Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving centerpieces designed at our shop on Main Street in Wilmington. Every arrangement is built here by our own designers and hand delivered, never passed to another florist. Order a week or two out if you can. Thanksgiving is the one week a year when every florist in the area runs short of the same flowers at the same time, and the orders placed early are the ones that go out looking exactly like the photo. Call 978-988-0044 and tell us how many are sitting down and we'll build around your table.

Thanksgiving Is the One Week Everyone Runs Short.

Every florist in the area buys the same flowers for the same Thursday. The orders that go out looking exactly like the photograph are the ones placed with a week or two to spare. If Thanksgiving flowers matter to your table, do not leave it until the Tuesday.

Designing for a table people eat at

Keep It Low Enough to Talk Over.

This is the mistake we see most often and it is an easy one to make. A tall arrangement looks spectacular on its own, then sits in the middle of the table blocking everyone from seeing the person across from them. Thanksgiving is a long meal built around conversation, which makes it the wrong night for height.

  1. Tell us how many are sitting down and roughly how long the table is. A six-foot rectangle takes a different piece than a round table for eight.
  2. On a long table, two smaller arrangements down the middle usually work better than one large one.
  3. Candles are welcome. Keep them well below or well above the flower line so nobody is looking through a flame.
  4. Serving family style with dishes on the table? Say so and we will build something narrower that leaves room for the food.
  5. If it has to move to a sideboard once the turkey lands, tell us and we will build for both spots.

"If you can rest your elbows on the table and still see the person opposite, the height is right."

Who Else Orders Thanksgiving Flowers

Hostess gifts

If someone else is cooking, flowers are the right thing to bring and the wrong thing to hand over at the door in a wrapper. The host is busy and does not want to go hunting for a vase with the oven timer going.

Send something already arranged, already in a container, delivered the day before. That is the difference between a gift and a job.

Sending from out of state

If your family is here and you are not, this is the week it matters most. Give us the address and the day you want it there and we will design it here and hand deliver it.

Your order is never passed to a florist you have not heard of. Add a card message and we will write it out properly.

Offices and businesses

Front desks, reception areas and client gifts before the holiday week. If you need several arrangements going to different addresses, call rather than ordering them one at a time online.

See our corporate and event flowers for standing orders.

The first Thanksgiving without someone

A lot of families set a place or keep flowers on the table for someone they lost that year. If that is what you are doing, tell us. We will design it with that in mind rather than treating it as a holiday order.

Before you order

Thanksgiving Questions

How far ahead should I order Thanksgiving flowers?

A week or two if you can. Thanksgiving 2026 falls on Thursday November 26, and in the days before it every florist in the area is drawing on the same supply of fall flowers and containers. Order early and you get what you chose. Order late and we may have to substitute. Call 978-988-0044 if you are close and we will tell you straight away what is still possible.

When will the flowers actually be delivered?

Before the holiday rather than on it. Most people have Thanksgiving centerpieces delivered the day or two before, which means the flowers are settled and on the table when guests arrive instead of being carried in during the cooking. Tell us the day you want it there when you order and we will route it for that.

How tall should a Thanksgiving centerpiece be?

Low enough to see over while seated. If you can put your elbows on the table and still see the person across from you, the height is right. Thanksgiving is a long meal with conversation across the table, so a tall arrangement in the middle works against you. On a long table, two smaller pieces usually beat one large one.

Can I pick up instead of having it delivered?

Yes, from our shop at 52 Main Street in Wilmington. Tell us roughly what time you are coming when you order and we will have it ready and boxed so it travels flat in the car. Holiday week fills up, so call ahead rather than turning up and hoping.

What towns do you deliver Thanksgiving flowers to?

Wilmington, Tewksbury, Billerica, Burlington, Woburn, Reading, North Reading, Andover and the surrounding towns. Holiday week routes fill up quickly, so earlier orders get the better delivery windows. See our delivery areas guide for the full list of towns.

How long will a Thanksgiving centerpiece last?

Well past the holiday if you keep it out of direct sun and away from the heating vent and top up the water. Customers regularly tell us ours are still going a week later, which comes down to how we condition the flowers before they go into an arrangement. Fall flowers are hardy to begin with.

Tell Us How Many Are Sitting Down.

Call and give us the table, the headcount and roughly what you want to spend. We design everything at 52 Main Street in Wilmington and have done since 1989. Nothing is passed to another florist.
