3 Simple Steps to Elevate Your Thanksgiving Tabletop

Lifestyle
Written By Laura Hooper & Alyssa Law

1. Pull out your fine china - Whether you're celebrating with your immediate household only or you've developed a COVID cluster that you can safely gather with this year, there's no better time to get a little fancy if only for one meal.  2. Include fresh florals in your centerpiece and maybe even a hand-lettered white pumpkin! Fresh florals add beautiful texture to your tabletop and a custom pumpkin is an unexpected decor element.  3. Add place cards - assigned seating makes sitting down to the table a breeze while also adding a personalized touch. Everyone loves seeing their names beautifully written! We recommend real white mini pumpkins, gold leaves, or hand-painted canvases.  Be sure to check out our full holiday collection, including laser cut cheese boards, oversized candle holders, personalized ornaments, and so much more. All available for shipping or local Alexandria pickup.
