Every year my husband and I throw a Friendsgiving for all of our closest friends. I think we might be going on our 12th year now (wow!). I like to start thinking about table decor early, so when it’s time, I can worry more about food prep and less about decor ๐ I partnered with World Market and went though a little trial run this week. They’re always my first stop for entertaining essentials and decor. You just can’t beat theirย selection and prices!
I decided to map out a few different looks using the same color scheme.ย I used a gray buffalo check plaid on the table and mixed it with some white and gray dinnerware. I love how gray is kind of a non-traditional color to use for fall. It really gives the table a more updatedย look. And isn’t it funny how mixing around the accessories can give the table a different feel? Also a huge factor in tabletop decor? The florals. The gorgeous flowers I used today are from my favorite local floral designer Freya Prowe from Brother & Sisters Flowers.
Take a look at the different table setups below and let me know what you think! Which one is your favorite?
look one
look two
look three
And there you have it! My three different yet similar friendsgiving looks ๐ Which one would you guys go with? Have you ever had a friendsgiving dinnerย before? I think it’s my husband’s excuse to get more turkey ๐ A huge big thank you to Freya from Brother & Sisters Flowers for her amazing artistry and last minute prowess!

October 22, 2016 at 6:48 pmLOVE Look #1. I think it’s the most cohesive look because the white pumpkin center piece with the white flowers ties in with the pumpkins in the dishes. ALSO, I love reading your blog!

October 24, 2016 at 8:18 pmThese are all so lovely! I think if I had to pick one, I would go with three. I love the different textures with the placemats, I also love the bunting on the mirror. One and two are also beautiful. ๐

October 24, 2016 at 10:51 pmI love the white and grey! Such a different choice from the traditional fall colors. And those little white pumpkins really pop against the grey bowls.

October 30, 2016 at 10:24 pmGreat idea about naming “Friendsgiving” instead of “Thanksgiving”! Your dining room including table settings looks so beautiful colors! ๐

November 3, 2016 at 7:04 amAside from this beautiful presentation, I can’t help but feel that I have to copy that “Friendsgiving” idea for my own circle! I like the placemats, they go well with giving the table a cozy approach.
