Every year I head into November with grand plans for my Thanksgiving table design. Lush greenery, romantic candlelight, pretty place settings. And every year, without fail, the guests begin to arrive and I've barely got my makeup done and I'm still wearing my slippers, and somehow my Pinterest plans fade away. We settle for a few lit candles as everyone grabs their plates and digs in. While I'm almost certain the pattern will repeat itself again this year, I still find myself collecting bits and pieces of inspiration, because, well, it makes me happy, which I guess is why I love this job.
In hopes that you might be a bit more successful in your Thanksgiving endeavors, I've taken the liberty of gathering inspiration from our bridal magazines across the country. A girl can dream, right? Just remember, as I tell myself annually, it's not what's on the table, but who's around it.
Be sure to visit each full feature to see all the talented vendors who helped pull these dream tables together.
