Fall Flowers for Thanksgiving: 4 Unique Ways to Style Your Table

Kailee Palileo 27 Jul 2023

As you decorate your front porch with pumpkins, and hang beautiful fall garlands from your mantle and stairway for Thanksgiving, there's one place in your house that you can't forget to decorate... your dining room table! This time of year is all about gathering with loved ones and eating yummy food, which means your Thanksgiving table will be at the center of all the festivities. Whether you're hosting a Friendsgiving, work party, family gathering, date night, or all of the above this season, you can leave your table looking its absolute best with fresh fall flowers.

No two tablescapes are the same - so here are four unique styles to consider for your Thanksgiving gathering:

1.) Create Autumn Sunshine with Splashes of Orange

Bring some sunshine to your fall tablescape by adding splashes of orange or yellow. Whether it's a spiced punch orange and pinecone wreath, or an arrangement of yellow and orange Thanksgiving flowers, your guests will appreciate the festive touch that these hues bring. Keep a classic fall palette with greenery, or sprinkle in some peach flowers to add a summer twist. Yellow, pink, or red linens would look stunning with this style, or keep it simple with white accents. Add some fruit or citrus to your decor to keep things fresh and cheerful, and light a sweet-scented candle to bring it all together! This style can be used for either a modern, minimalist feel or a bold and cheerful statement.

2.) Be Bold with Bright Friendsgiving Flowers

Celebrate with friends this season by hosting a colorful Friendsgiving event. This look is all about COLOR. Try combining classic fall colors like red and orange with other creative hues such as peach, blue, or pink, or go for any color palette that feels right for you and your friends. This style can be easily adapted to Thanksgiving events with family or coworkers as well. A colorful tablescape will create joy and energy in your gathering space. Not to mention, using a unique fall color palette will have your guests talking about your tablescape for months to come. Pull off this style with classic white linens and simple dishes, or go all-out with your bright theme and incorporate colorful glasses, napkins, and vases in your decor.

3.) Welcome Guests with Warm and Cozy Colors

Decorate your Thanksgiving table with warm tones to make your guests feel at home. Fall decor is often marked by bronze and burgundy flowers, and it's no wonder why. These shades remind us of a cozy night by the fireplace or a burning autumn sunset and evoke feelings of both comfort and passion. Mix red, orange, and white together on your tablescape to achieve deep contrast, and to create a welcoming environment for your loved ones to gather. This look pairs great with sultry velvet or leather seating, elegant candlesticks, and some red or white linens. For the perfect final touch, add some textured greenery like seeded eucalyptus or leather leaf.

4.) Embrace Sunflowers for a Rustic Fall Flower Tablescape

Sunflowers are a classic fall flower and are great for achieving an effortless, rustic look. Add some pumpkins and fall greenery to your table with a sunflower arrangement and - ta-da! - you'll have a classic fall tablescape to show off at your Thanksgiving gathering. This style is great for decorating wooden farmhouse tables, and pairs well with simple dinnerware or vintage dishes. For an extra rustic feel, try using woven placemats, unique candle holders, or pinecone accents. If you aren't going for a rustic style, sunflower arrangements can be used to create a number of other aesthetics too. Try adding gold accents for a luxurious feel, or go for an all-white look so your bright sunflowers pop against a minimalist backdrop.
