2024 friendsgiving tablescape with fall florals and chic decorations

A Friendsgiving tablescape of autumnal prints & hues

I’m thrilled to share our 2024 Friendsgiving tablescape! Friendsgiving has truly become a cherished tradition for us—an occasion we eagerly anticipate each year, surrounded by friends who feel more like family. There’s so much joy in hosting, planning, and bringing it all together—Curt as the chef, and me as the decorator. Of course, none of this would be possible without our amazing friends, who each contribute a delicious dish, making the meal extra special. I highly recommend this collaborative approach when hosting a larger group! Each year I decide on a theme or color scheme before I plan my Friendsgiving decorations, this year I honed in on chocolate brown with hints of green and maroon – see more in our invitation below.

I’m also incredibly grateful to my friend Sarah Bridgeman for capturing stunning photos of our finished table, and to The Plot for creating the gorgeous florals that completed the look. It was nearly impossible to choose just a few photos, so I may have gotten a little carried away with the selection below! But hopefully they will provide plenty of inspiration for next year’s fall or Friendsgiving decorations…

Tory Burch spongeware plates for Thanksgiving place settings

Tory Burch Spongeware Dinner Plate

The hand-painted Spongeware Dinner Plate is inspired by the 19th-century English stoneware collected by Tory Burch and her mother, Reva. Mix with new and vintage pieces in the same palette — it makes things feel more interesting, less prescribed and comes as a set of two.

Tory Burch Gingham Tablecloth

This gingham tablecloth is inspired by the linens that Tory Burch’s parents used on their farm in Valley Forge. Made of woven jacquard, the classic check feels at home indoors and out for a dressed down table or luxurious table.

Tory Burch Dinner Napkins

Optimistic floral is a perennial favorite, inspired by classic chintz fabrics and comes as a set of four. Rendered in an earthy palette pulled from the garden, the Happy Times Bouquet Dinner Napkin brings the outdoors in, year round. Layer with new and vintage pieces for an eclectic mix.

And lastly, our digital Friendsgiving invitation designed by Sarah Gross Design. I wanted something that felt elevated and inviting. Our friends know just how *particular* I am and know I love color coordination. This year’s dress code color was placed in the florals and everyone arrived dressed to impress, kidos included!

The fall tablescape of my dreams

I absolutely loved how our Friendsgiving table turned out to host ten of our closest friends. I leaned into print, with this Julia Berolzheimer x Pottery Barn dinnerware collaboration and florals by local Buffalo floral designer The Plot, to match. With my brushed gold chandelier hanging overhead, it made sense to accent with gold flatware and candlesticks. See more timeless and cozy Friendsgiving ideas below along with similar items to shop!

Fall Floral Napkins

The floral spirit of a harvest garden party comes to life in this paisley-meets-batik printed napkin. Chrysanthemum colors (think butterscotch and berry) transition well, taking your table from season to season.

Rattan Placemats

I truly love these meticulously handcrafted and woven placemats. They add the perfect amount of texture while providing protection to your table with heat resistance and non-slip.

Classic Cocktail Coupes

This is some of my favorite classic glassware, perfect for anything from espresso martinis to signature cocktails. I especially love that it comes beautifully packaged for easy gifting.

Friendsgiving ideas for the perfect dinner party

Don’t shy away from print, texture, and layering. Fall is all about abundance, so lean into it by pairing beautiful fall florals with your favorite prints and patterns.

Include a couple of statement pieces, like these incredible vintage parrot candlesticks (you can find them here or search for similar designs on Etsy).

Bring the outdoors in with foliage-forward floral designs. You can incorporate dried stems too for added texture and interest.

Dine by candlelight! It sets the tone for a cozy evening inside and the soft lighting illuminates your table design.

With timeless details, this Thanksgiving-inspired fall tablescape can easily be recreated in honor of autumn gatherings for years to come. Find more entertaining ideas here.
