Fall Centerpieces

Had so much creative juice at the shop this weekend working on many different projects. Here's one that was particularly fun. Mini pumpkins, orchids, succulents, artichokes, sunflowers make up this fun table piece for a dinner party. Mum is not the word here @ April Flowers. We're using fresh and eclectic mixes to keep things well...interesting! Happy Fall!

An alternative to mums

I heart succulents. They have so much texture and personality. What a great alternative to a mum plant for fall. Rich greens, browns and eggplant tones offer up the warm colors we all love at this time of year. Succulents are also so resilient! A side story for you...My father-in-law has them growing like weeds in his yard. Last year I had him clip some and bring them up for me to use in a wedding. Not only did they look great after a days worth of travel but I planted the stubby stems that were left and a year later I have my own succulent garden. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
