This Thanksgiving don’t let the turkey receive all the attention on the dining room table. Eric Buterbaugh, Chief Floral Designer for The Bouqs, has provided some great ideas and tips for gorgeous Thanksgiving centerpieces that will definitely your guests.

 

When it comes to fall centerpieces, Buterbaugh does not believe they have to be flashy to be beautiful. He loves the florals to look natural and simply placed on the table. He suggests having groupings of single ingredient arrangements that can all be used together for an amazing visual presentation. Single ingredient grouping of orange roses, yellow tulips, peach amaryllis, and plum leaves are one of his favorite combinations. The deep mix of colors truly embodies the fall season and will not go unnoticed. Not only are these flowers gorgeous, but also they are in season and will be easy to find for the holiday.

 

There will be plenty of family gathered around the table during the holidays, so it is important that your centerpieces are low and do not obstruct anyone’s views. One of Buterbaugh’s favorite choices is floating florals in water. He suggests a mixture of dark purple and orange dahlias, autumn leaves, and roses for the ultimate fall centerpiece. You will need to cut the stem from the flower’s head and place them in different sized gold bowls, mixed with the autumn leaves. He then suggests scattering the remaining leaves onto the table and placing a few pumpkins here and there to complete the look. This festive yet stylish centerpiece will leave your guests in awe.

Thanks to Buterbaugh, you are not required to spend an arm and a leg to have a stylish holiday table. He recommends incorporating mini pumpkins and gourds into your floral arrangements. When they are placed throughout the table with other colorful florals, they create an elegant yet earthy feel. The mini pumpkins and gourds can be purchased from your local grocery store and will not break the bank.
