Our favorite holiday – one dedicated to family, friends, food and football – is almost here. Your table will be the centerpiece of your Thanksgiving feast, so before you chomp on turkey legs or ask for second helpings of pecan pie, create a seasonal table setting that is inviting and warm.
“A beautiful tablescape doesn’t have to be costly,” says Sabrina Soto, Target Style Expert for Home and HGTV designer. “Layering in key holiday trends to your everyday pieces can be a cost-effective way to create a one-of-a-kind dinner table.”
Your tabletop sets the stage for an evening of delicious food (the best part). Celeb chef Giada De Laurentiis prepares most of the meal in advance, so she can enjoy the party rather than trying to cook everything at once. “Try to leave only one item for last minute prep – this brings everyone into the kitchen and sets the tone for a cozy, comfortable evening.”
We can practically taste the stuffing and cranberries!
