Prep Like a Pro
Indigo
WYRTH
Before the turkey hits the oven, be sure to equip your kitchen with the proper cookware and bakeware to ensure your dinner is a meal to remember. A Dutch oven not only cooks food to perfection, but also looks stunning on your stovetop, while a pie dish in an autumnal hue will look beautiful on your tabletop. And don’t forget the servingware! From chic cocktail glasses to earthy stoneware, these pieces will add some elevated charm to your Thanksgiving table.
Design Your Tablescape
WYRTH
H&M
Set the stage for your Thanksgiving feast with a stunning tablescape sure to impress. A rich-coloured tabletop or festive tablerunner makes a beautiful backdrop for your table décor, while cloth napkins housed in napkin rings add an extra special touch for a momentous occasion. Complete the tablescape with a floral arrangement or some pampas grass in a ceramic vase as the perfect finishing touch.
