Often, Thanksgiving involves going over to someone else’s home for the afternoon. In some cases, you may be asked to bring an appetizer or bottle of wine. But if the host doesn’t specify or doesn’t need the extra food, a flower arrangement is an excellent way to show your appreciation and add to the decor.

Why Is a Flower Arrangement a Good Idea?

If someone is taking the time to make an entire meal for you, you don’t want to show up empty-handed. Flowers are a thoughtful way to show your gratitude without trying to guess what extra side dish your host might need. Not only will the flower arrangement look beautiful at the center of the table, but the host can also enjoy it after Thanksgiving is over.

Which Flowers Should You Choose?

Don’t choose aromatic flowers, like roses, because they can overpower the smell of the food. Instead, choose arrangements with cinnamon sticks and dried accents. These aromas will complement the food while looking beautiful too. Stick to greens, oranges, and reds for the full fall effect.

How Do You Arrange Them? 

Always bring arrangements already in a vase to save the host the hassle of unwrapping the flowers, cutting the stems, and finding a container. Plus, they can keep the vase afterward. For full, colorful bundles, choose a clear or neutral vase. For more festive flower arrangements, use a pumpkin or stone vase.
