Decorate Your Thanksgiving Table with Just Add Ice Orchids

November 22, 2011

If you are hosting your family for Thanksgiving dinner this year, you probably feel like your “to-do” list is getting longer by the minute. Shopping, food preparation, baking, cleaning -- and then there’s the table. Every hostess wants to set an elegant Thanksgiving table that will elicit the admiration of her guests. The presentation of food at a special occasion like Thanksgiving is nearly as important as the food itself.

Thanksgiving is a time for celebration; a time for families to gather and be thankful for their many blessings. It’s a time to share old memories and make some new ones. And, if you’re the hostess, it’s a time to show off a little bit and impress your family with a Thanksgiving table that is as beautiful and memorable as the meal you serve.

Thanksgiving is a time to bring out the “good” china, polish the silver and lay out the linen napkins. It’s a time for candlesticks and flowers on the table. And that’s where Just Add Ice Orchids come in. Traditional Thanksgiving table decorations – potted mums or cornucopias filled with colored leaves and ornamental squash – are fairly large and bushy. Not only do they block the view of family members sitting across the table; but on a Thanksgiving table crowded with turkey platters and side dishes, they simple take up too much room. Before guests get a chance to sit down and admire the artistry of your Thanksgiving table, floral arrangements are whisked out of the way to make room for the food.

Just Add Ice Orchids offer the perfect centerpiece solution. Phalaenopsis orchids are elegant, beautiful and available in a wide range of colors to match any table décor. Best of all, they come in a pot not much wider than a drinking glass and have a tall, thin, curving flower stem that won’t block guests’ views or get in the way when food is served.
