Our Thanksgiving Lineup

If you know me at all, you know I love Thanksgiving. For as long as I can remember, it’s been my favorite day of the year. I love a packed house, the smell of pies baking, football in the background - you get the picture. I also live for a beautiful holiday table. In my adult life, I’ve always taken on the responsibility of decorating the table, and each year I carefully plan for all the tiny details - from candles to flowers to napkin garnish. 

It’s probably no surprise that I spend just as much time dreaming up Thanksgiving color palettes and vases for our Helen Olivia collection. This year, I am so excited to share our lineup for Thanksgiving, and while we kept our tried-and-true favorites, we also added a few new options to keep things fresh and exciting. Without further ado, here’s a rundown of what’s in store for my favorite holiday.

Bud Vases

Looking for just a little floral accent for your table or a more flexible centerpiece around all the platters and stuff? We know holiday tables can get crowded, which is why we’re offering a grouping of sweet bud vases in seasonal shades. 

Long and Lows

The most asked for style of centerpiece and the perfect complement to a rectangular dining table. It’s oblong in shape and kept a low profile for good sightlines - a must-have each year for my own table design. 

Compote Centerpieces

The most classic of the Thanksgiving styles, our compote vases are beautiful footed bowls and are filled in a dreamy garden style. You can expect all the drapey greens with this pretty style. They’re also versatile for round and rectangular tables. 

Cornucopias

If you’re like me, you love a little holiday kitsch. Cornucopias are a gorgeous accent for a table, foyer table, island- really anywhere. 

Workshops

If getting your hands dirty and making something sounds up your alley, we still have spaces left in holiday workshops. Hop on over to the website and grab a spot!

 

As with all holidays, all of our designs are available in a variety of colors. If a neutral, fallsy Ralph Lauren inspired design sounds up your alley - we’ve got you covered. If a bright and whimsical berry-toned design is more your speed - we’ve also got you covered. And just like years past, we’re breaking out all the cool design elements like baby pears, feathers, and pods. Cheers to a gorgeous holiday, friends!
