Pumpkins and gourds aren’t a new concept for Thanksgiving table decorations, and I love using them to hold flowers. Just carve the gourd or pumpkin, stick in a vase and fill the vase with flowers. For a chic look, I look for white pumpkins and other most interesting gourds. Just check out the simplicity of this table setting — and notice the use of white pumpkins.

Wheat, dried grasses and pheasant feathersare fun and interesting accents for floral arrangements, and can also be used to create dramatic monobotanic designs.
An eclectic array of family vases lining a family table can hold special meaning. Take the vases to your florist who can fill them with customized arrangements of flowers matching your home style and family’s personality. Très chic.
