I see nice pictures from a magazine, but I do not in any way connect to this type of home decor.  None of my friends or family has ever decorated like this.

@RedTop - me either. I mean, my sofa and loveseat both came from La Z Boy. I love them. They're pretty and comfortable and just regular people's furniture.

Everything is beautiful. However, we ate off paper plates. There were 29 of us at Thanksgiving dinner.

The goblets in the first and last photo are Lenox crystal. I have them in blue, but I don't remember the name of the style. 

Beautiful tables.

I love all of the pictures!  Well done!

I want this arrangement!!!!  Love the mixture of colors!!!!!

I really like the pinecone dish setting. They were all beautiful.

My grandmother used to go all out at Christmas and Thanksgiving and I even helped polish the silver. I must say, it was a joy to eat at that table! I also remember the big glass punch bowl which, by the way, I inherited and just found out it is worth a lot of money!  Times have changed and we are more casual these days but, I have to say, those memories are special.

Nicely said @jubilant. I do think most of us tend toward the more casual these days, but for both the nostalgia and the simple recognition of what, for many of us, is pretty, I do enjoy these sorts of posts.

Unusual for me, however, I love the colorful setting of the last photo the best.  So light and refreshing for Thanksgiving.

They are all lovely.

I had Christmas dinnerware/serveware, table cloths, and candles.

I never had Thanksgiving dinnerware *per se*, but you could use any solid color plate(s).  Same for a tablecloth.

Finding a proper vase or vessel and filling it with a thick bouquet of flowers, even adding branches, leaves and flowers from your own yard, it's doable.

I think these pics are great for giving inspiration to do something like this.  Nothing looked ostentatious or over the top.
