As any good florist will attest, seasonal blooms guarantee a long-lasting bouquet – but now, clever flower growers are finding ways to grow most flowers and foliage year round. To create our autumnal arrangement (opposite), we chose blooms readily available from most local florists and growers’ markets (above), with a focus on warm tones that reflect the seasonal change autumn brings. Before you start, remove extra leaves from stems and trim their ends to ensure maximum lifespan. When creating a large arrangement, work with groups of flowers in bundles to make an impact. Keep it looking natural by varying the height of each group, and don’t be shy about handling the flowers. Need more help? Scan this feature using Netpage (see page 197 for more details) to see our resident stylist/florist Heidi make this stunning arrangement.
