18 Ways to Dress Up Your Thanksgiving Flower Arrangements
Another thing to be thankful for!
A floral arrangement is one of the easiest ways to add texture and interest to your dining table this Thanksgiving. In short, florals can make the perfect statement centerpiece as they can add pops of color and set the mood for dinner. And the thing is, you don't even have to know how to artfully arrange. It's possible to create stunning Thanksgiving flower arrangements by combining blooms with fresh items from your backyard (think leaves, pine cones, or other decorative pieces from nature).
To get those creative juices flowing, you'll find festive, flower-filled inspiration ahead. Furthermore, we're making the case for thinking outside the usual autumn oranges, too. Consider subtle colors that offer a soothing neutral palette, soft pastel shades, or vibrant reds ready to elevate your setup. Either way, it's time to get inspired and excited for the Thanksgiving holiday to come!
Opt for deep red and maroon florals punctuated by greenery and some seasonal fruits, like green apples or pomegranates. Then, introduce contrast with settings that nod coastal with wicker and blue-and-white.

Place neutral-colored blooms in a faux pumpkin vase, and it instantly becomes a stunning Thanksgiving centerpiece.
Williams Sonoma Scatter Your Stems
Set a more laidback mood by scattering stemmed florals across a center runner instead of bringing the drama with height in a tall vase. A vibrant orange runner is a perfect backdrop for a fall Thanksgiving, too.
Give a casual table setting some glamour with galvanized buckets overflowing with mums, anemones, and other flowers in understated colors. The contrast with the copper mugs and flatware is stunning!
Add a little high-shine glamour to your tabletop Thanksgiving flowers by painting your fruits gold and scattering them around. Match them to metallic flatware for a cohesive whole.
Use an interesting container, such as this rustic bowl, filled with pretty fresh fruit nestled on a bed of moss. Then tuck in a few flowers here and there. Instant charm!
