5 Reasons Why Thanksgiving Flowers Are Trending | Bud WEismiller Flowers Las Vegas
Yes, People Send Flowers for Thanksgiving: Here’s Why It’s Becoming the Trend of 2025
Thanksgiving is evolving — and so is the way we express gratitude. While turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie remain iconic, a growing number of people are now turning to floral gifts andfloral arrangements to elevate the holiday. In fact, sending flowers for this day of gratutude is quickly becoming a trending gesture in 2025.
In this post we’ll dive into why flower gifting is rising, how it fits into holiday décor and hosting culture, and what you should know if you’re ordering flowers (especially here in Las Vegas and Henderson). From emotional meaning to local delivery advantages, we’ve got you covered.
A. Symbolism & Meaning
Flowers have long been used to express appreciation, gratitude, and human connection. According to a florist blog, “flowers are the best message-bearers for any occasion” thanks to floriography, the language of flowers.
In the context of a holiday built on giving thanks—a thoughtfully chosen bouquet or arrangement says far more than an obligatory host gift. For example, orange roses signify enthusiasm and gratitude; sunflowers evoke happiness and positivity; chrysanthemums (or “mums”) represent joy and long life.
B. A Gift That Doubles as Décor
In addition, giving flowers at Thanksgiving accomplishes two things at once: the recipient receives a gift, and the home receives a decorative piece. As one blog put it: “While wine or other traditional gifts may be expected, flowers stand out … and help create a festive ambiance.”
That’s especially relevant for hosts who already have a lot on their plate. Rather than buying something purely ornamental, the flowers contribute to the table setting, foyer, or living room.
C. A Shift in Gift-Giving Culture
Moreover, the broader trend in floristry is moving toward more casual, everyday gifting of flowers rather than only big occasions. One recent floral-trend article notes: “The trend of gifting flowers ‘just because’ is rising.”
Thus, Thanksgiving fits into this shift. It’s a moment to celebrate connection and presence—and flowers help express that in a meaningful way.
2. The Top Reasons Thanksgiving Flower Gifting Is Trending in 2025
If you’re wondering what’s actually fueling this trend, here are some of the top reasons:
Reason #1: Hosts Appreciate Beauty, Not Burdens
When you walk into a Thanksgiving gathering, the host is juggling a lot. Cooking, seating, timing, grateful guests. Bringing a beautiful arrangement shows appreciation and lightens the décor load. One floral-retailer blog argues that a seasonal arrangement “serves as the focal point of the dinner table … so arrive with The Statement Piece in hand. Therefore, sending flowers to the host is both thoughtful and practical.
Reason #2: Amplified Online Sharing & Tablescape Culture
Thanks to social media, Thanksgiving décor is more visible than ever. People want tablescapes that wow and generate share-worthy photos. The trend article “Thanksgiving 2025 in Bloom” noted that floral trends are now “telling a story of gratitude and regional identity.”
In that environment, a standout floral arrangement helps your gathering step into the spotlight.
Reason #3: Local Same-Day Delivery Makes It Easy
Particularly in a city like Las Vegas/Henderson, where last-minute plans and guests from out of town We have several options offered for Thanksgiving bouquets, centerpieces, cornucopias, and same-day delivery options.
This convenience lowers the barrier for sending flowers rather than choosing something generic or skipping the host gift.
Reason #4: Diverse & Seasonal Floral Trends
Modern floral design is embracing bold colors, textures, sustainability, and personality. Trends for 2025 highlight earthy tones, layered textures, and meaningful blooms.
Since Thanksgiving sits right in the “fall colors + gratitude” zone, flowers are a prime conduit for that aesthetic.
Reason #5: Emotional Connection Matters More
Post-pandemic, people are more attuned to emotional meaning and connection. A blog about flower meanings for Thanksgiving emphasizes that flowers “bring warmth, color, and joy to any celebration” and highlight what we’re grateful for. Therefore, sending flowers moves from being an afterthought to being a deliberate act of thanks.
