Thanksgiving is almost here! It’s a wonderful time to gather with family and friends, enjoy some delicious food, and celebrate all that we’re thankful for.
While the food takes center stage at most Thanksgiving meals, your table decor can make a statement, too. Here are some things to consider for a Thanksgiving centerpiece.
Fresh or artificial flowers
Alstroemeria, commonly called the Peruvian lily, is a beautiful small flower than can be used to add color and fullness to any bouquet. There are more than 50 varieties of this beautiful flower that originated in South America. It’s sometimes called the parrot lily as well.
Dish gardens are a great low-maintenance and lasting gift option! They work well in office or home settings, and they can be given for birthdays, anniversaries, or even as sympathy. Dish gardens have been around for a long time, but they’ve certainly increased in popularity in recent years.
Halloween is just around the corner! While it’s not quite the floral holiday of Valentine’s Day or Christmas, you can still have some festive fun with flowers for Halloween, too!
Here are a few options to consider for Halloween floral ideas.
Orange flowers
Chrysanthemums, commonly called mums, are the queen of fall flowers, and they come in many varieties and colors.
Mums can be traced back to the 15th century B.C. in China. They made their way to Japan in the 8th century A.D., where the emperor adopted a single chrysanthemum as the crest and official seal. It’s still a highly revered flower throughout Asia today.
