Thanksgiving is a special day when you and your whole family have fun and food together. Since it comes once in a year, present your Thanksgiving table not just with turkey and candles but in a way that grabs your family’s attention and win you praise too. Here are four really fresh ideas for Thanksgiving Centerpieces.

Centerpiece with Flowers: Flowers attract everyone with their beauty and fragrance. Pick rich fall-colored flowers like red, yellow and orange or autumn-colored ones like yellow and burgundy. If you like Calla lilies and hydrangeas, they offer a great variety of colors as well as textures during fall. Instead of using store-bought flower vase, create your own. You can hollow a pumpkin and fill it with fresh flowers or use an ice bucket for a unique display. You can also keep flower petals in water and put decorative candles in it. Flowers in dim candle light will make the ambience of your Thanksgiving table simply perfect.

Tree branches: A bunch of tree branches covered with autumn leaves can also be an elegant decoration for the Thanksgiving table. Pick a floral-foam and insert the base of the branch in it and cover it with a cloth napkin or a drawstring bag. You can also use a few pine tree branches and decorate them under and around your centerpiece.

Pumpkins: Hollow a few small pumpkins and fill dried flowers and leaves in them. Keep them in a line in a tray and add some tea-lights. You can also keep fresh flowers or dry fruits, chips, cookies in the hollow pumpkins. Use odorless candles only for light otherwise its scents may overpower your food. Buy a large pumpkin or several small pumpkins and arrange fall-leaves around the pumpkin’s base.

Candles: Different sizes of candles are common on Thanksgiving tables. A pillar candle inserted into a pumpkin will be a different thought altogether. Use berries, pinecones and mosses around the hole and form a unique, attractive decorative ring.
