I just saw this on the food network, martha stewart's show. What do you think of this CP? Here's the backround info. My girls (2) love sunflowers and wanted to carry them (fine with me). Their dresses are bright, deep red. I was going to carry red roses. My original idea for CP's was a bowl with sunflower tops floating and some red berries on the bottom. Now I found this CP.
Do you like them? WHich one do you think I should go with.
ETA: 2nd picture Thank you to BriBri529 for FM'ing me your picture
I thing the floating flower top centerpieces can get lost sometimes. I LOVE the pumpkins - why not include sunflowers with them too?

Re: Martha Stwart Harvest Centerpiece
The back picture of the pumpkin has sunflowers. I'd maybe add some roses and those berry sprigs.
This is what the instructions said: Harvest Centerpiece
This Thanksgiving, use a hollowed-out cheese pumpkin as the foundation for your table's centerpiece. The cheese pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata)—so called because its shape evokes the flattened cylinder of an old-fashioned cheese box—is most valued for its functional form. Filled with roses, dried leaves, eucalyptus, and bittersweet, it proves that pumpkins are good for more than just pies.

TECHNIQUE Making a Harvest Centerpiece
Magic marker Cheese pumpkin Plastic container, such as a take-out soup container Pumpkin-carving tools and scoop Frog Roses Eucalyptus Bittersweet Dried oak leaves
To determine the correct diameter, use a magic marker to trace the plastic container's top opening. Carve and hollow out the pumpkin, then insert the plastic container. Place a frog in the container, and fill with water. Arrange the flowers, berries, and dried leaves, carefully concealing the rim of the plastic container.
