Textured Fall design

Hand-tied Bouquet - Fall Design

To kick off the fall season, I designed two textured arrangements. I was inspired after going to a floral design show organized by my local flower wholesaler {OC Wholesale Flowers}. It has been a long time since I have create arrangements because of some health trouble I went trough. But now, everything is starting to clearing out ... so I'm so excited and grateful.

The first design I made is a hand-tied bouquet featuring white hydrangeas, wheat, black millet, broomcorn, red ti leaves, and Cotinus {aka Smoke bush}. I love playing with contrast in color and texture.

The second arrangement was made as a candle centerpiece in a clear round container. I have added wax flowers, spray roses, variegated as well as more textured materials such as pencil cattails, bark,s loofah, and reindeer moss to give it a rustic look. The end result looked kind of interesting to me.
