"Well, it's Thanksgiving time and you're wondering "How am I going to make my Thanksgiving centerpiece?" Well, my name is Lori Randall, with Simply Divine Events, and I'm going to tell you how to make your Thanksgiving centerpiece. One idea that you can do is just simply line your table with some nice leaves, and make a nice runner down the center of your table. Just line it like this, and then go ahead and add in some....some pumpkins, some candles, some gourds, pineapples, anything that you might have laying around the house. Stick that out. Put it a nice centerpiece centerpiece, nice and easy, quick and simple. And it looks...looks pretty festive. Even grab some apples, stick that in there. Most everyone has these things lying around their house at Thanksgiving time. Just as simple as that. Another idea you can do is just having your turkey as your centerpiece, too, at your table. And put some nice platters on either side, having all your sides. You can do different, like, shapes and sizes. You know, your rectangle, your circles, your squares, just to kind of add a little depth and element to it. Another idea you can do is have a nice basket, any basket you see lying around the house. And stick in all these same elements that you might have would have put if you wanted to do a runner. And you can get some pumpkins, some gourds, some apples. Get your leaves. Place these all in here. You can make your centerpiece, you know, this way. You can do that. That's another option. Just kind of dress it up, stick it there, add some leaves around the edge, like this, around the sides. Put some candles out, and then, voile, you've got a centerpiece. Another thing would be is getting your hurricane, over here, stick in a nice pillar candle in there. Get some more leaves in here, put that in there like that. That's another centerpiece idea you can do. Add some more leaves. Sit this in the middle of your table, and then you can even spread some more leaves around the base of that as well, and then put your....your votive candles around that, too. Oops! And that's a nice centerpiece, as well. So, those are a couple ideas on how you can set up a centerpiece for your Thanksgiving feast table."
