How Do You Make A Thanksgiving Flower Arrangement?
In the true Thanksgiving fashion, you should stick to the autumn colors of reds, corals, oranges, yellows and browns. These make beautiful and rich bouquets that will ad a pop of color that still captures the warmth of the holiday season. Here are a handful of types of flowers that will be fantastic to use on the centerpiece of your table:
- Yellow, coral, and red roses: Roses always add a touch of elegance to a table scape. You can either mix them with some Baby’s Breath, some tall leaves, or some smaller roses of similar colors.
- Red, yellow and orange lilies: Lilies are beautiful flowers that come in the perfect colors and shapes for the Thanksgiving season. They are shaped like leaves and emulate the transformation into autumn.
- Mums and oak leaves: These are very festive and actually look similar to pine cones. They represent a bountiful harvest and would look beautiful amidst your festive foods.
Make sure to put the heavier flowers around the edges or they will weigh down the entire bouquet. Put them in a beautiful glass vase and set them in the middle of your table.
Centerpieces are very easy to create. They can decorate a normal everyday table as well as a holiday table. Try making this incredible center piece and enjoy the praise that your family will heap upon you. It is easy and relatively inexpensive to assemble. Buy a squash. Carefully cut it open and take out all the seeds and stem from the middle. Use a damp cloth and wash the squash. Let it dry before moving on to the next step. Put enough soil into the squash so that is just about full. Leave room so that the dirt does not overflow from the squash when you put in the flowers and water. Choose flowers that are varied in color. Be sure to arrange it so that the darker colors are closest to the edge of the squash and move inward with lighter colors. Be careful to water the plant everyday. Place the arrangement in the center of the table and set up the rest of your table for the Thanksgiving dinner. Sit back and enjoy the beauty of your hard work.
