How can I decorate with flowers in the fall?
Q- Decorating my home with anything floral is something that has sort of become a hobby of mine, it actually brings me a lot of joy in my life. So not long ago I got into the practice of getting cut flowers every few days or so. With fall approaching, I am going to miss the abundance of spring and summer. Any ideas for me?
A- Yes, I do! It sounds like you are concerned that you may not have as many choices in fall when it comes to floral arrangements. While many people assume that, fall brings its own bounty of color and variety. The choices and combinations are really quite limitless.
First, I want to discuss color. When you think of fall colors, think of the color of spices and deep jewel tones. You will find astounding floral choices in colors from deep orange tones to rich reds and purples. Common colors include cinnamon, ruby, terra cotta, persimmon, and pumpkin.
A few Common flower choices include:
• Chrysanthemums
• Gerberas
• Asters
• Sunflowers
• Statice
• Mixed Crocosmia
• Dahlia
• Trumpet lily
Also, there is no better time than fall to complement an arrangement with other rustic elements such as dried whole slit oranges, decorative bundles of wheat, and dried herbs. The kitchen also provides a bounty of artistic elements to add to your arrangements.
Another option would be high quality silk flowers or arrangements. Silks give you the advantage of long lasting beauty that you can enjoy year after year.
Believe me, you are not the only one wondering "What do I do now?" with fall approaching. However, as you can see, there is no reason why you cannot enjoy your decorative floral arrangements year-round....and I think you'll find that the colors of fall are quite beautiful, like no other!
