the day even more special! I hope everyone gets lots of quality time with their loved ones in this season!

FLORALS: Natchez Glen House
CHARCUTERIE: Nashville Cheese Gal

Huge thanks to Mackenzie-Childs for the beautiful table setting.

How fun is this Thanksgiving table? If you are local to Nashville, you can rent this entire set up and have a no fess (but fabulous!) tablescape through Please Be Seated rentals.

A simple update with the peacock feathers can really wow your guests. Using that as inspiration we incorporated navy goblets and candles into this Thanksgiving table decor and it is so stunning!

Holidays are really so special, and I love that Thanksgiving is a time to show your gratitude and love for the place in life you are in. Taking a little extra effort to make a holiday beautiful is so worth it.

Making memories with your family is what life is truly all about. Creating precious moments. You absolutely do not have to go over the top to create sweet moments, but a simple thing like setting a fabulous Thanksgiving table can truly set the tone for a special holiday.

Jewel tones are all the rage on the runways for fall and winter fashion, and we took that trend into the holiday decor.

Thanks to the following for helping make my Friendsgiving dreams come true! Nashville people… make sure to check them out! I can’t possibly talk them up enough!

| Please Be Seated Event Rentals | White Ink Calligraphy | Foxglove & Heather Florals | Copper Whisk Cakes | Chelsea Rochelle Photography |

Friendsgiving has officially become “a thing” and I couldn’t be happier about it! I’ve teamed up with the TOP local vendors in Nashville to make all my boho Friendsgiving dreams come true!

Also, this dress is surprisingly comfortable and makes for the prettiest holiday attire!

HOW TO THROW THE PERFECT FRIENDSGIVING

* Add a bar! This bar was rented from Please Be Seated (you can actually rent this entire set up for a really affordable price!). Throw a few champagne bottles (what is a party without champagne?) a cake, and a hot beverage dispenser with some copper mugs on there.

* Don’t skip cake! This beauty is from Copper Whisk Cakes. I promise you, she has the best cakes you could ever taste. There is a salted caramel flavor that is perfect for holiday festivities. We had this at Wilder’s birthday and a guest told us that he had often skipped cake at parties because he never knew it could taste like that. A cake just makes everything more festive!

* Set a simple, but beautiful tablescape. This table runner from White Ink Calligraphy makes the perfect base. Also, add some calligraphy on white pumpkins. You could even add the guests’ names on the pumpkins and let them take them home as a sweet gift.

Foxglove & Heather is an amazing floral company and always has the best suggestions when it comes to floral arrangements and tablescapes. This is simple silver leaf eucalyptus and pampas grass. They both last a long time, and can be used after the event in your fall decor as well.

* Serve hot chocolate at the bar as an after dinner extra treat! Copper mugs are great for this!

* Have everyone bring their favorite dish that is special to their family traditions. It sparks conversation, and makes for a great meal when everyone is bringing the best of their best!

* Have a fun themed drink. This Apple Cider Sangria is a total crowd pleaser! My friend, Jenn sent me this recipe and I tweaked it a bit to make it my own. Such a hit!

APPLE CIDER SANGRIA

1 Bottle of Pinot Grigio
2 1/2 Cups Fresh Apple Cider
1 Cup Club Soda
1/2 Cup Ginger Brandy
1/4 Cup Ginger Bear
3 Honey Crisp Apples (Chopped)
3 Pears (Chopped)

Combine all ingredients and stir. Chill in fridge for at least an hour.

To Serve: Pour some brown sugar on to a plate. Wet the top of the glass and spin top of glass in brown sugar mixture to coat rim. Pour in sangria mixture and garnish with a cinnamon stick. Enjoy!
