Dress Your Turkey, Thanksgiving Decor and More
Written by Brandi Jackson
Organic, simple and fabulous. That is our idea for the perfect Thanksgiving tablescape. Soft gray linens, ivory and orange accents for an elegant and chic look. Browns, creams, with touches of green for a more organic and earthy feel. Here are some fabulous tables that we found via Pinterest, check out our Party Decor Pinterest page for ideas.
Use mini pumpkins, monogramed with your guests initials, on top of your finest china for a sophisticated touch that will be talked about for many years to come. Want a more casual feel? Have the kids find some beautiful fall leaves and paint the guest names. Or, pinecones with personalized construction paper flags. The wonderful thing about Thanksgiving is that mother nature is the best party supply store!

We found this deliciously light cocktail recipe from Katie Lee’s The Comfort Table .
Ginger Royale (a play on the Kir Royale)
Pour 1 ounce of ginger liqueur (such as Domaine De Canton) in a champagne glass and then top with 3 ounces of champagne. Cheers!
