Think you know everything there is to know about holiday centerpieces? Think again.

The typical Thanksgiving centerpiece is a flat splay of harvest blooms tied off with a plaid taffeta bow and topped with a taper candle, right? It’s a classic seasonal choice and looks great on any table. But we here at Stadium Flowers have upped our centerpiece game just in time for Thanksgiving, and we’re loving designs that incorporate just a bit more than your average holiday arrangement.

Flowers and candles go together on your Thanksgiving table like two peas in a pod; they add texture and warmth, as well as bring in some mood lighting and mood scenting. But the usual way of utilizing both – a wreath of florals around a single taper – could use some updating. Enter our Voluspa Votive Centerpiece, which is a nice blend of the traditional with the modern. Here lilies, roses and mums crowd around a gorgeous candle that exudes a Crane Flower essence (nectar, ripe grapefruit, geranium . . . Need we go on?) and looks just as pretty as it smells. Traditional elements like wheat and the wreath shape are there, too.

Similarly, our Autumn Light makes for a striking conversation piece as you and your guests tuck into your holiday feast. The same florals as above now encircle a little lantern with a votive visible inside – a charming keepsake and a cool piece of decor in its own right.

Get creative this holiday season and bring something new to the table. At Stadium Flowers, we have both classic centerpiece styles and ones that offer a twist on the usual.
