Hosting Thanksgiving? Let’s talk tables 🦃🍂

We’ve been playing with color, texture, and layers to create Thanksgiving tables worth gathering around.

Think of these designs as a starting point, not a set menu. Love a few standout pieces? Rent them à la carte. Want us to set the entire table? We do that too.

From individual rentals to full tablescape styling, consider one more thing checked off your hosting list.

Swipe through, find your favorite, and let’s talk Thanksgiving.

DM us or email onbrookside@gmail.com to get started.

A Gilmore Girls theme in the town that inspired the show? Say less. ☕️

It started with a family’s love for the show and their trust in us to bring the vision to life. Stars Hollow supplied the inspiration. We designed and handmade the details to create an unforgettable weekend for guests of all ages.

A dream event on your mind, but don’t know where to start? We should talk.

Somewhere between the first wedding and the last load of glassware, summer absolutely flew by.

We set tables for intimate dinners and 150 person celebrations. We styled weddings, packed up for our first city event, took on our first full weekend of on site styling, bought more inventory than we’d like to admit, and washed, rewashed, and sanitized while listening to a lot of audiobooks.

There were broken glasses, last-minute pivots, very full cars, very late nights, and a whole lot of “wait…we actually get to do this?”

Our first real summer of On Brookside was bigger, busier, and more fun than we could have imagined.

And somehow, we’re just getting started.

More tables, more designs, more celebrations — coming this fall 🤎

Summer is busy, and there is always something to celebrate. The good news is hosting doesn’t have to be elaborate or expensive to feel special.

For your next summer gathering, pick up a simple cake from your local supermarket, swing by a farm stand and grab some in season fruit, and dress it up at home.

Easy, festive, and works all season long 🍓🫐🎂

There are moments as parents that you know your child will never forget, and this was one of them.

We took Quint to see Benson Boone in NYC because music isn’t just something he enjoys, it’s the dream that’s been living in his heart for as long as we can remember. He celebrated his birthday June 25th with a Grammy themed party, because one day he hopes to stand on that stage as an artist himself. His greatest wish is to create music that makes people feel seen, brings joy and leaves the world a little brighter.

The concert was meaningful because it came just before surgery. We wanted to give him something unforgettable to look forward to and watching him sing every word with thousands of other fans is a memory he’ll hold onto forever.

He even has a little message for Benson in this video. If it somehow finds its way to you, Benson, thank you for inspiring kids like Q to dream big, work hard and believe anything is possible. Meeting you one day would mean the world to him.

Quint has been stealing our hearts for years - we have a feeling it won’t be long before he steals yours too ❤️🎤✨ @bensonboonenation

A little milestone worth celebrating - On Brookside’s very first New York City table.

From Connecticut to the West Village, seeing our tabletop collection bring this rooftop birthday celebration to life is an exciting moment for us. One of our favorite parts of what we do is seeing clients blend pieces from across our collections to create a look that is distinctly their own. We’ll help you mix and match items to create your perfect table, then provide a custom tabletop schematic so you can confidently visualize every detail.

Cheers to gathering and to many more memorable tables in the city.
