With Thanksgiving just three days away, many of us are focused on creating a delicious meal for friends and family. While the food is important, so is your table! Today, we are pleased to feature lovely tabletop ideas that will make a perfect setting for your holiday meal. We turned to Bliss Gift & Home, a beautiful new store at Banner Hall in Jackson, to create an elegant, yet simple table that is warm, inviting and easy to recreate.
Cathy Joyner of Bliss Gift & Home says, “The first Thanksgiving tablescape photographed was styled by designer Cindy Walsh and the second was styled by the talented staff at Inspiration MS. The handmade farm table from Taylor, MS was the perfect backdrop for a fall setting.”

“We used a variety of dinnerware patterns rather than the predictable matching plates, bowls, etc. to add some interest and color to the browns and neutrals. One of my favorite touches is the use of a line of women's scarves instead of a tablecloth. The aqua and gold colors of the scarves helped separate the browns of the straw place mats from the rustic table. Acorn Christmas ornaments were attached to the napkin rings and driftwood turkeys with a tin spray were scattered around the table to lend a unique touch of fall.”
Cathy adds, “The multi-colored glass pumpkins are a wise purchase that can be used from year to year rather than the expected real pumpkins - save those for the front porch!”
All of these incredible items are available at Bliss Gift & Home, as well as Cathy’s favorite books: Giving Thanks and Gratitude. “The former is a holiday guest book to fill with thoughts of gratitude and is made to be a tradition from year to year becoming a record of all that shapes you and all that brings your family together. The latter is filled with quotes that remind us of the simple things in life for which to be thankful; for example, ‘Those who know and love you shall rise to your example and be inspired. (unknown)'”

Thank you, Cathy and Cindy, for putting together such a charming table. We especially love that all of it can be stored and reused for many years to come. After a wonderful Thanksgiving feast, wrap up in one of the gorgeous scarves and adorn your tree with the Christmas ornaments!

The stunning floral arrangements were created by the talented Wendy Putt at Fresh Cut Catering & Floral, and add life to the table with vivid fall colors. Wendy filled a traditional cornucopia with sunflowers, richly hued roses, greenery and berries. The result is a spectacular arrangement that is sure to impress your guests.
