Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.
~W.T. Purkiser
Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence. ~Erma Bombeck
Thanksgiving Holiday Tablescapes
Just want to share a couple ideas to help get you inspired and give you a few ideas to jazz up your Holiday table:
My florist friend Valerie from Floral Arranging 101, suggested to buy two or three mixed bouquets (all the same) at the grocery store. Divide up the flowers by color and type and then color block (bunching like with like colors) an oasis wreath. Color blocking flowers add more impact. Then add small pumpkins on skewers, pods, millet sprays, etc. Then place candles in the middle. This looks great on a round table.
For a rectangular table, Val suggests using three to five short vases and color block (bunching like with like colors) them down the center of the table. No taller than 10 inches, so your guests can converse over them. Or you can use flameless wax candles. Great idea. They are made of vanilla scented wax and run on batteries. You can check it out here. If you would like to read the whole article and see more pictures, click here.
