- “The best way to start decorating for Thanksgiving is to decide what feeling you want to create. Is it fun and whimsical? Do you want to be more traditional? Start with the genre and then browse around fun places like Pinterest for inspiration. As a small business owner, I am always on a budget, so I have to create expensive looking decorations at an affordable price for my clients. I always think of decor like I am creating a theatrical de-sign. Starting with the entrance.”
- “Create some lovely centerpieces around your theme. Fresh flowers are always festive and you can add cute accents from fun places like the Dollar Tree or HomeGoods.”
- “If you are having kids at your event, create some decor that can be interactive. What about coloring place mats, or creating Thanksgiving Pine Cone Turkeys or letting the kids make their own Thanksgiving centerpieces for the kids’ table?”
- “Don’t forget about music and scent. Remember creating an environment includes all of our senses. There are so many beautiful holiday scents, candles—be careful of the kids—diffusers and potpourri. We often forget about pretty and appropriate music.”
- “These days are for celebration. Make your choices and spend time celebrating the most important thing in your life … family and friends.”
