If you are looking to wow your family and friends this Thanksgiving, read on to learn my tips on how to set a beautiful holiday table. Using simple white foundational pieces and some festive seasonal décor, I created an elegant and warm Thanksgiving table. It was simple to put together and I am going to walk you through the process step by step!

I love a classic white set of dishes because they are so versatile and go with anything. For this tablescape I chose the Savary 16-piece dish set.
