Tablescaping Tips for Your Thanksgiving Centerpiece Table

Who doesn’t love gifts? Everyone does! Whether you’re celebrating with your family or friends on this special time of year, giving special gifts is a gesture of gratitude. A heartfelt, hand-made piece of Thanksgiving token symbolizes the event and how they have made a great impact in your life. And a beautiful professionally crafted floral Thanksgiving centerpiece is the perfect option. 

They have invited you into their home, prepared a delicious dinner, and will provide you thoughtful company for the day. Whether you can make the dinner at their home that day or not, flowers are a great way to say “Thank you for thinking of me.” 

Looking to create a complete tablescape for Thanksgiving? Below are some great tips to get your ideas flowing.

Set The Mood for Thanksgiving

Lighting and scent are two powerful parts to creating the perfect holiday experience. Candles can be used in other places besides the Thanksgiving centerpiece. Try adding them on side tables, bathrooms and hallways for that extra touch. If using pillar candles, you can place them inside large glass vases that are filled with decorative items. Try matching the filler items to you home decor or party theme. Some of my favorite fall filler items are candy corn because of the festive colors, acorns, and fall leaves. 

Fall fragrances are another great way to create the perfect ambiance for Thanksgiving day. Whether you prefer scented candles, melting pots or oils, most brands have warm cinnamon spice flavors to choose from. This is also a great way to make your home smell like you have been cooking all day, even if you have not. (Sssh, I won’t tell.) 

Get Your Holiday Craft On

Have you been on Pinterest lately? There are Thanksgiving crafts all over the place. From hollowing out pumpkins to festive place holders, there are many options for you to choose from to add to your holiday tablescape that will highlight your Thanksgiving centerpiece.

Are you using real napkins? Tucking in a real flower into the napkin ring is a quick, simple way to add a special touch. We can send you loose flowers when we deliver you centerpiece, or feel free to stop by and pick something special out yourself.

How does making gifts for each person sound? An inexpensive holiday vase with a flower or two tucked inside with a bow can be created simply as well if you are crafty, or we can do it for you. Then you can tuck in place cards if you want as well to let your guests know where they are to sit.

Ordering Thanksgiving Centerpiece Flowers

This was just a few ideas for your Thanksgiving flowers, but please feel to call us if you have any other questions of how we can help you create the perfect Thanksgiving table for the big day. And ordering flowers for the holidays could not be any easier. We have three convenient ways to order your flowers, order flowers by phone and speak with one of our talented floral designers, stop by our store on Fairmont in Pasadena, or order Thanksgiving centerpiece flowers online on our website.

November Flower Spotlight: The Star of Bethlehem

Our Monthly Flower Spotlight for November highlights the Star of Bethlehem (Ornithogalum umbellatum). This six-petaled, white perennial blooms in a traditional star shape and belongs to the Hyacinthaceae, or lily, family of flowers. Its name is rooted in Biblical traditions, and throughout the years it has become a symbol of purity, hope, and happiness. It also has its share of controversies surrounding both its invasiveness in the United States and its historical use in folk medicine. 

Origins and History of the Star of Bethlehem

The Star of Bethlehem is native to Northern Africa and Eurasia, although it has spread to the United States and across the globe through its use in ornamental gardens. Related to garlic and onions, it propagates aggressively through bulbs with tufts of grass like leaves giving way to small clusters of white flowers throughout the late spring and early summer. Blooms on the flowers open every morning at sunrise and close each evening at dusk.

The scientific name of the Star of Bethlehem is translated from the Greek word Ornithogalum, which means “bird’s milk flower.” Other names for the Star of Bethlehem include dove’s dung, sleepydick, nap-at-noon, field onions, wonder flower and Arabian flower. And don't laugh, but here at Enchanted Florist and in flower land, we just call them SOBs. 

Meanings and Symbolism of the Star of Bethlehem

The Star of Bethlehem derives its name from the Biblical star cited in the story of Jesus Christ and is believed to be the bulb referred to in the Bible as “dove’s dung.” For that reason, along with its pure white color, it has traditionally come to symbolize purity, innocence, honesty, hope, and forgiveness. Flower arrangements for Christian religious ceremonies, such as marriages, baptisms, christenings, and funerals, frequently include Star of Bethlehems, although the flowers serve as a striking addition to arrangements for any event, including birthdays, holidays and romantic occasions.

