An Autumn ‘heaven in a bowl’ arrangement

An airy, colourful ‘heaven in a bowl’ autumn arrangement, to bring colour and life to the indoors where you’re bound to be much more this month.

My obsession with nasturtiums is still going strong and miraculously I still have some left even after the slugs have gone to town on them.

Using just four flower ingredients -
Nasturtiums
Pelargonium
Acidanthera
Cosmos

I love a footed bowl (we have some in the shop here). I love the way the flowers spill onto the table making it a little more wild and free.

Simply add water to the bowl and pop a medium sized flower frog ( we sell them here but you can get easily).

Start arranging with the nasturtium leaf first, building your shape, letting them spill out over the side of the bowl and spiking them onto the frog as you go. Order wise, I generally add the biggest flowers first but there’s no right or wrong here, go with what you’re drawn to.

Don’t feel that you need to cram the bowl full. We want it to feel airy and light and let the flowers be able to move as they age. To make them last as long as you can, keep them away from direct heat - so no radiators please!
