Holiday Table

By Tamera Beardsley @tamerabeardsley

We broke tradition this yearand had Thanksgiving in San Diegohosted by my gorgeous girl and her husband.Our family has gone through changesand it just felt right for change.
Ellis sent me some inspiration picturesand 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 yearin her marriage to Hunterwas a total sweetheartand let us borrow her brand new wedding pretties from Anthropologie!(The pictures from their stunning wedding are backand 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 ofthe farm table.
Pears and pomegranates mixed in with cut roses of the palest shadesto accent the dishes and the glassware.

For the centerpiece I picked up a few new gold pieces fromTarget'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 flowersI bought a large orchid plant from Trader Joe'sand 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 Beholdenseveral years agolayered over a fitted denim shirtwith suede block heeled shoes.

A few more day time shots to see how all of the pieces pulled togetherfor a super fresh and luxurious take on a Family Thanksgiving!



Oh the food!!

My daughter Ellis truly out did herselfwith all of her delicious, gourmet dishes!!

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