Thanksgiving Flower Arrangements
By Stephanie Smith
While your own personality will ultimately determine what will go into your Thanksgiving flower arrangement, we've pulled together some ideas from getting started to applying the finishing touches.
Thanksgiving is a traditional autumn holiday with a rustic, earthy theme and your flower arrangement can easily incorporate this by the colours and materials you choose. Autumn is the season of deep, warm colours reminding us of ripe fruits and vegetables, and of the leaves turning on the trees before falling. For your main items choose flowers and accessories in a variety of reds, oranges, yellows, coppers and browns. A touch of green or blue is a great complement and will bring out the warm colours beautifully!
Great seasonal flowers are chrysanthemums, asters, pansies and even sunflowers. Mums and asters can be used in medium to large arrangements, possibly with a handful of small roses and stalks of wheat or barley as accents. If you have a garden, take a stroll through it to see what is still thriving - it could end up being the main attraction in your arrangement!
If you want a handful of smaller arrangements, pansies in old mason jars can add a bit of freshness throughout your home, whether they are placed in washrooms to greet guests, or scattered among buffet dishes on the dining room table. To dress them up, simply tie some ribbon around the jar, preferably ribbon with wire edges that can be shaped to your liking.
Once you've determined which flowers you want to use, you can figure out what container you're going to arrange them in.

More photos have been added to the existing albums for Mykonos, Santorini, Rhodes, Athens, Istanbul, and Ephesus. New albums featuring Rome, Naples, and the excavation site at Herculanum have also been added. There are now over 100 images of the Mediterranean alone.
Image Gallery -- Places
The Image Place has recently added a series of Mediterranean photos that include: the Greek islands of Mykonos, Santorini, and Rhodes; Athens, Greece; Istanbul, Turkey; and the excavations of the ancient city of Ephesus where St. Paul preached to the Ephesians of Asia Minor in the first century A.D. (located near present-day Kusadasi).
Image Gallery -- Modes of Transportation
The Image Place has recently added a series of photos of ships and boats. The selections include cruise ships, sail boats, and tug boats.
What's next?
The Image Place will soon add the following photo series to its gallery: sports, Rome, animals, and nature. Let us know what images you would like us to add to our gallery. Email us at admin@theimageplace.biz.
Possibilities include vases of varying sizes, mason jars, water pitchers, metal watering cans, and terra cotta pots (with a smaller vase or glass inside to hold the flowers and water).
Once your arrangement is created, don't forget to tie all of your colours together with some richly coloured ribbon, raffia, or decorative stones.
Have fun creating your flower arrangement! There are no right or wrong ways as long as you let your creativity show. You'll know when the arrangement feels and looks right so follow your instinct and have a great Thanksgiving!
