Plan Your Perfect Centerpiece

A little planning goes a long way in creating a stress-free and beautiful arrangement. Thanksgiving is a busy time, so thinking ahead ensures you get the exact flowers you want without any last-minute scrambling.

First, consider your color scheme. Autumn offers a rich palette to draw from. Think warm tones like bronze, copper, and dark orange, or classic shades of red and yellow. Choosing your colors will help guide your flower selection and create a cohesive look for your table. Looking for inspiration to bring your centerpiece vision to life? Check out our Fall Classics Collection, featuring everything you need to create stunning, seasonal arrangements.

Once you have a vision, it's a good idea to order your flowers in advance. This guarantees freshness and gives you plenty of time to prepare for your DIY project.

Choosing Your Fall Flowers

The beauty of a fall centerpiece comes from its rich textures and warm colors. At FiftyFlowers, our Fall Classics collection is filled with gorgeous seasonal blooms perfect for your Thanksgiving table.

Here are a few of our favorites that are easy to work with and look absolutely stunning:

• Sunflowers: The quintessential fall flower, sunflowers bring a cheerful burst of yellow to any arrangement.

• Mums & Spider Mums: With their full, lush petals, mums add wonderful texture and volume. Look for them in shades of bronze and deep yellow.

• Daisies & Poms: These charming flowers are great for filling out your centerpiece with pops of color, available in oranges, yellows, and reds.

• Gerberas: Known for their large, happy faces, gerbera daisies make a bold statement in any arrangement.

• Alstroemeria (Peruvian Lilies): These delicate flowers add a touch of elegance and come in beautiful multi-tonal varieties.

• Marigolds: Their vibrant orange and yellow hues and ruffled petals are the essence of autumn.

Simple DIY Centerpiece Ideas

Creating your own centerpiece doesn't have to be complicated! One of the most popular and charming ideas for a Thanksgiving table is a pumpkin vase. It’s a fun, seasonal project that makes a huge impact.

You can easily turn a pumpkin into a vase by hollowing it out and placing a liner with floral foam inside. Then, simply arrange your flowers. Start with a base of greenery, add your larger focal flowers like mums or sunflowers, and fill in the gaps with smaller blooms like daisies and alstroemeria. For a complete guide, check out our DIY Pumpkin Centerpiece tutorial! It walks you through every step, making the process simple and enjoyable.

Creating a Fall Tablescape

If a pumpkin vase isn’t quite your style, don’t worry—you can still create a stunning tablescape using what you already have! Gather vases of varying shapes and sizes to add depth and character. Fill them with seasonal blooms or dried flowers for an effortlessly chic look. To tie everything together, place taller candles between the vases for a warm, romantic glow. Sprinkle a few fall leaves and assorted pumpkins throughout the table to bring in those cozy, autumn vibes. This approach is perfect for mixing and matching items while keeping your decor unique and budget-friendly!
