Seasonal Masterpiece

This grouping would work from September to Thanksgiving. Use fall foliage along with berry-laden branches and seasonal fruits on the branch and mix them with fall flowers. For the large arrangement, I chose cattails, pomegranate branches, Chinese lantern, crabapples, ornamental peppers, olive branches, dill, pyracantha, and a lotus seedpod.

The smaller arrangement contains zinnias, callas, millet, and red-dyed solidago. For a centerpiece, surround the arrangement with seasonal fruits and vegetables, such as artichokes, pomegranates, persimmons, sweet potatoes, onions, and acorn squash.
