What a great season with its natural colors of nature all around. This is the
time when the whiff of turkey and pumpkin spice pie is in the air. You can
hear the festivities in the joyful laughter coming from the inside of each
home with family and friends getting together to reminisce and thank for
another year together. This is the best time to let our loved ones know
they are special by welcoming them with a beautiful floral arrangement
that says “I’m happy you’re here” maybe in the entrance, on the dinner
table or in there room if they are staying for the night.
Every holiday I like to do something nontraditional and get out of the box
of course always using all the basics of nature for the season.
Even though we are limited with flowers during this time, there are so
many natural elements we can include that are available this time of year.
I like to get into the kitchen and incorporate some of my special and
most favorite items and instead of cooking them, I integrated it in my
arrangements, this adds an accent of texture and uniqueness. To mention
some for example are eggplant, artichoke, asparagus, fig and pumpkins.
Low arrangements allow you to interact with everyone sitting in the table.
If it’s a large table, repetitive arrangement throughout will look great
including candles to add warmed. Below I will give you some ideas Sylvia
Jaimes Floral Design likes to do for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
