Setaria is a must-have for fall. Once an ancient food crop turned fashionable filler, foxtail millet is an annual grass known for its long and showy seed-filled spikes. Its distinctive shape and form, fresh or dried, provides airy contrast and seasonal interest to your decor.

Achillea, commonly known as yarrow, has been used by Native Americans for centuries for its medicinal properties in treating wounds and other physical ailments. Nowadays, it is a prized ornamental flower, working well as an accent in both fresh and dried arrangements. Its long-lasting blooms hold their hue beautifully, offering a timeless connection to our nation’s botanical heritage.

Crisp, papery petals in gold, rust, and rose bring the autumn shades of the holiday, even without water. Strawflower is the perfect addition to the Thanksgiving table as it captures the essence of the harvest season while adding an everlasting touch.

With a novel silhouette and playful charm, we have a particular fascination with nature’s drumsticks. The dynamic, ball-shaped flower cluster that forms at the top of each of its slim, unbranched stems brings an enthusiastic pop of yellow, and dries to a subdued, yet still vibrant, hue. Use a florist’s trick and spray paint the dried balls any autumn shade your particular arrangement needs!

Safflower’s sunset colors and textured blooms are a floral designer’s dream, featuring uniquely spikey, blood-orange blossoms that emerge from one thistlelike, green globe. Highly branched stems add wispy texture and mass that are often hard to achieve otherwise.

This small but hardy plant packs a big punch, both in its looks and versatility. Starflower pods are the seed pods of scabiosa flowers and keep their texture and form in its dried state. These pods will offer light texture, movement, and muted colors to your centerpiece.

Eryngium, also known as blue thistle or sea holly, is prized for its exquisite steel-blue or purple color and rare shape. A fun and unique addition to a fall display, we love its well-branched and highly textured stems that supplement autumn’s colors in a lively and youthful way.

Papery blooms that hold their color for weeks, statice is the perfect summer flower that can be picked and dried for fall. Available in vintage shades of purples, creams, apricots, and pinks, it is suited for long-lasting holiday displays.

Weaving a soft greenery like eucalyptus adds a graceful movement and a fresh silvery-green contrast to warm autumn tones. Its subtle fragrance and elegant leaves bring a modern, natural touch that balances the richness of seasonal flowers.

No Thanksgiving tablescape is complete without including a few mini pumpkins or textured gourds! Be sure to add these to your summer garden each year so you can then dot them around on windowsills, stairs, and right atop the dinner table come fall. The rich texture and color of gourds lend a Thanksgiving centerpiece an instant sense of heritage and timeless charm.

The rich harvest symbolism and natural sparkle of Glass Gem Corn makes this addition a natural choice for this season’s decor. Display the colorful ears piled in bowls, nestled among candles, or tucked into arrangements for a touch of rustic elegance and heirloom beauty.
