Thanksgiving Table

We broke tradition this year

and 

had Thanksgiving in San Diego

hosted by my gorgeous girl and her husband.

Our family has gone through changes

and

 it just felt right for change.

Ellis sent me some inspiration pictures

and 

I packed my styling bags.

Our Thanksgiving table 

ended up to be my very favorite 

Tablescape ever!

The table styling was definitely a communal effort.

Ellis provided the fabulous venue and styling direction.

Megan, our newest, wonderful addition to the family this year

in her marriage to Hunter

was a total sweetheart

and 

let us borrow her brand new wedding pretties 

from Anthropologie!

(The pictures from their stunning wedding are back

and

 I will be sharing!!)

I  brought down up my favorite hammered charges to complete the place settings.

I wove the  gorgeous pieces together with pampas grass down the center of

the farm table.

Pears and pomegranates mixed in with cut roses of the palest shades

to accent the dishes and the glassware.

For the centerpiece I picked up a few new gold pieces from

Target's Hearth and Hand 

and 

Opal House lines.

The flowers in the center were one of my favorite parts!

Since I was traveling by car with the flowers

I bought a large orchid plant from Trader Joe's

and simply cut the flowers 

and arranged them in the center of the candelabra.

For even more impact I added cut roses in similar shades.

For our beautiful dinner I wore my dress from Beholden

several years ago

layered over a fitted denim shirt

with suede block heeled shoes.

A few more day time shots to see how all of the pieces pulled together

for 

a super fresh and luxurious take on a 

Family Thanksgiving!

Oh the food!!

My daughter Ellis truly out did herself

with all of her delicious, gourmet dishes!!

I t was definitely a magical, memorable, precious evening!

As always my friends

I wish you love and joy

as you style your life
