Are you hosting Thanksgiving this year? Or maybe you’re gathering with family and friends at their home? Whether you are headed over the river and through the woods, or content to open your home to everyone else, it’s a great time to get the creative juices flowing and design a killer table centerpiece!

Beautiful centerpieces can really set the tone for your holiday meal. And in many homes, Thanksgiving is a time not only for gathering on a Thursday afternoon, but often hosting neighbors and friends on Thanksgiving Eve, or sharing your home all weekend long with relatives who have traveled a long distance for the holiday. You may sit down for multiple meals, coffee, turkey sandwiches etc. at your Thanksgiving table.

Maybe you are traveling to someone else’s home this Thanksgiving; of course you want to bring something, wine, a side dish, dessert. Why not offer to bring a table centerpiece? It would make for one thing your host doesn’t have to worry about.

Your table décor can be large or small depending on the table size and amount of people being served. And the opportunities are endless. Flowers, greens, pumpkins, gourds, evergreen boughs, pine cones, you name it, there is a way to create a centerpiece from it.
