Lace Theme Thanksgiving Decor

Hi! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. A few posts’ ago I mentioned that the theme for this years’ Thanksgiving was going to be lace, and that I also wanted to incorporate the colors light green and light orange. However, those colors are pretty difficult to find when you’re on a tight time frame and I had to accept using regular orange and green accents instead. I didn't mind though, because those darker shades are still great for Thanksgiving. So, I started the morning by making 3 flower arrangements for the main table, and when I was at the flower mart I was looking for light oranges and greens but couldn't find them so I just went simple and found the closest thing I could find. I’m not that great at flower arranging but I always have fun doing it, hehe.
I also wanted to have little lace accents here and there so I went to the dollar store and bought two scented candles and a pack of lace. All I did for these was remove the wrapping, cut a piece of lace that fit perfectly around the candle and applied adhesive to the lace using my tape runner, and placed it onto the candle—it worked so well!
 Next I made some treat bags and used my green lace to create a cute ribbon closure.
I also made some really cute lace place cards (they match the invitations--to see them click here). 
I wanted to try something new with my traditional limeade, so I added kiwi and used agave nectar to sweeten the drink, and it tasted so good!
I wanted to take pictures of our food, but by the time the food was served I didn't even want to pick up my camera anymore. I was so hungry, haha. I hope you enjoyed my decor and I hope you're having a great Friday!

  6. Who says you're not great at flower arranging? Those arrangements are so beautiful! Love the lace theme - the candles & treat bags look great. I will also have to try those additions to the traditional limeade, because it sounds pretty yummy. =0)

    1. I think I'm just to critical of myself--after looking at it I did start to like it. I guess I always think I can do better. I need to stop thinking that way...maybe, hehe. I'll stop by the blog hop, thanks for the invite Kim!
