Best Thanksgiving Tablescapes
It’s that time of year where we put turkeys on everything, including our hips. I’ve been trolling for good DIY stuff but then I kept coming across all these beautiful not-so-DIY tablescapes, which I figured never hurts to share. A turkey can always dream, right?
For the first one all you need is:
A prop stylist to prep it for three days (around $500 a day, some more, some less), a food stylist for one prep, one shoot @ $500/day, $500 in food, $1500 in props, an exotic location rental @ $2500/day, an amazing editorial photographer ($1500 a day at LEAST), two PA’s, an art director and photo editor.
DIY it!!!
MY LATEST VIDEOS
From Gourmet Magazine. May it rest in peace. Still one of my most favorite magazines even though I didn’t cook. Their spreads were just insanely beautifully shot and styled.

This one is WAY more approachable. It’s burlap (which is under $5 a yard) with pretty brass candlesticks that you can get at thrift stores across america for $1 to $3. Still rustic and warm and all thanksgiving-y.

You don’t need to orange to say thanks. This table, styled by one of my best friends Scott Horne, is all moody and cozy and beautiful with the dark purple and black accents on that rich wood table. Yes. I’ve loved this shot for four years and I continue to love it. Shot by Kate Mathis, who is amazing.

Green, orange, white with hits of black? I wouldn’t have thought of it, but YES, it’s beautiful. The natural elements keeps it feeling warm while the modern elements give it an edge.

Those white gourds are simple and fresh, but still say “thanks.” This one needs some warmth, candlelight, or another dark color but it is BEAUTIFUL.
