Fall Bouquet

Not much time left, but get your clippers out and head into the garden to snip a few beautiful pieces of foliage to make a gorgeous fall bouquet.

I clipped a bit of my glossy leaved coral berry bush, a bundle of pee-gee hydrangea blooms, rust colored nine bark stems, a few heads of zebra grass, and a bit of deep pink autumn sedum.

I selected my natural looking vase of blue. It’s very heavy and sturdy and can handle the weight and height of these stems.

Then I started by placing the leaf stems in the vase first knowing they would create a bit of structure so once I tucked in the flowers, they would stay in place.

The last step is to spray with hair spray or an art spray so it holds the blooms in place and keeps the leaves from falling so fast.

And sitting pretty on my kitchen table. What do you think? Ready to make one for yourself?

    Every day I notice the pretty mums lying on the ground outside. I keep thinking they would be so much more attractive in a vase…
