The Perfect Setting: Thanksgiving Flower Arrangements

Create a sense of amazing abundance with a dramatic display of food and flowers!

A low, lush Thanksgiving centerpiece for the dining table or a tall, elegant Thanksgiving flower arrangement for the buffet will impress your friends and family and add welcoming warmth to your table.

If your table is too full of delectable platters of turkey and sweet potatoes, here are some great ways to add autumn accents without taking up too much space:

Easy Thanksgiving Centerpiece Ideas

• Layer autumn leaves down the center of your table to create a colorful and organic table runner.
• Hollow out mini gourds and pumpkins and use as bud vases for autumn-toned blossoms.
• Fill clear glass vases with water and add small berries like cranberries or holly berries and float single blossoms or floating candles.
• Accent platters and buffets with fruits that highlight the colors of the season and celebrate the bounty of the harvest– vibrant clementines, petite lady apples, clusters of grapes
• Place dried Indian Corn at each place setting and at strategic points along the table.
