A Light & Warm Foraged Thanksgiving Centerpiece

Yesterday I shared this year’s Thanksgiving tablescape, have you gotten a chance to check it out? The more I share photos the more I love it. It’s easily become one of my favorite holiday stylings. The look is organic and soft with lots of light colors and touches of gold. Pretty cream roses, deeply hued leaves, and delicate sage – the makings of a beautiful Thanksgiving centerpiece…Since the focus of this tablescape was gratitude, the centerpiece needed to evoke that comforting Thanksgiving feeling with warm fall hues. Aside from the pretty cream roses, I wanted to forage my garden for the other florals. I love using herbs in fall arrangements, like sage which adds such a soft and delicate touch against deep purple leaves and copper dried satiable and daisies. You’ll also find a few dried oregano stems along with fragnant fresh lemon thyme stems. And some rose leave stems that had dried into the loveliest deep olive green shade.

I wanted the florals to feel as if they would naturally be growing in a beautiful fall garden. So often fall is overlooked as having beautiful flowers because nothing seems to be booming, but walk outside and take a good look and you will find some of the prettiest foliage and branches to incorporate with store bought flowers, for simple but beautiful centerpiece that totally gives you cozy autumn vibes.
