When planning this Thanksgiving scene, the team at Harlin & Sparrow Events had two goals in mind: to show off the vibrant fall colors, and to let us all know that your Thanksgiving spreads can be just as beautiful, and still stress-free. So, along with all the photos by Sarah Deragon, we’ve got a little lesson in how to set your table for Thanksgiving this year.

First things first, Brittany of Harlin & Sparrow Events shares, when you go to set your table, don’t stress! You probably already have more than you think you do to add. Brittany says, Pull in textures and patterns. Be bold with color variations, and have fun with it. Thanksgiving colors are browns, reds, and yellows, you can even throw pink in there to make the look more vibrant.

All of the floral arrangements Jaclyn K. Nesbitt used throughout channeled those rich fall tones.

Another tip? Utilize nature however possible—like with leaves and wood elements. Their flower arrangements are pretty amaze, but you can also head to your local flower mart and try your hand at a DIY centerpiece.

This shoot was inspired by fall and all the beauty that goes along with it… When creating table spreads, we try to use textures and patterns to crate out overall vision. Fall is such a gorgeous time of year, so It’s pretty easy to create an outside event in Sonoma, CA.
