A casual Thanksgiving table is the kind I love to sit at! Holiday meals are always special but you can easily achieve a pretty setup without fancy decorations or fine tableware. You can eliminate a lot of turkey-day stress by keeping the tabletop simple. But that never means that your guests won’t think it’s fabulous! Make it pretty with natural elements, mix-and-match dishes, and lots of love and your feast will be a hit! A casual table where fine etiquette is not required will always create a relaxed atmosphere. You might find your friends and family will linger long after the meal has ended. Conversations around a table can lead to some of the finest memories. So let’s make the season bright…

Alfresco dining is one of my favorite things to do! Any time of year is ok with me…but early fall is my top pick overall. The weather is comfortable and the changing garden makes a beautiful backdrop for a casual table to gather around! A blend of late summer and the approaching new season is a perfect combo of color and texture for creating a warm & cozy vibe. Today I’d love to share some inspiration for outdoor dining with hints of fall. Summer might be winding down but there’s still time to soak up outdoor time…
