Simply Charming

Take advantage of the year-round availability of classic blooms like hydrangeas for a presentation that makes a big impact with little effort. We lined a long wooden vessel with plastic wrap and then added soaked floral foam to secure a billowing parade of green antique hydrangeas.

Ode to Autumn

Fall’s resplendent color palette culminates in this centerpiece of amber mums, orange spray roses, goldenrod, craspedia, and peach roses. White spider mums as well as foraged leaves and dried wheat lend contrast to the arrangement’s sunset hues.

Sweeping Elegance

Echoing a lavish garland draped over the hearth, a profusion of roses, tulips, and berries spans the length of this candlelit tablescape from our sister publication Victoria. Slender tapers impart ambience for such a heartwarming occasion.

Natural Allure

Bright blue Scottish thistle brims from a copper vessel with a blend of seeded eucalyptus, arborvitae, and fragrant rosemary. Frame the nontraditional presentation with swathes of greenery and candleholders tied with shimmering ribbon.

Buoyant & Bright

Tangerine tulips and scarlet mums star in this lush table runner anchored by hydrangeas and silver dollar eucalyptus. Filled out with rose hips and privet berries, the artfully short display suits the day’s spirit of togetherness.
