With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I’m on the lookout for easy and impactful ways to elevate my home in the lead-up to the holiday. While some festive garlands and charming ornaments never go a miss, there’s no denying the quiet power of a good floral arrangement.
The perfect centerpiece for the all-important Thanksgiving table, a good bouquet can transform a dining setup in an instant. While there are plenty of ways to create a seasonal-inspired arrangement, actor Kristin Davis’ fall bouquet has inspired me to get creative this year.

Kristin’s fall bouquet is layered with a real array of stems. Following a fall color palette, she creates a seasonal arrangement that feels festive yet still refreshingly elegant.
Kristin begins by taking some generous branches of magnolia leaves and placing them into the pot. These act as the foundation that will keep the delicate stems upright. She then takes her largest flower, the hydrangeas, and slots them in at the heart of the arrangement. Not only are these perfectly seasonal, they contrast beautifully with the deep and dark magnolia leaves.
For some vibrancy, Kristin adds some orange marigolds to the mix. A classic fall foliage decorating idea, they nod to the season and evoke a real autumnal feel. The bright sunflowers do just this and more, bringing another layer of color and life into the display, matched by the dainty yellow tulips and coral-toned roses.
Bringing some height (and festivity) into the equation, the red berry branches are the perfect finishing touch that nod to the season and all of its wintry delights.
Kristin’s fall bouquet is impressive. Layered with a variety of seasonal branches and flowers, it’s a lesson in creating a fun yet sophisticated display that acknowledges floral trends (hydrangeas are all the rage this season) and timeless, holiday festivity.
