We at Beneva love Thanksgiving for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is the flowers. As we gather around our tables to feast and give thanks, we’re welcomed by the scent of delicious food, the richly-textured table linens, the warm glow from candles. There’s chatter among family and friends, and the clink of china and silverware as we fill our plates with helping after helping of the season’s best comfort food.

And in the middle of all that, there’s the floral centerpiece, which, when done well, really captures the atmosphere.

So many beautiful, bountiful blooms are available in the Fall that it makes designing a centerpiece a treat. As you consider your Thanksgiving table, take note of how much room you’ll have in the center, and select an arrangement that will work. We love our Thanks A Plenty design for the Thanksgiving table in particular.

Cabbage flower, sunflowers, roses and lilies call to mind the garden and the fruits of the harvest, while seasonal greens and wheat add interest and contrast. Taper candles rise up from the arrangement to cast that perfect light. This piece is abundant with character and interest.

Give your guests something to focus on while at the table, and if it’s also a bit of a conversation starter, all the better. Keep the design low and long so your loved ones can freely see each other and talk. The right design can have so much impact that you won’t need a lot of other decor. Let us at Beneva fill your table with blooms this holiday.
