Celebrate Thanksgiving with the Season’s Harvest

Celebrate Thanksgiving with the Season’s HarvestResplendent in orange and bright green, nature’s bounty brings holiday cheer to this cozy and casual family meal.Naturally Bright

A simple crystal pattern paired with glistening pewter goblets and a burlap runner lend a cordial spirit to this tablescape. Warmly aglow with scattered votive candles, the setting features neutral browns and creams.

Blue-and-white containers hold airy evergreen trimmings and magnolia leaves with a bowl of citrus mixed in for a dramatic pop. Fresh, leafy-green linens and pine cone napkin rings repeat the naturalistic theme.

The tableau is completed by a sideboard overflowing with crisp green apples and lively citrus—set off by lush foliage, rich metallic lanterns, and a pewter pitcher.

In keeping with the relaxed table scheme, the food for this repast is casually elegant with hints of herbal freshness throughout, including Parmesan-tinged herb rolls served in a gingham-lined wicker basket and a perfectly browned turkey flavored with rosemary and sage.
