In this post: Looking for Thanksgiving table setting ideas? Find Inspiration in this burnished copper fall tablescape for a warm Thanksgiving dinner.⇒
I love to follow the calendar.
Every fall, I begin my decorating using very pale colors. They might be as colorless as whites and neutrals, or perhaps very pale pastels.
Gradually, I started adding more color but typically stick to my preferred softer palette until well into the season.
It’s not until we get closer to Thanksgiving that I start playing with oranges and browns. In today’s post I’m featuring one such table that celebrates these warmer tones.
While I’m still styling it in my soft French inspired way, today’s rustic copper fall tablescape would be perfect for a warm Thanksgiving dinner.
The essence of this Thanksgiving table setting is communicated through the multi-level plate stack, building from a burnished copper charger to an ivory English country dinner plate.
Next come brown floral transferware plates. They form a lovely border beneath the pretty pink depression glass cups perched on top in sculptural fashion.
(See source list below.)
Plum and green hydrangeas mix with blush pink roses, seeded eucalyptus, seasonal berries and wispy pops of burgundy in a lush autumnal centerpiece.
Baby boo pumpkins nest sweetly in the vintage dessert cups to reflect the time of year.
The gorgeous blush pink ruffled throw, one of my favorites, is used as a foundation on this table.
Vintage brass candlestick holders add another note of warmth, embellished by golden bobeches with rose crystal drops.
The napkin cluster layers a russet linen hem stitch over a pale pink ruffle-edged napkin. Subtle copper napkin rings hug the pieces together.
Contrasting the feminine elements on the table are some more rustic hints, such as the square bark container that holds the brimming floral centerpiece.
Delicate pink champagne flutes pick up the paler tones on the table, while silver flecked candles offer another little touch of glimmer.
The warmth the table exudes would welcome any guest at this meal.
Combining burnished copper with rust and burgundy accents supplies the warmth of the fall season, yet the lighter pinks offer a charming and more personal way for me to celebrate this very special holiday.

Lory, Your floral centerpiece is beautiful and your container has the perfect seasonal texture. Love the blush depression glass pieces layered with transferware.
Thanks so much, Bonnie! I guess even when I do fall colors, the pinks are never far behind… 😉
I’ve rarely thought of Thanksgiving as being “romantic”, but you created the mood here. You also made me remember that I have a lovely pink depression glass platter that I have never used on my tables. This is absolutely beautiful!
Thanks, Sandra! And I bet that platter would look wonderful on your Thanksgiving table… 😉
Such a lovely table. So soft and romantic.
Thank you, Dawn!
