Even though Thanksgiving is not an occasion that has caught on in Singapore, it does not mean we cannot have our very own dinner to show our appreciation and love to our family members and friends. As the end of the year is fast approaching, this makes for a great opportunity to reflect back in the year alongside those who are dear to you.
Some people may opt to do a fancy dinner at a nice restaurant, while others may prefer hosting a more intimate dinner in the comfort of their own homes. If you belong in the latter group, you should consider decorating the dining table with these classic Thanksgiving flowers, which are listed below.
1. Sunflowers
With their vibrant yellow flowers, sunflowers make for a sunny and cheery addition to the table. Sunflowers complement well with traditional fall colours and decoration, but what makes them so meaningful for Thanksgiving is their symbolism. Sunflowers represent loyalty and longevity – all sentiments that should be displayed during Thanksgiving. Moreover, sunflowers bloom from summer to the middle of the fall season, making them a good indicator that the holiday season is upon us.
2. Roses
Another flower that goes nicely with the autumnal palette is roses, which should not come as too much of a surprise. Roses are pretty much suited for any occasion, but especially so for Thanksgiving as they express feelings of devotion and love. While roses come in a wide range of colours, their deep tones bring out the warm shades of fall – yellow, orange, and red. We recommend mixing roses with other seasonal flowers to create an impressive floral centrepiece that can impress your dinner guests.
3. Carnations
Thanksgiving is all about showing gratitude to those you admire and appreciate in your life, and no flower better conveys these emotions than carnations. Carnations have long been associated with love, in particular, a love from a mother. However, they make sense for Thanksgiving as well since you will be having dinner with your loved ones. Other symbolisms carnations hold include happiness and thankfulness.
4. Lilies
Lilies can be a controversial option. Some people may view them as a condolences flower in Singapore and around the world, while others think they represent purity and innocence. The thing is, as lilies come in a variety of colours, they are incredibly versatile. As long as the lilies you get your hands on come in an uplifting shade, such as white or pink, they are fitting for Thanksgiving.
5. Gerberas
Everyone can agree that gerberas are one of, if not the most, stunning flowers available. Their vibrant colours and beautiful blooms are sure to capture the attention of everyone, which is what you should be looking for when your guests are coming over. Different colours of gerberas mean different things, but the general connotation is that they are a symbol of adoration and celebration.
