How to Create a Fall Flower Arrangement (the Easy Way!)
Say hello to autumn in bloom! 🍁
Grab a Polish Pottery flower frog or small vase insert, and head outside for a few colorful branches or leaves. Then swing by Trader Joe’s for a few fresh blooms—think roses, lilies, and anything orange or rust-toned.
Start by placing your leaves for shape, tuck in larger flowers, and fill gaps with smaller stems. The secret? Mix textures and heights for that effortless “just-gathered-from-the-garden” look. Instant centerpiece magic!
