Thanksgiving is the moment to bring warmth, beauty, and generosity to your table—and a luxe harvest tablescape does exactly that. With rich textures, layered materials, and the right decorative accents, you can transform your dining space into an elevated, welcoming scene.
Here’s your step-by-step guide to creating a luxurious Thanksgiving table using signature Maison de Bucks pieces.
1. Start with a Warm, Neutral Base
A luxe table begins with a calm canvas. Choose a neutral linen tablecloth or runner—think oatmeal, ivory, or warm taupe. This soft base allows your décor pieces to shine while giving the entire setting a refined, cohesive tone.
Tip: If your table is beautiful wood, skip the cloth and use a runner. The blend of wood grain and marble or brass accents is incredibly sophisticated.
2. Add Natural Seasonal Layering
Before placing decorative pieces, bring in subtle natural elements that anchor the harvest theme:
- Dried eucalyptus
- Small gourds or pumpkins (muted whites or sage greens look chic)
- Wheat or pampas stems
- Scattered acorns or nuts for texture
These neutral botanical elements create a soft autumn backbone that keeps the look warm—but elevated.
3. Use Maison de Bucks Trays as Functional Centerpiece Foundations
Trays are the secret to a polished, deliberate-looking tablescape. They group items together, add structure, and instantly elevate simple décor. Use them in the center of the table to build your display.
Marble Trays
Perfect for adding cool, luxe stone texture. Use a marble tray as the anchor for your centerpiece—top it with candles, vases, or mini pumpkins for a sculptural look.
Mirror Trays
Ideal for reflective glamour. The mirrored surface bounces candlelight beautifully and adds a festive glow.
Metal Trays with Faux Leather Base
These add warmth and sophistication. Their soft texture keeps the table from looking too formal and grounds metallic accents like brass candlestands.
4. Build Height & Drama with Candlestands
Nothing says luxury like candlelight. Mix heights and materials to create depth, dimension, and that golden harvest glow.
Brass Candlestands
Warm, rich, and timeless—these bring instant elegance to the table. Pair them in odd numbers for natural balance.
Metal Candlestands
These are perfect for adding a modern, architectural edge. Mix matte and polished finishes for a curated look.
Glass Candlestands
Airy, delicate, and perfect for softening the heavier elements like marble or brass. They catch and refract candlelight beautifully.
Styling Tip:
Cluster a set of three candlestands on a marble tray, then place a single brass candlestand on each side of the centerpiece to create symmetry without being predictable.
5. Add Florals or Foliage in MDB Vases
Your vase choice sets the mood:
Stylish Ceramic Vases
Their matte, artisanal texture brings a grounded, modern-luxe feel. Fill them with dried florals, pampas, or softly tinted roses.
Glass Vases
Perfect for lighter or more traditional arrangements. A medium-height glass vase with autumn leaves or hydrangeas instantly elevates the table without blocking sightlines.
Pro Tip:
Use two smaller vases instead of one large one. It keeps the table airy and spreads visual interest along its length.
6. Elevate the Serving Moment with the Marble Cake Stand
Even if you’re not displaying a cake, the marble cake stand is a secret styling weapon.
Use it to serve:
- Pumpkin pie
- Artisanal bread
- Cheese wheels
- A small floral arrangement as a raised centerpiece
Its elevation adds a second height tier to the table, giving your tablescape magazine-level dimension.
7. Add Small Luxe Details
This is where the table becomes truly “luxe harvest”:
- Cloth napkins with brass or wooden rings
- Handwritten place cards
- Gold or matte-black cutlery
- Mini pumpkins or pears at each setting
- A sprig of sage or rosemary on each plate
These simple touches bring intimacy and refinement.
8. Balance the Table with a Soft Glow
Once everything is set, dim the overhead lights and let your candles do the work. Luxe harvest décor is all about warmth, depth, and atmosphere.
Mirror trays + brass candlestands + glass vases = the perfect glow trifecta.
Final Look: Warm, Layered Luxury
A luxe harvest tablescape blends natural textures, elevated materials, and thoughtful details. By incorporating Maison de Bucks’ marble trays, mirror trays, metal trays, candlestands, vases, and marble cake stand, you create a centerpiece that feels intentional, elegant, and beautifully seasonal.
