Turkey Day Tables

Time to lay out the bird. 

My favorite part of entertaining is arranging the table. Sometimes it's more formal for a sit-down meal with a full spread; other times, it's a buffet of nibbles for game night; or, maybe it's just for display or decoration - meaning look, but you better not touch. 

A 'hangry' crowd approaches. Get the Thanksgiving table set.
Now.

Whether you're aiming to impress your mother-in-law or need a casual buffet to placate masses of hungry, foraging relatives, these decorating tips will have you (and your table) covered. 

Add heavy weights to the vase (rocks, grains, other) to make it sturdy enough to hold small seasonal gourds or vegetables.

Pick a color theme - here, it's greens and whites.

This type of natural decor can lend itself to both Thanksgiving and Christmas.

This table uses minimalism (read: not much stuff) and fresh ingredients (unassuming vegetables) for a high-brow look.
