Setting the Thanksgiving table is as easy as using Pumpkin Succulent Planters from our floral department! Follow these pro tips to make your tablescape extra special.

Fun Runner: Use kraft paper as a runner down the center of a rectangular table, or for two runners on a round table crossing in the center.

  • Decorate the paper with words like “Thankful” or “Let’s Eat” in elegant script.
  • Have children trace their handprints, then color them in as leaves or turkeys.
  • Provide guests with markers to write what they are thankful for.
  • Use as place card and write the name of each guest at their place setting.

Fall Foliage: Place a Pumpkin Succulent Planter from our floral department in the center of your table on the runner as a festive centerpiece.

  • Embellish with assorted foliage (seeded eucalyptus, safari sunset, etc.) radiating out from the succulents.
  • Add any colorful fall leaves you may have.

Festive Flowers: Make small floral arrangements to place among the foliage.

  • For vases, try using empty votive candles, small, cleaned out pumpkins or empty brown bottles.
  • Keep arrangements low, or if using taller bottles, keep them light and airy so as not to block guests’ views of each other and the food.

Finishing Touches: Add other festive fall accents like these to complete the look.

  • Decorative gourds
  • Fall fruits like pomegranates, apples or persimmons
  • Small pumpkin succulents
  • Festive candles
