Often when we think of Thanksgiving, we think about tradition. Cultural traditions, family traditions, and culinary traditions take over before our imaginations have a chance to participate. This year, try thinking a little more creatively for a refreshing departure from the typical Thanksgiving. For example, instead of a formal dinner of over-indulgence, invite friends and family to a cocktail party Thanksgiving. Let guests enjoy trying new flavors and combinations and bring mixology recipes to share. An hors d’oeuvres table can still be dressed with your finest Thanksgiving linens and stemware, with beautiful Thanksgiving decor to tie the event together. Include a beautiful centerpiece from Cityline Florist to bring fresh new ideas together with comfortable traditions.

Grace your buffet or appetizer table with Golden Beauty that brings the colors and textures of fall together in one beautiful design. Sunflowers, protea, fall spider mums and kangaroo paw in bright yellows and oranges with lush green foliage will be the perfect complement to your creative non-traditional holiday celebration.

This Thanksgiving, think outside the box for a fun, creative event that will not be quickly forgotten. Stepping away from tradition will remind you and your loved ones to value what’s important in life and focus on everything you’re grateful for.
