The Trimmings

As for the Thanksgiving tablescape? Perfectly autumnal. From the centerpiece—an inspired mix of fresh and dried foliage soured and styled by Gemma Blooms—to the appetizers and dessert (all eyes will be on this unforgettable Apple Cider Pumpkin Bundt Cake), every element lends an air of festivity without overpowering the scene. Not to mention—it’s all easily prepped beforehand, making trimming the table effortless as can be. For an essential holiday touch, don your favorite cozy knit while you put everything in its place.

Rest assured your guests are guaranteed to go in for seconds.
