Take Away Flowers – Floral Friday

~ Floral Friday

“Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭100:4‬ ‭

Happy Friday dear friends! It is the third Friday of the month which means it is Floral Friday. We have some exciting news to share with you all so be sure to read all the way to the bottom of this post. I am always a little sad when the Autumn/Thanksgiving season comes to an end, it is my favorite. But of course, I do love “the most wonderful time of the year!” Today, I will savor the spirit of Thanksgiving as I share one more post before the decking of the halls begin. 

 Is there anything more special than to sit down to a table where you have your own personal floral arrangement that is yours to take home?  Our common theme for this edition of Floral Friday is flowers in individual settings.

 Be sure to scroll to the bottom for the links of my talented friends…Shirley, Mary, and Lidy!
 This table for four is ideal for a small Thanksgiving dinner, or maybe the Friday after for all those delicious leftovers. Do you enjoy feasting on the leftover turkey and dressing?

Mint julep cups are the perfect small vessel for individual florals. You can set the cup on the dinner plate…

…or beside each place setting. Either way it will make your guests feel loved and extra special.

My favorite autumn pattern is Spode “woodland” with this particular plate featuring the beautiful ring-neck pheasant. Dinner plates sit atop creamy white chargers and pheasant feather placemats.

Grocery store flowers…mums, pom daisies, alstroemeria, and beautiful pale peach roses!

A burlap table runner provides a rustic background for pumpkins, fruit, and antler sheds.

Plaid napkins are held by jeweled napkin rings that add a little touch of sparkle to my rustic setting.

Faux tortoise flatware and vintage Fostoria stemware complete each place setting.

Individual flower arrangements are the perfect take away gift for your guests.

  1. Happy Thanksgiving Pam!….I have to say that the Spode Woodland is my favorite pattern for Thanksgiving/Fall too…it’s been my favorite, yet it has not be added to my collection…so must do something about that! Your tablescapes are always so beautifully curated with the greatest attention to detail…from the chargers of gorgeous feathers to the vintage Fostoria. I must say that silver mint julep cups are my favorite small container for flowers…they can make any arrangement feel special and elegant. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Pam….looking forward to Monday Morning Blooms with you…love my “Monday Morning Buddies”

  2. Pam, I have dish envy every time I see one of your beautiful tables set with Spode Woodland and the pheasant feather placemats set them off perfectly. The combination of your sunny/peachy flowers is stunning gathered together in your julep cups! I’m sad to see pumpkin season coming to an end, our fall was much too brief! Thank you for the beautiful start to my day. It’s always a pleasure to join you for Floral Fridays and continue with Monday Morning Blooms. Happy Thanksgiving ♥

  7. Pam, a beautiful post. I love the mint julep cups for your design and it is always so special to see flowers at each setting. It does make guest feel special. Your spode is lovely and those place mats are not only beautiful, but are perfect for Thanksgiving and your spode. Have a lovely weekend, my friend. It truly is such a wonderful time of the year.

  12. So so lovely Pam, the mint julep cups are brilliant! I love the flowers you chose, and the peach rose really elevates the mini bouquets! Your table settings are just gorgeous, and I would truly feel like a princess or a bride if you told me the flowers were mine to take home, what a fabulous hostess you are! I am looking forward to Monday Morning Blooms!

  15. Excellent table, the colors of autumn are very decorative and the elements you have chosen are precious.
    The detail of a bouquet of flowers per person is endearing.
    Thanks Pam, I love everything

  19. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Pam! Love your table set for the holiday… I love this time of year, too, and it is a bit sad to have to say goodbye to all the lovely pumpkins and fall decor. I do love Christmas time but it seems like this year for some reason, the seasons are rushing along too quickly. I’m not really ready for Christmas yet. I need a few extra weeks, LOL! 😉

    Thank you for sharing this post with us at Share Your Style #184! I’m spending a quiet evening reading and enjoying just being a visitor to other bloggers,
    Hugs and blessings to you,
    Barb 🙂
