Pumpkin Bouquet

Hey everyone!

I’ve got another fun DIY project that’s perfect for this time of the year. This cute pumpkin arrangement will look super cute on the front step when trick or treaters come, and it’s also a great centerpiece for Holiday gatherings! 

Here’s what you’ll need to make this: 

  • Pumpkin from the produce department, hollowed out 
  • Enough wet floral foam to fill the pumpkin
  • One package of cash and carry Fall Floral Mum
  • One stem of baby’s breath
  • Mixed Greens
  • Hyacinth stake to hold pumpkin top on the bouquet
  • Scissors or floral knife

Have fun mixing all your favorite fall colors to make this project your own. The possibilities are endless! Have a great Halloween!

DIY – Fall Mums

Fall is just starting to show in the trees, and we have a whole bunch of gorgeous fall decor in stores already! One of my favorite Fall flowers is mums. They add a splash of color and are really fun to dress up to make them even more festive. 

In this arrangement I used a variety of items, all of which you can pick up at the floral department in any of our stores. If your store doesn’t have a full floral department, you can probably find most of these items at a local craft store too! 

What you’ll need is:

  • Mums (indoor or outdoor and any color) 
  • Tin bucket, or other decorative pot, large enough to fit mum inside
  • Floral foam 
  • Wired ribbon
  • Scissor
  • Flexible wire 
  • Cattails 
  • Lotus pod
  • Midelino sticks 

The trickiest part is making the ribbon into the bow. Just take your time with it! Going slow and steady will make it turn out the best. And you can always start over if needed too! 

I hope you enjoy dressing up your fall mums!
