A Feast for the Season

Winter greenery and a serene palette cast a heartwarming glow over this holiday repast sure to create memories for years to come.

Kindle love and laughter at a table set to welcome all ages for a sumptuous meal that’s designed to delight. Whether the occasion is Thanksgiving, Christmas, or in between, lively banter drifts around a low centerpiece of evergreen magnolia leaves, seeded eucalyptus, and brunia berries interwoven with vases of snow-white ranunculus. The addition of antique hydrangeas to side arrangements reiterates the softness of the peaceful color scheme. 

Tall tapers lend stately elegance as pine cone place holders join a natural linen tablecloth to offer an organic note amid soft blue accents and glistening gold flatware. Embroidered napkins with a forest-inspired motif are tied with a petite velvet bow, welcoming guests to the table with festive flair.

As family returns home and friends gather in a spirit of camaraderie, a menu of traditional fare hearkens to fêtes of years gone by. A dry-brined roasted turkey with golden skin takes center stage, surrounded by seasonal fruits and herbs.

Lemony broccoli and Cornbread Dressing with Sausage and Collard Greens are easy to throw together and sure to be crowd-pleasers.

 
For a little added zip with familiar flavors, guests will enjoy Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes accompanied by Cranberries with Orange Liqueur.
