It's Thanksgiving tomorrow and many of us will be preparing a lovely meal and opening our homes to family & friends. I think it's always a nice gesture to have some flowers to dress up the dining table. Depending on where you are, flowers can be quite expensive. So I like to add a little bit of fruit to the mix.
Like these cranberries! Traditionally they are made into juice or dried cranberries for year-round consumption, but they are popular come Thanksgiving as a side to roast turkey. It's cooked down to make cranberry sauce. You can get cranberries at a good price at this time of year so I'll buy an extra bag...
Way cute! I love using the fresh cranberries as the decor :) I also pile them around the turkey along with orange slices and herb bouquets!
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by Katie! Don't you just love the versatility of cranberries? :)
ReplyDeleteYet another fantastic centerpiece idea. Seriously, where do they come from? And can I borrow your brain? I love how perfectly holiday it is. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteYou are too sweet Brandi! Have a great Thanksgiving! :)
ReplyDeletePretty!! Much better than plain water in a vase! Another cute idea would be to put some on a skewer and stick them in the arrangements to bulk them up. Kind of like edible arrangements does w/ the grapes?
ReplyDeletestunning! I love this idea even for any other time of the year! Happy Thanksgiving Claire luv! xo
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. Gotta try it.
ReplyDeleteLOVE! That is so festive!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Christina! Cranberries on a skewer is a brilliant idea!

Happy Thanksgiving ya' all :)
Love it with the red roses, how dramatic! I will definitely keep this in mind for Xmas!
ReplyDeleteSo happy you like this centerpiece Pretty Pink Rat! Thanks for your visit :)
ReplyDeleteI did this years ago with cranberries in a mason jar, fill bottom half with cranberries and some water. Add a votive holder on top that has a lip to keep it at the top of the mason mouth and add a tea light. It was beautiful for a lower table centerpiece.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment Melissa! Your centerpiece is a great idea...I will have to try it (I have all the materials)!
ReplyDeleteWOW!! And if the flower is eco/homegrown and no toxics used on it, the berries can be still edible?! :) Especially if you use any edible flowers! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
Thanks Layla! Hooray for edible centerpieces :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Emily!
