Thanksgiving is one of the most cherished moments of the year. It is when families and friends come home, often travelling across states to be together once again. The kitchen fills with the comforting scent of roasting turkey, sweet spices and fresh herbs.

At the centre of it all is the Thanksgiving table. It is more than a place to eat. It is where everyone gathers, where generations meet, traditions are honoured, and where gratitude is expressed not just in words but in gestures of care and welcome. The table sets the scene for everything that follows, and a table that feels abundant, beautiful and considered turns a meal into a celebration.

The key to creating an unforgettable Thanksgiving table is layering details with thought and care, so that every element works in harmony. For this season, we have paired two much-loved David Austin Rose Bouquets: Citrus Linen from the Roses & Friends Collection and Bessie from the Boutique Collection.

Citrus Linen is uplifting and joyful. Its apricot, peach and ivory roses mingle with ranunculus in shades of citrus, echoing the colours of golden leaves, the soft blush of sunset and the warmth of glowing candlelight. It feels lively, fresh and full of warmth.

Bessie provides the perfect balance. Her ivory roses open into plentiful, full-petalled blooms, offering serenity and a whisper of caramel. She softens the vibrancy of Citrus Linen, creating harmony across the table and grounding it with grace.

Placed side by side, the bouquets spill generously across the central length of the table, their petals luminous against neutral table linen. They are intentionally styled low to encourage convivial conversation, while tall, muted-mocha taper candles offer height and complementary colour. Ceramics in a soft, muted palette add understated elegance, while crystal glassware catches the candlelight beautifully without overwhelming the setting. Small ceramic pumpkins at each place setting offer a playful nod to the season while keeping the aesthetic refined.

The result is a table that feels abundant but never crowded. Every detail has a purpose and works together in concert. The roses spark delight and hold the gaze, the linens ground the look, the glassware sparkles, and the candles glow. A perfect balance of luxury, refinement and enduring beauty.

Beyond the styling, it is the act of gathering that makes Thanksgiving so special. Passing dishes around, raising glasses, catching up on stories of the year. The abundance of roses mirrors the generosity of the season, while their fragrance lingers gently in the air alongside the scent of spiced pumpkin and herbs from the kitchen. A Thanksgiving table adorned with David Austin Roses is not simply beautiful; it is memorable. It becomes part of the moment and an experience woven into the celebration.

To create a Thanksgiving table that feels effortless yet extraordinary, we gently encourage you to order early. This ensures that your preferred bouquets are available and delivered on the date you need them. Our cut-off for Thanksgiving delivery is Thursday, November 20th.

Thanksgiving is so much more than the meal itself.

It is the opportunity to create a home where guests feel cherished and memories are made. With David Austin Roses at the centre of your Thanksgiving table, you bring abundance, beauty and meaning to your celebration.
