Thanksgiving In Cranberry
I am a big fan of non-traditional colors for my holidays…I’ve done roundups of all types of color combos like last week’s Thanksgiving in Navy, and Thanksgiving In Purple, Thanksgiving In Pink And Blue and Thanksgiving in Copper from years past. Let’s keep the tradition going with one of my favorite colors, cranberry!
Pairing beautifully with shades of blue, green, copper and ivory, cranberry is a deep tone that does well as an accent color. It is perfect for fall celebrating; check out these great ways to bring the hue in for your gathering both as the fruit and shade…

Serve my Sparkling Cranapple Punch before and during dinner…make it a mocktail or kick it up into a cocktail with white rum.
Serving champagne instead? Don’t just fill a container with ice! Create a ice bucket with clippings and cranberries like this beauty from Style Me Pretty. Google search how to make one…just be warned, there are different variations that all require many hours for the ice to set so don’t start this project Thanksgiving morning.
Who says you just have to do pie for Thanksgiving? This gorgeous naked cake featured on Hey Wedding Lady has sugared cranberries as its only adornment.
