Thanksgiving Floral Decorating Ideas

As one of our favorite holidays, Thanksgiving is a time for entertaining, which means lots of decorating the house to get in the spirit. And, when it comes to decorating and the rich and robust colors of fall, flowers and greenery hold center court. We have put together some Thanksgiving floral decorating ideas that you can incorporate in your home and for your Thanksgiving feast table (and, for some, your Thanksgivvukah table!). Del Mar Sunset Thanksgiving Centerpieces Thanksgiving centerpieces come in all styles and arrangements, including your traditional cornucopia arrangement in a wicker basket shaped as the horn of plenty or a floral centerpiece with candles. However, there are other decorations you can consider. For example, why not ask the floral design team at Allen’s Flowers and Plants to design a custom Thanksgiving centerpiece for you that is arranged within a treasured family vase or heirloom bowl? This personalizes it and provides a symbol of the family coming together to share their appreciation and give thanks for what they all have. Also consider some unique items like stalks of wheat or dried flowers and leaves arranged together in a tin container or vase. You could also order a topiary from Allen’s Flowers and Plants to create a dramatic and elegant Thanksgiving centerpiece statement. Then, there are the menurkeys, which combine the menorah and Thanksgiving symbols into one Thanksgivvukah centerpiece. Thanksgiving Table Flowers Thanksgiving flowers do not have to just grace the center of the table. You can create individual flower arrangements at each place setting. You might place a long stem rose on each plate as a welcome, tucking it into the folded fabric napkin. Or, you could float flowers in wine glasses to create a sophisticated touch for [...]

Set the Thanksgiving Holiday Table with Beautiful Thanksgiving Flowers

Thanksgiving is about a special time and creating memories with those we love. Many of us will be having friends and family over for a grand feast and festivities. Like the dinner that you will be slaving away on in the kitchen, chances are you want everything to be perfect. You hope everyone enjoys themselves and the food, so what better way to lighten the mood but with beautiful floral decorations at and around the dinner table. At Allen’s Flowers and Plants, we couldn’t think of a better thing ourselves. Setting a Beautiful Table for the Feast Impress your guests even before the bird is brought out for carving. At Allen’s Flowers and Plants, we have just the means to help you do that this fine Thanksgiving Day. With our countless number of Thanksgiving-themed floral centerpieces and even more floral arrangements and bouquets all in the flavor of autumn, all of these themed pieces of floral art are perfect to decorate your home for the holiday.

There are many great ways to add a bit of flair to the feast and let’s all just face the fact that not every table has room for a centerpiece with so much great food present. We offer many autumn-themed floral bouquets, which at first may seem silly if you aren’t taking a lady friend out, but take apart the bouquet and what do you have? You have flowers with the stem and [...]
