How to Easily Create A Beautiful Autumn Floral Arrangement

After all the floral beauty in spring and summer, you may think autumn is a difficult time for flower arranging. But that’s not the case. Autumn’s bounty provides plenty for you to work with to create a beautiful floral arrangement with ease. 

Colour: 

Start by choosing colours in rich hues that naturally appear at this time of year to give your arrangement an autumnal feel. Once you are comfortable with that, add in your own personal touches. In my case that would be a touch of pink.

• Rustic red

• Burnt orange

• Golden yellow

• Forest green

• Deep purple

Flowers: 

Continue using flowers that appear year round - alstroemeria, carnations, gerberas, lilies, roses  - but also use flowers more specific to this time of year. 

• Amaranthus

• Asters

• Celosia

• Chrysanthemums

• Dahlias

• Marigolds

• Zinnias

• Sunflowers

Add-ins: 

This part is lots of fun! Go on a treasure hunt in your neighbourhood to collect seasonal add-ins for your arrangement. Focus on the textures of autumn. 

• Berries

• Branches

• Pine cones

• Wheat

Vessel: 

Focus on a more natural looking container during this time of year.

• Baskets

• Burlap wrapped vases

• Pottery

Have fun creating and recreating arrangements throughout the season, bringing in different aspects that reflect the changes in nature throughout the months.
