Light the Fireplace with Fall Colors . . .

Bring the Bright Colors of Fall to the Fireplace 

 
          You  will need:
                   Fall Basket
                   Liner to fit bottom of
                               Basket
                   Floral Foam
                   Bouquets of Mixed
​                               Fall Flowers
                   Fall Leaves

Place a bright colorful arrangement on the hearth of the fireplace, although a fire is not lit! Decorating with flowers in the fall can be bright and cheerful. Select mixed bouquets that feature bright colors.

For this arrangement, I chose a fireside basket that is highlighted with wrought iron leaves. I chose a liner that fit the bottom of the basket. Cut floral foam to fill the liner. Secure the foam to the liner with waterproof floral tape. Place the liner in the bottom of the basket.

This arrangement is a mixture of 2 Fall Bouquets. I began by placing leatherleaf and fall leaves in the floral foam, concealing the foam. I placed the largest bloom from the bouquets at the base of the basket. I placed roses above the large gerbera daisy and carnations to the side of the gerbera daisy. 

I added height to the arrangement with the placement of the daisy and button pom-poms. Continue to place the daisy and button pom-poms throughout the arrangement. Remember to vary the height of the blooms. Complete the design with addition of goldenrod and statice.
