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.
Featuring an array of vibrant stems, Kristin's bouquet is undeniably impressive yet surprisingly easy to create. In a recent video, she shares exactly how she put the seasonal arrangement together.

Kristin's bouquet is the perfect fall arrangement. Featuring reds, oranges (Kristin uses marigolds much like these dried bunches from Etsy), and yellows, it feels refreshingly seasonal yet still timeless. You'll be pleased to know that recreating the look is pretty simple; all you need is a selection of stems (faux or real) and a good pot.
Kristin creates her arrangement in a simple yet sophisticated sage green pot. I've found a similar style from Wayfair that will pair beautifully with vibrant seasonal stems.
Kristin scatters some red berry branches in her arrangement, creating some contrast and that all-important seasonal feel. This faux berry branch will do just that and more; it'll last beyond the holidays and can be used for years to come.
The green hydrangeas in Kristin's bouquet pair beautifully with the pops of yellow and orange. You can recreate the look with this Faux Dusty Green Hydrangea Bundle that will stand proud on your table for as long as desired.
This elegant gold and glass test tube vase makes a striking centerpiece for any dining table. Its hinged design allows each vase to be tilted in different ways, creating ever-changing visual interest during meals.
An ikebana vase features a lid with holes that keep flowers neatly separated. This design makes it easy to refresh the water and add flower food, keeping your table arrangements fresh and beautiful.
This beautiful glass vase makes a stunning centerpiece, especially when paired with smaller glass tube vases. Their combination allows for effortless layering, creating a dynamic and elegant table display.
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.
