Let’s get one thing straight. The real star of Thanksgiving isn’t the food on the table — it’s what’s underneath it. For a style-conscious hostess, mediocre servewere just won’t do. This is especially true for Thanksgiving, where the food being served is the center of everyone’s attention.

We’ve got plenty of great ideas for making your tablescape or buffet space special, but all it really takes is a pretty platter or two. We’re sharing our dream lineup for Thanksgiving this year, from a chic platter to plate your bird to the cutest ceramic gravy vessel…
