One of the things I love most about the holidays is decorating the table. While I'm not a fan of over-the-top fancy place settings, I do find it quite fun to celebrate the day with nice plates, silverware, and glasses. As for the accessories, I like to keep the centerpieces, place cards, and scattered decor rather simple, allowing the food to be the center of attention. Here are a few Thanksgiving table settings I'm loving, complete with a place setting diagram to assist those of us who are in charge of that particular duty this year.
I foresee a lot of dishes in the future:

I love simple table set ups as well. They're just so refreshing and classic. Love the ones you have posted! xx
The placement diagrams are *so* helpful! I am hosting Thanksgiving dinner at my house this year, and this is such a great tip to make sure we get placements right! The pictures you posted are also pretty gorgeous. :)
Hope you have a great holiday!

I love these beautiful Thanksgiving place settings. I'm looking forward to celebrate! Happy Thanksgiving!!
I'm saving these diagrams and printing them off ASAP. I've always had a problem remembering what goes where, even after many years of setting the table. Those will be my secret cheat sheets :)

So pretty (and useful)! I always appreciate how well your posts are thought out. :) Such a nice reference post. Bookmarking it!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. I hope you have some delicious GF goodies.
Goodness! That table is lovely, and I love the gold pumpkins! :) [It's what I'm planning to do for Thanksgiving! I would totally go for the simple table [getting enough glassware and tableware would be a hard thing to do!]
Happy Thanksgiving! :D

That formal place setting is a little intense, no? Good stuff though!!
I love the post!! The diagrams are particularly helpful, you need a big table to appropriately set for the formal arrangement! I love you inspiration pictures as well. The gourd candle holders are fantastic and I love the gold accents xoxo
Lovely post!! I prefer simple as well...I love creating an atmosphere where guests can enjoy themselves and are not overwhelmed with the decor on the table. These photos are just right! xx

I love how LOW these tablescapes all are! Its so frustrating when there's a giant wall in the middle of a table, no? ♥
One of my favorite things in life is decorating a pretty table for a dinner.
Have a great holiday! Teri
I love the different table settings you have shared,I can't even decide which I like best, the books are very interesting & unexpected which I love, the blue grey table is sophisticated, they are all very special. I have just started following you and I have pinned a ton of images, we have similar tastes. Have a happy & blessed Thanksgiving!
That place setting guide is super essential!
I love these ideas, the gold mini pumpkins are super cute!!
