Splashes of Colors in the Details

Before we get started with the tablelscape design, let’s focus on the details first! We promise splashes of colors and you’re definitely getting it. We know Thanksgiving is set in the fall so the usual shades are mostly yellows, oranges and muted browns. 

However, we decided to play with the design and made it more spring-inspired! Thanksgiving is the day to be grateful for life’s abundant blessings so why not include flower blooms in the mix? Instead of yellows and oranges, we went for pinks and peaches.

Playing with colors in a design is totally fun, but remember to not overdo it! Since we have a lot of vibrant colors with this “Palm Springs Thanksgiving” tablescape, we decided to keep the cake classy and neat. After all, the taste is the absolute top priority when it comes to cakes!

Continue that spring design with the playful glasses as well! We found azure blue glasses that are quirky and fun to drink some wine in!

The running idea is to include as much flower blossoms as we can without overdoing it. Throw those overrated and overused crispy fall leaves and incorporate some spring elements to the whole Thanksgiving design! This is perfect for people who want to step out of their comfort zone and try something new with event design. Next up: the Palm Spring tablescape!

Abundant Palm Springs Tablescape Design Featuring Turquoise Table Runners

We know: it’s gorgeous. Most of the floral design of today’s featured tablelay uses reds and pinks. Since we wanted to go for that extra pop of color, we also decided to use different shades of blue in the tablescape design. 

The turquoise table linens is the perfect fun highlight for this Thanksgiving spread. The azure glassware complements the electric feel of the table linens. Plus, that overhead floral centerpiece is just too lovely.

Pale pinks are the colors to go for the flatware, including the powder pink table napkins. Like the glassware that complements the table linen, today’s flatware goes great with the floral centerpiece!

Since this is a spring-inspired table design, you will want to set this tablescape in an exterior setting! This way, the natural backdrop can greatly complement the design. We have blues and reds, now nature’s greens come in to play!

Go for the organic touch by using wood elements as well. Using full table linens to cover the wooden table is a waste. Since we’re using different shades of different colors, remember not to overdo the design.

Last but not the least: Palm Springs Thanksgiving Flatlay! There are so many options for you to choose from because we use a lot of different colors and shades in the design! Again, remember not to overdo the color palette decisions.

You can opt for plain white invitations and just include colorful prints in there. Remember the cake details? We kept it neat and classy but went to play with the smallest design details. You can do the same thing with the flatlay!
