Dressing Up Your Table

As a bride, you make many decisions. Most of them thinking about details for the wedding day. But registry items are for after the wedding! And during this Thanksgiving week, it’s a given that food, food, and more food will be on the brain. So why not think about how you’re going to serve your food? We want to share some pieces with you that will dress up your table for future Thanksgivings, leaving you thankful you have them in your collection.

Side dishes never looked lovelier in the Inside Out Bowls from Anthropologie. The Atom Art Bowls are perfect for dessert. We’re thinkin’ ice cream. Mmmm.

Also from Anthropologie, pieces from the Verdant Acres collection allows you to add a splash of color to your table! The watercolor-like colors and floral designs add a vintage and delicate feel to your table’s feast. Not too casual, not too formal. Juuuuust right.

In the mood for less color, more simple? You can still serve in style. Anthropologie carries the Fleur de Lys Dinnerware collection and it is delicious even without food on top! The pieces have a certain femininity without being too girly, and the unique shapes and details add personality to your run-of-the-mill white china. This variation on that theme is welcome and purty!

It’s common knowledge that Bloomingdale’s is known for classy sophistication, so if you are going for a more traditional look on your table, we think Villeroy & Boch’s White Lace series fits the bill precisely! With a black and white color scheme, a simple pattern, and classic figures, this dinnerware will allow the feast you serve to really shine in the spotlight.

But your loot from Bloomies can still have modern lines and colors! While the folks behind the Big Brown Bag know how to keep timeless traditions alive, they also sell funky tableware with a grown-up twist. Drinking wine? Add some bold colors and drink it in glass bulbs. The William Yeoward Country Fanny Goblets add the right amount of shades to your spread. Mix and match or go with a theme. Either way, your guests will ask you to keep pouring!

Macy’s won’t let you serve food with your bare hands, so they have these whimsical serving pieces! Simply Designz Serveware features 2 glass-beaded servers and we think they’re so unique! Light colors adorn the pieces and you have options to match your whole table. Here, we spotlight clear and amethyst. And if you accidentally drop some salad from the bowl to your plate, at least you did it in style.

Any way you slice it, you’re sure to have a lovely Thanksgiving holiday this year and for years to come. All you need is love… and food, and family, and friends! Enjoy your feast and the way you serve it. And after you digest and you find yourself hungry again, think about what you’d like to add to your registry so that you have items you and your partner can love as you grow old together. Who knows? You could be serving your grandchildren on these very dishes!
