Fall Flowers

I love how a small touch can make a room come to life. I tend to go shopping with an open mind and let my senses guide me. Typically, I don’t even have the arrangement in my head when I pick a selection of flowers. I prefer to be spontaneous when it comes to flowers and it’s always an exciting surprise to see how it turns out.

For this arrangement, I added green hydrangeas to break up the darkness. Once you pick a focal point, work around it filling it in on all sides. I kept the burgundy African Roses and the burgundy Dahlias on the perimeter to fill in the space. Lastly I added the berry stems and some of the other non-conventional flowers scattered within the bouquet.

The two major tips I would say when it comes to flower arranging: Make sure you ask what water temperature is needed for the flowers (some require warm rather than cold) and most importantly HAVE FUN!
