Fall Colors Indoors . . .

Place an arrangement of fall colors in a Soup Tureen!

This centerpiece for a fall gathering, highlights the design of this Soup Tureen. Perfect for placing in the center of the buffet table. This arrangement was made in a plastic design bowl and placed in the Soup Tureen.

          You Will Need:
                    Mixed Fall Flowers
                    Plastic Design Bowl
                    Wet Floral Foam
                    Waterproof Floral Tape

I use design bowls to place in decorative containers. This adds variety to the setting by changing the container. It also protects the decorative container when caring for the flowers after arranging.

Begin the arrangement by preparing the design bowl. Choose a design bowl that will fit inside the decorative container. Make sure the design bowl fits within the container discreetly. Fill the design bowl with floral foam that rises about 1” over the rim of the bowl. Saturate the floral foam and place in the design bowl. Secure the foam to the bowl with waterproof floral tape. Place the design bowl inside the decorative container.

Arrange the flowers to fit the decorative container. In this arrangement, roses are used as the focal flower. Place the first focal flower at the center of the container, 1 ½  times the height of the container. Extend the two focal flowers on each side of the container, resting on the rim. These blooms should be the same length as the top bloom. Place a rose in the front, to the left and shorter than the tall rose. Place another rose in the back, to the right and opposite the second rose. Place a rose in the lower center of the arrangement. This should be shorter and to the right, between the two outer roses. Complete the placement of the roses by adding a rose in the lower center in the back of the arrangement.

Complete the arrangement by adding the secondary flowers and filler flowers. This will be determined by flower selections chosen. Remember to layer the blooms, not all at the same height. Place bright colors close to the floral foam to add depth. Add fall leaves. Tape some fall leaves on wire with floral wrap tape for height.
