Thanksgiving is a week away! Are you ready? Is your house decorated to reflect that autumn and holiday feel? Check out the article below from aboutflowers.com for fall floral arranging tips and ideas!

Holiday & Occasions
Thanksgiving
Appointed as a day to give thanks for the bountiful gifts of the land, the first national Thanksgiving day was proclaimed by George Washington and celebrated on November 26, 1789. In 1863 Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday to be celebrated on the last Thursday of November. The Canadian observance of Thanksgiving began in 1879 and is celebrated annually on the second Monday of October.

Thanksgiving Floral Decorating Ideas
Accessorize a large table by placing a long, narrow centerpiece in the center of the table. Add a few smaller accent pieces or candles on each side of the arrangement for an added effect.
Ask your florist to create a centerpiece in a treasured family vase or bowl, or in seasonal pieces such as a cornucopia or a utility vase surrounded by dry corn cobs.

To create a lot of drama and variety, place a topiary at one end of the table leading to a cluster of small potted plants, then two smaller topiaries with candles leading to a tray of votive candles and flower petals, and so on...

Can Receiving Flowers Affect Your Mood?

by LeAnne Nelson

Can receiving flowers affect your mood? Studies say yes!

According to research made by Rutgers State University of New Jersey, flowers can improve your emotional health and well being. The lead researcher and Professor of Psychology of Rutgers, Jeannette Haviland-Jones, Ph.D. states, "What's most exciting about this study is that it challenges established scientific results about how people can manage their day to day moods in a healthy and natural way."

And that's not all! Receiving flowers has been proved to have positive effects on mood, some of them even long term; such as feeling less depressed or anxious.

Other benefits of flowers are: (applies to all age groups and genders in a study taken over a 10 month period)
~They trigger happy emotions! Getting flowers gave people a feeling of satisfaction and resulted in a "real" or excited smile. They also expressed delight and thanks.
~Receiving flowers has shown to help with intimate bonds -- leading to increased contact with family and friends. Most people even placed the gift in areas of their home that are well noticed.

"Flowers bring about positive emotional feelings in those who enter a room. They make the space more welcoming and create a sharing atmosphere," says Dr. Haviland.

Sounds like a good reason to give that special someone a beautiful uplifting bouquet and experience to me!
