Celebrating Fall with Flowers
The weather is getting cooler, the kids are back in school and the leaves are just beginning to change. It’s official…autumn is here. So celebrate the season because fall flowers are the perfect way to liven up your home, say thank you or display your creativity!
Autumn colors include warm shades of red, burgundy, yellow, gold, orange and brown, which compliment almost any type of home décor. Adding a few simple floral accents will spruce up your home and evoke feelings of comfort in every room. We recommend chrysanthemums, Asiatic lilies and gerbera daisies to brighten your home with subtle bursts of color.
Been invited to a dinner party? Show your appreciation by sending an autumn arrangement the day before the party. A small cube, like Autumn Alstroemeria or Autumn Awe, as well as bubble bowls, think along the lines of Natural Elegance, can double as table centerpieces.
Looking to show off your creativity? Design your own arrangements or centerpieces with Vogue’s loose flower section. Now you can select flowers by stem or bunch (depending on the flower) online, have them delivered to your door and create your own floral gifts and decorations. For a more inventive touch, consider hollowing out a pumpkin to use as a vase. You may also want to add fruits and vegetables, like red peppers, mini pumpkins, small eggplants or tiny artichokes to your arrangements. If you use vegetables, make sure they are displayed low in the arrangement otherwise the design will appear top-heavy. For more tips and video tutorials on creating your own arrangements, click here.
Whatever the reason, treat yourself and your loved ones to the flowers of fall and enjoy the season that much more.
