Simple Thanksgiving Centerpiece.
I love to look at all the gorgeous Holiday tables capes but sometimes they make me want to never host anyone ever. So overwhelming! But you don't have to make an elaborate table to make your Thanksgiving table feel thoughtful, just grab a couple bunches flowers from your grocery store + arrange them into a simple but elegant arrangement.
Start with inexpensive Garden bunches. I like to get mine at Trader Joe's. They have really affordable and fresh florals for only a couple dollars. I used 6 bunches which cost me about $25 total.
I used 2 varieties of eucalyptus, and another green filler not sure what it's called.
Mums.
Spray Roses.
Berries.
My biggest tip for arranging florals so you can put them in unique vessels like I did here, in this woven jute basket, is to get inexpensive Dollar Store glass vases.
I make my arrangement inside of the inexpensive vase and then set it inside of whatever special vessel I want to use. This helps with clean up but also gives you a lot of flexibility of cool things to put your flowers into.
Ideally I like to completely hide the glass vases but in this case the basket that I had on end (and had super set my mind to using) wasn't quite tall enough. I do think that they were barely noticeable once the flowers were in the vases.
Here is a quick video of me arranging the flowers. I love to create relaxed arrangements that look like you gathered them from your garden and tossed them into a vase.
Once you are done arranging you can totally just plop it down on your table or kitchen island and call it a day, or if you want to get even fancier... you can add some simple candlesticks to it to bring it up a level.
