Hooray for Fall Foliage!

 

Over the weekend, I got to do something I rarely get to do: arrange flowers for the fun of it. A friend of a friend is starting an event planning business and asked if I would provide some autumn-inspired bouquets for a photo shoot. Getting to peruse the wholesaler without any guidelines but my own taste is just a hoot for me. And the fall offerings right now? Off the hook! The berries and branches, vines and blooms are to die for. I've never used those tangerine colored Ilex berries before - probably because those babies aren't cheap, but every one in a while a creative splurge is totally worth it, don't you think?
