Autumn colours are perfect for the centerpiece, but don\u2019t be afraid to add pops of colour.\u00a0 Dishes, serving pieces and table linens can still be modern but have that rustic feel.\u00a0 \u00a0Neutral colours let the centerpiece be the star and help your table look it\u2019s best.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"set-the-perfect-table-the-centerpiece\">Set the Perfect Table: The Centerpiece<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1602690\" src=\"https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ReBloom-Thanksgiving-Image.jpg\" alt=\"Set the Perfect Table: Centerpiece\" width=\"800\" height=\"566\" srcset=\"https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ReBloom-Thanksgiving-Image.jpg 800w, https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ReBloom-Thanksgiving-Image-320x226.jpg 320w, https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ReBloom-Thanksgiving-Image-560x396.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Kalynn Crump, Founder of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rebloomflowers.ca\/howwework\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ReBLOOM<\/a>, is on a mission to ensure flowers are enjoyed for days, not hours and our environment doesn\u2019t suffer from our enjoyment of them.\u00a0 She shared her tips for creating a beautiful Thanksgiving floral centrepiece:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Florals that are in season in fall, that are grown in Canada will vary city by city, based on local growers and what they&#8217;ve been harvesting. Here are some that tend to stay consistent:\n<ul>\n<li>Alstroemeria<\/li>\n<li>Iris<\/li>\n<li>Chrysanthemum<\/li>\n<li>Sunflower<\/li>\n<li>Delphinium<\/li>\n<li>Freesia<\/li>\n<li>Magnolia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Look for reds, rich burgundies, and vibrant oranges<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t shy away from using fruits, seasonal berries, white and orange pumpkins or gourds<\/li>\n<li>Lay out a spread of greenery, like dried eucalyptus and build upon that<\/li>\n<li>Keeping the arrangement low allows your guests to chat comfortably across the table. The last thing you want to do is overwhelm them with something tall that they have to talk around.<\/li>\n<li>Pink may not come to mind when you think of Thanksgiving, but it&#8217;s a beautiful complement with traditional orange<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1602694\" src=\"https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ReBloom-workshop2.jpg\" alt=\"Set the perfect table: Roses\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ReBloom-workshop2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ReBloom-workshop2-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ReBloom-workshop2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ReBloom-workshop2-560x420.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"set-the-perfect-table-tableware\">Set the Perfect Table: Tableware<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"linens\">Linens<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1602698\" src=\"https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/jackie-black-tablecloth.jpg\" alt=\"table cloth\" width=\"685\" height=\"685\" srcset=\"https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/jackie-black-tablecloth.jpg 625w, https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/jackie-black-tablecloth-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/jackie-black-tablecloth-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/jackie-black-tablecloth-560x560.jpg 560w, https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/jackie-black-tablecloth-90x90.jpg 90w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 685px) 100vw, 685px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crateandbarrel.ca\/jackie-black-tablecloth\/f1000263\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jackie Black Table Cloth<\/a> at Crate &amp;
