Thanksgiving Decorating Ideas

Thanksgiving will be here in a few weeks, so it's good to start planning your decor for that special family gathering.

Here, in San Diego, the weather is starting to change but we are still fortunate to have sunny days even with the cooler temperatures. The weather can make it possible to even consider hosting a Thanksgiving meal on a patio or deck outdoors. Our San Diego flower shop offers a wide range of floral designs for this year's Thanksgiving celebration. Here are some of their ideas for how you can decorate your home, table, and space for Thanksgiving.
