Fall allows florists like myself to utilize the other beautiful bounties of nature here in the Midwest. For me, finding out that the harvest of pumpkins and gourds is ready for sale is almost like Christmas. Unique shapes, different shades of orange and yellow, and a plethora of these different sized autumn staples provide me with endless ways to create gorgeous fall displays. Combine them with my favorite fall flowers and grasses…and I’m in a state of pure bliss.
Of course, I always love looking at the unique ways others display their fall arrangements. Plenty of ah-ha moments spark my own ideas and inspire me to use pumpkins and gourds in ways I hadn’t previously considered. So naturally, when I found this blog post from Robin of All Things Heart and Home, I was blown away by the unique ways her featured sources arranged their tables and planters.
Check out these awesome ideas and make sure to visit Robin’s blog. I know we’ve been inspired here at Belle Fiori this season.
