Tropical Thanksgiving Table...

I'm hosting Thanksgiving again this year for my family here at our home.  Though it won't be a huge gathering, I just want it to be very special and festive for everyone.  Weather permitting, we will have it out in the Lanai, as we did last year.  So peaceful out there...I have a small woods behind my home, so it will be  more intimate that way, no noise except that from nature and the water feature.  I have my table scape designed and ready for the dinning table out there, but for something a little extra, I wanted to try and create the same "semi tropical theme" on my dinning room table (or actually a pub table)  located next to the bar, where I will be serving the homemade French Onion soup in the cute ceramic pumpkin with the little mouse on top, in the pictures below.  But I wanted the decorations to be simple and from nature.  So, I went through my back yard and took a cutting of a large Philodendron  leaf and Croton, then placed them in a tall gun metal colored cut mirrored vase.   It's really tall about 3' so it should not get in any ones way.  At this point I'm not sure if I will use those two cuttings or go with palm fronds with Crotons, or orange bird of paradise.  As I mentioned in my earlier post, I was able to find the mini white pumpkins, but then my daughter and her boyfriend found these white ones with green and orange speckles...too cute,  I thought they would go well with the color of the Crotons.....Though I am a list maker, and huge planner,  I am known to deviate and will probably come with 10 other ideas before I make up my mind, but that is the fun of it.......decisions!!!
