Rustic Gold Thanksgiving Table with Pears & Greens

In this post I’m sharing a gorgeous gold Thanksgiving table. Easy and elegant, this tablescape features both faux and real pears, gold candleholders along with lots of greenery.

I’ve done quite a few Thanksgiving tables over the years, not only for the blog but also because I usually host and I love doing tablescapes.

Tablescapes are such a fun, creative outlet for me and I love that they also elevate the celebration. There is just something about sitting down to a dinner at a pretty table that makes everything a little more special!

This year, I’m using the cutest “Give Thanks” plates that I found at Home Goods. As soon as I saw them, I knew they would form the basis of my Thanksgiving table. I literally couldn’t scoop them up fast enough!

These salad plates can be hard to find, but I found some very similar ones that are adorable!

I wanted to focus on whites and golds only, with the pears creating the only real color on the table.

To do that, I used a simple white tablecloth and white napkins and a flax colored runner down the center.

Under the salad plate I layered an everyday white dinner plate and a white charger. Although all the elements are white, it stays interesting with all the texture going on.

I created the centerpiece by combining some green leaves from my yard, along with a combination of fresh and faux pears.

I think the key to making faux fruit or flowers look more realistic is combining some real with the faux! The mix creates a more believable look than using just faux alone. And it’s great when you can’t find what you need!

For instance, I wanted both gold and green pears, but could only find green at the market. I mixed in the faux gold ones I already owned with the real ones, and I think it worked pretty well!

The brass candleholders are a mix of vintage and Pottery Barn.

I’ve only recently started using gold flatware. I’m in love with the look for fall and winter and the warmth it brings to the table.

  1. LOVE the table design and especially the use of pears instead of ‘traditional’ pumpkins 🙂

    I must say however, that I’ve never seen all the flatware dislayed on the napkin as you’ve done. Very unusual…. Usually the knife and spoon are to the right of the plate with the sharp side of the knife facing inward to the plate.

    That being said, once again, I must say the table’s overall design is lovely.

  2. Sheila, your table is perfect! I love the gleam and glow of the gold, and with the greens and white, it’s elegant and just beautiful. It’s a joy to be on this inspirational tour with you!

  3. Sheila, I absolutely love you runner, and you completely fooled me with the pears! Even after you said some were faux and some real, I couldn’t tell which was which. Love the concept of clean white and gold with the harvest tones in the pears. Just beautiful!!

    1. Thanks so much Lory! I think I lucked out with these particular faux pears – they look pretty good!

      And as always, thank you SO much for including me with you and all of these amazing and talented ladies, I so enjoy our hops!

      Happy Fall to you!