Star of Bethlehem Controversies

The USDA Forest Service classifies the Star of Bethlehem as an invasive plant and cautions that not only should it not be planted, but that it should also be eliminated when possible. Although it has been marketed for ornamental gardening, it poses a threat to native species in the U.S. It is quick to spread outside the edges of flowerbeds and can rapidly take over lawns, pastures and other areas where it is unwanted. 

November Flower Spotlight: The Star of Bethlehem

Folk medicine made use of the Star of Bethlehem as a treatment for a variety of maladies. It was used to ease labor pains and to elevate a person's mood, to name two. However, modern scientific research has revealed the plant to have an unsafe level of toxicity for ingestion by humans and livestock. Although it is still used by some herbalists, most doctors, researchers and scientists strongly caution against ingesting any part of the plant, particularly its bulbs and leaves.

Star of Belthlehem Today

Although it has its share of controversies, the striking color and shape of the Star of Bethlehem make it a beautiful addition to any arrangement for every occasion. We use these beautiful flowers primarily in the winter and esepecially for Christmas flowers. In addition, because of their dainty stature, Star of Bethlehem's work well in wedding boquets and wedding body flowers like corsages and boutonnieres. Contact us today to learn more about our November spotlight flower, Star of Bethlehem and how we can create a beautiful bouquet of flowers for delivery in Pasadena, TX.

Enchanted Florist Offers Express Delivery In Houston

Whether you are across the street or across the country, sometimes it’s just more convenient for us to deliver your flowers for you. Plus with delivery you get the added excitement of your recipient being surprised by an unknown visitor. This is doubly important when it is going to a business or office. 

So I am always surprised when people still ask if we deliver flowers. (I am also confused by the fact that sometimes they ask if we have flowers but that is a story for another time.)

Same Day Flower Delivery in Houston Availability

My response is always the same, yes we are a florist that offers same day delivery in Houston TX. While a majority of our clients do place their orders at least one day in advance (more during holidays,) we do also offer same day flower delivery in Houston Texas. In most cases, as long as you place your flower order before 1 P.M. we can still send your flowers the same day as long as it is in our delivery area. 

Sometimes if we are extremely busy, or if it is a holiday like Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day or similar, we can not always do that but we try our hardest to comply with your wishes. If your flower order is out of our delivery area, then we are at the mercy of the fulfilling florist and must follow their delivery policies.

Flower Shops That Offer Same Day / Next Day Delivery In Houston

A majority of our clients are able to place their flower orders for bouquets at least one day ahead for next day delivery service. This helps ensure that we have the exact flowers in the bouquet of your choice. Sometimes we run out of the exact roses or flowers you may like, and with just a little notice we can get extra flowers in from our floral dealers.

In addition, when placing orders for flowers even just one day ahead of time, we are able to honor requests for specific delivery times and morning delivery requests. When placing orders for same day flower deliveries, it is harder for us to honor those requests due to previous orders already scheduled.

Express Flower Delivery Options

Don’t worry though, we have a way for you to jump ahead of the line. We offer three different types of extra special express delivery options. Any of these options will help you get your special flower arrangement delivered when you need it. 

same day flowers delivery in houston tx

Our first delivery option is our Gold Delivery Option. The option will guarantee that your beautiful flower bouquet will be delivered by 1 P.M. on the day of your choosing. This option costs an extra $4.95 plus the costs of delivery. Also, to be able to guarantee this time delivery, you must have placed the order with us before 9 A.M. the same day of delivery, though earlier notice would be better.

The second delivery option is our Platinum Delivery Option. This option will guarantee that the flower arrangement will be delivered by 11 A.M. on the day of your choosing. This option costs an extra $9.95 plus the delivery charge which varies by zip code. For us to guarantee this option, you must place your order by 5 P.M. the previous business day. If you are wanting a Monday morning delivery, we would need to have your order by 1 P.M. on the previous Saturday. This allows us to ensure we have the flowers in stock for your order.

Lastly, for the ever late man always forgetting the birthday or anniversary, we have our 1 Hour Service. We can get your luscious flower bouquet delivered anywhere in our delivery area within the hour for an extra charge of $24.95 plus the delivery fee.

So there you have it, our list of express delivery options. Now all you need is to choose a lovely bouquet of roses of beautiful arrangement of mixed flowers and we can get it delivered for you. We are the #1 Houston florist that offers same day flower delivery. So please give us a call or order your flowers online.
