Get Creative with Color.
Thanksgiving meals are full of color – incorporate them in your centerpiece. Pull colors from your place settings (napkins, table cloth, and china). Crimson, deep orange, fiery red, evergreen, rich brown and bright yellow are festive choices that have the potential to make stunning combinations. And all these colors are right outside your front door – pull pieces for your Thanksgiving arrangement from the turning leaves, pinecones, sprigs of evergreen and wheat, and mini pumpkins add the perfect festive, colorful touch to your Thanksgiving floral centerpiece.
Festive Flowers.
Hearty flower choices are a must for Thanksgiving centerpieces. Chrysanthemums, Cymbidium, Anthurium, Pincushion Protea, Dahlias, Sunflowers, Hydrangeas and Tulips all make great choices and are not too fragrant, which can compete with the aroma of your meal.
Mix and Match.
When putting together a Thanksgiving centerpiece, follow these fool-proof rules:
-
Remember to keep the centerpiece height low, as you do not want to obstruct the view of your guests around the table
-
Start with the bigger floral pieces – the “meat” of the arrangement – and work your way out from the center, adding in your more delicate accents like smaller flowers, then your decorative accents like berries, sprigs of wheat, leaves or evergreen
-
Have fun with it – play with textures and color, add in unconventional elements like fruit or vegetables, or add glitter, beads or strings of lights to really make your Thanksgiving centerpiece pop
-
Finish your Thanksgiving floral centerpiece with pillared candles – their soft glow will really set the colors of your arrangement ablaze, creating a vivid feast for the eyes while you feast on your Thanksgiving meal
Fall is a picturesque time of year, bursting at the seams with a dramatic, colorful landscape. Embrace the season in your fall wedding flowers and you will be sure to have a wedding day as beautiful as the season.
