With Thanksgiving around the corner, many of us are scrambling to secure the last minute details. One element that is often overlooked during this process is the Thanksgiving table. As the place where family gathers, we believe the table is equally as important as the meal! So, you have options. You can either call your favorite florist in Salisbury, MA, Flowers by Marianne, or you can roll up your sleeves and get creative. Below are a few of our favorite DIY Thanksgiving centerpieces.
Pumpkin floral arrangements
If you have any sugar, or smaller sized pumpkins, hanging around from Halloween, this is the perfect way to put them to use. By hollowing out the pumpkin and inserting floral foam into the cavity, you’ll have the perfect holder for a beautiful floral arrangement.
Choose an array of flowers that will provide your guests with visual interest as they sit for dinner. Blooms of different texture and length, such as yellow button flowers and oversized daises, can make the perfect combination. Fillers are equally important in creating interest. Regardless of what you choose, remember to design your arrangement as a 360° piece.
Glass vase arrangement
If time is of the essence and hollowing pumpkins won’t make the schedule, traditional vase arrangements are always a fallback! However, add unexpected elements by dropping items into the vase that can withstand water immersion. A trip to your local craft store can provide you with several options such as pumpkins, leaves, or even colored glass beads.
Use food
Although Thanksgiving is a time for reflection and thanks, it’s also a day of good food. Why not incorporate that food into your décor? Dried corn cobs are the perfect solution when it comes to the table centerpiece. Create your floral arrangement in any vase then surround the vase with the corn. Choose corn that has a variety of colors and stand them upright around the vase. Finish the arrangement by holding the corn in place with string. Viola!
Succulent displays
Another time-sensitive solution comes from the use of any succulent plants you may already have around your home. However, you’ll want to leave the prickly ones aside. By changing out vases to festive colors and patterns, the light greens of these plants combined with red and orange candles create a simple, yet elegant table display.
