5 Thanksgiving Centerpiece Ideas Using Fall Flowers

Thanksgiving tables are always bedecked with the most gorgeous and scrumptious food, so sometimes it's a little difficult to come up with a centerpiece that measures up to the decadence. Incorporating fall flowers into your centerpiece is a great way to create a rustic and seasonal look that you'll love showing off to your family and friends.

Here are five ideas for making an amazing tabletop Thanksgiving centerpiece using fall flowers:

A Rustic Box

  For a centerpiece that nobody will have seen before, repurpose a vintage-looking wooden box or a rustic window planter as table decor. Fill the box with short vases of varying flowers, surrounded by pine cones and acorns. For a country-looking fall arrangement, try using bright aster and helenium interspersed with sprigs of goldenrod and colorful leaves. If you don't have a box, making one is easy, or you can use a pretty basket instead!

A Different Container

  Your flowers don't have to be arranged in a vase - put them in a pretty pitcher or a ceramic serving bowl for a centerpiece that fits in perfectly with the beautiful food on the table. Pick a pitcher or bowl in fall colors, and fill it with brightly colored mums, roses and sprays of Russian sage.

Pretty Pumpkins

  Pumpkins and other gourds are the perfect autumn decorations because they're both pretty and seasonal. You can use miniature pumpkins in your centerpieces in many ways - scatter them across the table or even hollow one out and use it as a vase. A large hollow pumpkin full of sunflowers would make a show-stopping centerpiece, and guests will love the creativity.

A Flowery Cornucopia

  Traditional cornucopias are full of fruits, vegetables and gourds to signify prosperity, but the inclusion of fall flowers will make any cornucopia pop that much more. Buy or make a cornucopia and fill it with various flowers and plants, like stalks of wheat, perennial sunflowers, crocuses and more, to make it look like you've just gone flower picking in the meadow.


A Kid-Friendly Centerpiece

  For a kid-friendly centerpiece, incorporate a cute character into your flower arrangement. Make a turkey using a large pinecone by fanning colorful leaves in the shape of tail feathers around the wider end of the cone and attaching them with glue. Then fashion a head and neck out of construction paper, glue them on the other side of the cone, and place the turkey in a bowl of pinecones, acorns and mums.
