How Thanksgiving Floral Arrangements Set the Mood for Your Holiday Feast

Thanksgiving is a time for family and friends to gather and celebrate. What better way to set the mood for your holiday feast than with a beautiful floral arrangement – or several? Whether you’re celebrating Thanksgiving in cold temperatures with snow on the ground or like I am, with temperatures in the 70s and palm trees, Thanksgiving flor arrangements set the mood for your holiday feast. 

Thanksgiving floral arrangements can be simple or elaborate, depending on your personal style and budget. But no matter what size or style you choose, a floral arrangement can add a touch of elegance and warmth to your Thanksgiving table.

Here are a few tips for choosing and arranging the perfect Thanksgiving floral arrangement:

  • Choose flowers in classic autumn colors.
    Orange, red, yellow and brown are all classic Thanksgiving colors. Look for flowers such as roses, lilies, sunflowers and mums in these shades.

Tip: Sunflowers aren’t a traditional autumn flower, but their sunny color makes them perfect for your Thanksgiving celebration! https://www.instagram.com/p/CpBCYz6DLe2/ 

  • Incorporate fall foliage into your arrangement.
    Fall leaves, branches, nuts and berries can add a touch of nature to your floral arrangement. You can find fall foliage at your local florist or even in your own backyard.

Carved-out pumpkins make a stunning container for your floral arrangement and give something for everyone to enjoy! You can mix and match different types of flowers and succulents with different fruit and vegetable containers if have a long table or have multiple tables! 

  • Use candles to create a warm glow.
    Candles are a great way to add ambiance to your Thanksgiving table. Place pillar candles or votive candles around your floral arrangement for a soft and romantic glow.

Tip: Unscented candles provide a festive atmosphere but don’t compete with the intoxicating odors of a traditional Thanksgiving feast!  

  • Keep your arrangement low.
    You don’t want your floral arrangement to be too tall, or it will block your guests’ view of each other.

Once you have chosen your flowers and foliage, it’s time to start arranging. Here are a few tips on how to arrange your flowers:

  • Start with a base. A base will help to anchor your arrangement and keep it from tipping over. You can use a vase, basket or even a bowl as a base.

    Tip: A cornucopia, also called a horn of plenty, is a traditional Thanksgiving container that dazzles when overflowing with produce, flowers or nuts. 
  • Add your flowers and foliage next. Start by adding the largest flowers or branches to your arrangement. Then, add smaller flowers and foliage around the larger pieces.
  • Fill in any gaps with greenery. Greenery is a great way to fill in any gaps in your arrangement and make it look more polished.
  • Finish with a finishing touch. Once you are happy with your arrangement, add a finishing touch such as a ribbon, bow or ornament.

Here are a few additional tips for using Thanksgiving floral arrangements to set the mood for your holiday feast:

  • Place a floral arrangement in the center of your Thanksgiving table. This will be the focal point of your table and will help to set the tone for your meal.
  • Use multiple floral arrangements throughout your dining room. This will create a cohesive and inviting look.
  • Place floral arrangements on your mantel, buffet table and side tables. This will help to spread the holiday cheer throughout your home.
  • Use floral arrangements to decorate your front door and porch. This will welcome your guests and let them know that they are in for a special treat.

No matter your flower choices and where you display them, Thanksgiving floral arrangements are a great way to add a touch of elegance and warmth to your holiday celebration.
