Thanksgiving is all about gathering, gratitude, and creating a space that feels warm and inviting. Whether you’re setting the table or showing up as a guest, flowers are one of the most thoughtful things you can bring — because they say thank you without needing a single word.

At Flowers Valley, we create seasonal flowers that feel like fall — textured, rich, and full of heart. Here’s our guide to the best Thanksgiving flowers for hosting or gifting, plus when and how to send them.



Hosting? Make Flowers Part of the Table

If you’re hosting Thanksgiving this year, flowers can elevate your table setting instantly.

We recommend:

  • Low-profile centerpieces (so guests can see each other)
  • Warm tones like burnt orange, terracotta, peach, and gold
  • Seasonal flowers texture — eucalyptus, berries, dried grasses, or even mini pumpkins

Florals to include:

  • Dahlias
  • Chrysanthemums
  • Garden roses
  • Marigolds
  • Dried amaranthus or pampas

Pro tip: Place single blooms in bud vases across the table for an organic, unfussy look.

Guest? Bring Flowers That Travel Well

Showing up to dinner with a bouquet in hand? Make sure it feels intentional but easy.

We recommend:

  • A wrapped flower box in kraft or linen paper with a soft ribbon
  • Our petite designer’s choice for grab-and-go gifting
  • Add a handwritten card — we’ll write it for you if you order ahead

Great flower choices:



Pair Flowers with Thanksgiving Decor

Fall flowers pair beautifully with:

  • Neutral tableware and linens
  • Taper candles in amber or rust glass
  • Woven placemats, matte ceramics, or antique accents

Let the flowers set the tone — moody and rich, or soft and glowy.


When to Order Thanksgiving Flowers

We recommend placing your Thanksgiving flower order:

  • At least 2 days before Thanksgiving
  • Pickup available in Concord
  • Next-day Bay Area delivery available leading up to the holiday

Ask for custom timing, and we’ll schedule your order so your flowers look perfect the day they’re needed.
