Fall branches and accents


Fall brings us the opportunity to work with fabulous autumn leaves and branches to create fun, seasonal arrangements. Autumnal foliages such as pin oak, ninebark, magnolia, viburnum, and smokebush add great seasonal color. Branches and berries round out the color selection: bittersweet vine, manzanita, dogwood, huck, ilex and witchhazel are are fall favorites. Shown above are two tall statement arrangements that are striking examples utilizing fall branches and accents.
