What are the best flowers to use in the fall and why?
For autumn, it is best to use rich orange and terra cotta colors to create a warm, cozy feeling. In the beginning of fall, dahlias are still in season and have amazing rich orange colors. Also the peach lilies are wonderful and rich at this time too. I will also use orange, terra cotta, and yellow roses — with these I work with autumn leaves to make them atmospheric.
What are the steps to a perfect fall floral arrangement?When doing a fall arrangement I start with fall foliage and then fill in with rich colored flowers.
What's your favorite flower to use in the fall?
Lilies are not the typical fall flower but the gorgeous peach and the deep red ones are beautiful in fall arrangements. They are also large-headed so they feel opulent in the fall leaves.
Do you add any other interesting accents to your fall floral arrangements?
It is the one time of year that I love using pinecones, foliage, artichokes, and nuts. They're perfect with this fall-themed color palette.
Can you predict some fall floral trends?
This year it is very popular to use gold and bronze colored containers. Also I thinking using a lot of floating flowers will be popular.
Where do you go for floral arrangement inspiration?
I travel a lot so I am especially inspired by things I see in Europe, and the fashion industry always inspires, whether it is current colors or shapes in design.
How can someone create the perfect floral arrangement at home? What essentials do they need?
Anyone can create something beautiful on their own at home. Keep an eye out for the flow of the arrangements and look at them to see if they breathe and don't look too crammed.
What are your tricks for a long-lasting arrangement?
There really are no magic tricks: Change the water often, a little drop of bleach in the water will keep bacteria down, and buying fresh flowers is very important.
What do you think are the most important things to keep in mind when creating a floral arrangement?
