Flower arrangements in autumn: 11 sensational compositions to consider copying

When you think of the riot of flowers that nature can give us, the colours of autumn can take your breath away with its colors reflected in the foliage. There are plants that give their best in this season, just before the dormant phase of winter.

So, we must not believe that, with the end of summer, we are necessarily about to enter a long, sad and bleak period: we can enjoy wonderful, rich plant and flower compositions during this season too. Here are some examples of really beautiful flower arrangements to draw inspiration from:

The arrangement of the leaves in these cabbages recalls those of opened roses, and so they can become the focus at the center of a composition, combined with more subtle elements surrounding them.

Generally three or four main elements are chosen, then they can be enriched with different varieties to harmoniously fill out the whole composition.

All the variety that flower in the other seasons give us, is replaced by infinite variables of less showy, but equally spectacular, leaves and flowers in autumn. And often, similar color shades are distributed on plants with completely different shapes.

The deep, purple tones of some species feel like autumn (and maybe even Halloween), and go very well with greens and whites.

But there are also absolutely stunning graded shades of the same color, which shifts attention to the overall shape of the arrangement.

Autumn is the period for a second flowering of many flowering species - or it's the season when late varieties appear that embellish gardens and balconies right up to the start of winter.

Dark greens, oranges, reds, deep purples and violets: if you think about it, these are brushstrokes of colors that you only find at this time of the year.

And how about the combination of auburn shades with silvery foliage? Or flowers that turn from violet to blue? They are really amazing!

Obviously, the vase also contributes a lot to the final result of a composition: shape, color and material can be matched to the composition with a bit of thought.

It is really worth going to a nursery to try out some of these ideas, don't you think?
