Thanksgiving, Aussie style!

So…
Since you guys were no help at all with my Aussie Thanksgiving table, I was forced to take matters into my own hands!
With the help of some orange napkins, raffia, candles and flowers I have put together a table that uses all the colours of Thanksgiving, all without using actual pumpkins. I added some purple to the mix because, let’s face it… there really is a thing as too much orange.
The turkey is in the oven BBQ, the house is full of amazing smells, and the guests will be here soon. Now might be a good time to stop blogging and get myself pretty!
such a beautiful set up! i love the candles! congrats!
happy holidays!
I think your table looks better than any I’ve seen.
Also, I think the obvious Southern Hemisphere location and opposite seasons make things a little complicated to decorate for. Decorating for fall makes little sense.
It looks lovely, the oranges and yellows and purples are nice!
I hope the food was as awesome as the table.
