Part of the charm of Fiestaware are the colors. I think your guests will enjoy the mismatch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mismatched-fiestaware-for-thanksgiving#post-1179659 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 14:47:00 +0000 bushelandapeck 1179659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it can't go in the dishwasher it wouldn't be an option for me.

Haha. No fair :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mismatched-fiestaware-for-thanksgiving#post-1179634 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 14:42:35 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1179634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the multi color table look. A neutral table cloth and a flower arrangement with multi color flowers will pull it all together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mismatched-fiestaware-for-thanksgiving#post-1179549 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 14:24:00 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 1179549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OK, fully convinced! I'm going to roll with it. And if the haters start any hate, he or she can eat dinner off of a paper plate in the driveway.</p> <p>I do need to figure out a table cloth/napkin color. I don't have a table cloth that fits, especially with the leaf in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mismatched-fiestaware-for-thanksgiving#post-1179489 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 14:08:22 +0000 honeybear 1179489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Fiestaware and mismatched plates in general, although I don't really think of differently-colored Fiestaware as mismatched, because it all coordinates so well. </p> <p>I'd drop (not literally!) the turquoise and bright blue plates and use the navy. That would make a beautiful Thanksgiving table! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mismatched-fiestaware-for-thanksgiving#post-1179480 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 14:06:20 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 1179480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellocupcake: A giant benefit of living about an hour from the factory store! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mismatched-fiestaware-for-thanksgiving#post-1179465 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 14:03:33 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1179465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh i love it! so fun :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mismatched-fiestaware-for-thanksgiving#post-1179456 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 14:00:45 +0000 hellocupcake 1179456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't vote because "it's fine" doesn't mean "it's awesome/I'm jealous" (: I LOVE the different colors and think it will add to the celebration. Plus, thanksgiving foods are plain colors like turkey, pumpkin pie and mashed potatoes aren't fun colors. Those plates will make everything look even more awesome.

If you're worried about how your table will look, maybe avoid setting the plates out in advance? {Just set the silverware and glasses.}</p> <p>@Adira: I love that picking and choosing concept! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mismatched-fiestaware-for-thanksgiving#post-1179359 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:37:47 +0000 kiddosc 1179359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Would you seriously ever walk into a holiday event at someone's house and poo-poo the whole thing because they didn't use matching dishes? I think this is a case of over thinking the whole thing. The Fiestaware will work great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mismatched-fiestaware-for-thanksgiving#post-1179348 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:36:30 +0000 purrpletulips 1179348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think with all the colors of fall, the multi-colored dinnerware is just fine. But then I am perfectly happy to serve Thanksgiving on sturdy paper plates since there is very little clean-up involved :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mismatched-fiestaware-for-thanksgiving#post-1179347 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:36:29 +0000 Adira 1179347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are those all the colors you have? If so, for your six, I'd leave out the cobalt and the other blue. Use the rest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mismatched-fiestaware-for-thanksgiving#post-1179345 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:36:13 +0000 autumnlove 1179345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally fine!

We aren't the type of family who has a formal meal though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mismatched-fiestaware-for-thanksgiving#post-1179336 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:34:15 +0000 Adira 1179336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is what my parents do!!! Fiestaware all the time!!!</p> <p>Though my parents have sooooooooo many different colors that they can pick and choose to match the day. So for Thanksgiving, they'll use their reds, oranges, yellows, and browns! For Christmas it's reds and greens! For everything else it's "pick your favorite color"!</p> <p>ETA: I even used a mix of their Fiestaware plates and rented white plates for my wedding! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mismatched-fiestaware-for-thanksgiving#post-1179329 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 13:31:20 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 1179329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The title pretty much says it all. I don't own a fancy dishware set that matches. Well, I do have black plates that are everyday type of stuff, but those have fallen into major hag/not for company territory. The Fiestaware that I've collected is my nice set, and I'm usually fine with that, but would it be like a clown car puked on my Thanksgiving table setting? If it helps, I have Fiestaware serving dishes in multiple colors too.</p> <p>I'm not going to buy anything, I can borrow my mom's fancy china that sees daylight once, maybe twice a year. But that kind of feels like it'd be a PITA, especially with everything else that goes into prepping for a holiday meal. But if it would look really bad, I will try not to be too lazy.</p> <p>Picture of dinner plate collection is attached. I need 6 plates, so I can drop 2. </p> [attach=2093/13/mve649.448x600.dishes.jpg]
