Every day we gather around the table with family, sometimes friends. Once or twice a year we make that act a tradition.
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays and setting the table has become apart of that tradition for me. With the help of West Elm, gathering around the table this year will be a little more special!
It all starts with the perfect color scheme and
a little whimsy and fun, like this all natural farm fresh cotton centerpiece.
Mix that will a traditional pieces like white platters and the table starts to come together.
When I decided to add my mothers goldware to the table it immediately reminded me of childhood holiday dinners that makes these moments special.
As much as I believe in something old, something new and fresh is a ways a needed at your table! After adding these salad plates from the West Elm Market the table immediate became alive and meaningful.
Each guest is greeted with a touch of gold and a special message.
Sometimes all takes is to fall in love with one piece to inspire an entire table.
Finishing the table with accents like votive, cake plates, placeholders and whimsy items like these fun pinecone salt and pepper shakers from West Elm adds some interest to the table.
These gold rimmed glasses are the perfect for chatty guests and sparkling punch.
I’m so honored to host this dinner every year! I hope our family and guests will appreciate the special touches this year!!!
To get started on your own gold and black table from West Elm and West Elm Market add some of these to your cart.
I love it!

I adore the entire collection:0)
Your table setting is absolutely gorgeous!! Great job!
Thank you Emily!
Gorgeous table setting!
Thanks so much!
Adore your table setting Destiny! Especially love the juxtaposition of the natural elements with the modern gold touches. Last week I ordered some cotton stems to use on our Christmas tree this year. Thought it would give it a nice pop of white. Happy to have discovered your blog. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you! I love the idea of cotton on the tree too!
I found this beautiful table via DIY show off and an so glad i did! It is gorgeous. The gold netting you placed between the plates adds such a neat touch. What did you use? Of course, your mom’s flatware is the “everything”. How blessed you are. Plan to take a look around the rest of your blog on this lazy Sunday and expecting more goodness. hope God blesses your day.
Its the gold netting you use on trees! ha! I just cut it up:0) I love how it turned out!!! Thanks so much for visiting!
Love this table! Love your style!
PS: Just caught you on a rerun of Nate Berkus show this weekend. I didn’t realize that was you until today! Teehee.
Adorable!
ha!!! thank you!
where did you find the feather cut-outs used as place cards?
Thanks!
where did you get the paper feather placecards?
I made those on my Silhouette:0)
I somehow found your blog today and so glad I did!
I don’t see those black “Welcome Home” plates you used for your Thanksgiving table on West Elm. Is that only a seasonal item?
Thank you!
Are those black plates you used just a seasonal item that West Elm sells? I love those and would love to purchase some for our next Thanksgiving:)
I featured this gorgeous table on my blog, I hope you’ll check it out!
