Thanksgiving is a time of giving thanks, surrounding yourself with loved ones, and indulging in the abundance of the savory turkey, creamy mashed potatoes, and the pool of gravy. However, if you are hosting the holiday dinner this year, you may be wondering, or perhaps even stressing, about how to prepare the perfect Thanksgiving table to go with your perfect meal. It turns out that this part of your to-do list can be a fun and easy way for you to impress your guests with your newly discovered creative side.
Many may agree that the perfect Thanksgiving centerpiece begins with the perfect floral arrangement. This Thanksgiving, head over to Posie Peddler on West Avenue, a family-owned and operated flower market with the ideal seasonal arrangement for any table. Posie Peddler prides itself in its wide variety of flowers, as well as its creative designers who are eager to help you find exactly what you are looking for. Make Posie Peddler your first stop in your table decorating to find your floral arrangement and your creative inspiration.
Now for the fun part of creating your centerpiece, or for those who may not be too in touch with their creative side as others, perhaps the scary part of creating your centerpiece. Fear not, there are a variety of ways to perfect your Thanksgiving table décor with even just the untouched contents of your house. You could compliment your festive floral arrangement perhaps with homemade candle centerpieces. One option is to simply fill a vase with green lentils, red beans, and corn kernels and complete the look with a candle on top. This candle centerpiece is quite simple and puts the forgotten contents of your kitchen cabinet to good use. If you find your kitchen to be void of anything that will not be crucial in your Thanksgiving cooking marathon, simply collect a few mason jars and place candles in them. Complete the look by heading over to your nearest Michaels and purchase floral décor. This will give your table the final festive finishing touches, while requiring little effort or stress.
Plans on having a kids’ table at your dinner? This is a great opportunity to encourage your child’s involvement with this year’s dinner. Take a break from the chaotic cooking and make your table decorating more of a family affair with very little extra work. During your next trip to the grocery store, pick up a few miniature pumpkins. While you are busy around the house, your children will be preoccupied for quite a while decorating the miniature pumpkins with markers or paint. Display their work of art in the center of the kid’s table this year to keep them even more enthusiastic knowing they contributed to the festivities.
Whether you consider yourself an arts and crafts enthusiast or admit to not having an ounce of creativity in you, you will find that creating your perfect Thanksgiving table can be a wonderful stress relief and a great way to get into the holiday spirit.
