Are you thinking about a centerpiece for your Thanksgiving table? Do you have a family favorite you use every year? Would you like some ideas for a different centerpiece this year?
Decide how much time and money you want to spend on your centerpiece and then make your choice.
Give me delux.
Order a floral arrangement. This one is from FTD.com, called Bright Autumn™ priced at $60.99 on their website.
Better Homes and Gardens has a list of 18 centerpiece ideas including Harvest Candle Rings:
Purchase or make small grapevine rings to use as a base, or bend a piece of coat hanger into a circle. Next, wire on small stems of berries, leaves, and flowers using thin wire wound tightly around the base. Use fresh flowers for a one-use decoration. Or find pretty silk blooms for a longer-lasting design.
Martha Stewart Living suggests using a paint pen to decorate clear glasses with a cross-stitch pattern and use them as candleholders.
Would you like to be inspired to put together a four-tiered, spectacular arrangement using three cake stands, vase, Christmas tree topper, Christmas birds, acorns, leaves, glass rocks and jewels, mini beaded pumpkins, a fairy, pine cone ornaments, faux grapes, and a lot of talent.

I like the middle ground.
Take a stroll through the produce department of your local grocery. Look for small size gourds, squash, and pumpkins. Back at home, arrange them in your own bowl, and add a few pinecones and ribbon bows in the colors of your dining room.
Here is some advice from Country Home magazine:
Centerpiece
Think of this table topper as a free-form cornucopia. Matthew arranged pillar candles on an antique tole-painted tray, then filled in the spaces with apples in assorted sizes and shades of gold and red; grapes; fresh variegated pittosporum, along with its vibrant orange berries; and dried white tallow berries. Total assembly time: about 5 minutes. Keep it on the table until the turkey is served. The tray is easily moved as needed.
Tie leaves with thread, yarn, or fishing line.
I prefer easy and reasonable.
Use what you already have to keep things simple and inexpensive.
- Display greenery from your yard in a simple vase.
- Fill a bowl with pinecones you have picked up or purchased.
- Hang leaves from the chandelier or put them in a small vase. These leaves were collected on walks in the neighborhood and then "ironed" between two sheets of waxed paper.
