My inspiration for this design comes from the utmost authority on palette and texture, Mother Nature. During autumn, boldly colored blooms coordinate with the season’s abundant fruits and vegetables. We are immersed in a chorus of garnet, copper, amber, rust, crimson, chestnut, bittersweet, clove, olive, and maize. For a fall wreath, I selected florets and foliage that dry well to form a long-lasting base that can be infused with fresh flowers again and again. I included a new favorite, the strawflower, because it maintains its shape and vivid color for a long time, making it an ideal element for low-maintenance wreaths.
