A FRILLY VINTAGE SET
PRETTY PASTEL LUNCHEON DISHES CAN BECOME UNEXPECTEDLY SEASONAL
WHEN COMBINED WITH TRADITIONAL THANKSGIVING ELEMENTS
GET INSPIRED BY FALL
Surprise your dinner guests with an
autumn tablescape that’s anchored
by a feminine floral pattern, such as
this violet Regent by Adams China
(available through replacements.com).
Then take it up another notch with
a tablecloth that features traditional
mustard shades (I’On in Gold; palmette
home.com) and understated mauve
napkins (Linen Table Napkins in Dusk;
cultiver.com).
MIX IN METALLIC
TOUCHES
Vintage brass chargers and gold-toned
mercury glass votives complement
the warm shades of the table linens.
The silver flatware’s ornate filigree
(Gorham’s Melrose; replacements
.com) coordinates seamlessly with
the whimsical detailing on the plates.
Scrolled, calligraphed place cards
that are rimmed in gold resemble
the flourishes on the china itself but
are actually handmade and available
to order on Etsy (picturaandpoesis
.etsy.com).
WOW WITH FLOWERS
The eye-catching arrangement of
wine- and ruby-toned ranunculus,
dahlias, and artichokes makes a
strong, vivid counterpoint to the
gold tablecloth while pushing the
pale lavender china pattern toward a
darker, more conventional Thanks-
giving palette. Break up the array of
bold blooms by adding a few sprigs
of slightly fuzzy dusty miller and
letting them spill over the edges of
the centerpiece. The simple metal
cylindrical vase softens the large
gap between the lighter-hued table
settings and the round plume of
vibrant blossoms. å
Clip Cautiously
Leave the stems
longer so you
can trim them
down after
arranging.
