This easy last minute Thanksgiving centerpiece can be created in just five minutes, with a trip to the grocery store.
It’s completely fuss-free, which puts guests at ease. So don’t fret any unexpected guests, enjoy them!

I am always working at the last minute to put something together. I had to remind myself that I didn’t start my blog to share tablescapes that I spent months planning or to share unattainable beauty.
I started it to share how we celebrate every day, encouraging you to do the same with ease.
Last Minute Thanksgiving Centerpiece Ingredients
- platter
- various votive/pillar candles
- seeded eucalyptus {my standby}
- pears
How to Make
- Position your platter in the center of the table.
- Add stems of seeded eucalyptus to each corner of the platter.
- Add your pillar and votive candles.
- Place your pears in various directions on top of your eucalyptus and to fill any holes.
- Feeling sparse? Add small stems of seeded eucalyptus to fill.



Where do you buy seeded eucalyptus?
You can find my complete guide of Where to Buy Flowers here, but grocery stores with a floral department (sometimes you have to ask), Whole Foods, and Trader Joe’s always have it in stock.
Thank you!
Hi Julie,
This is such a beautiful table escape. Where do you buy the white candles ? Thanks
Michael’s and Hobby Lobby, enjoy!
