A little autumn colour

There is something lovely about the change from bright summer colours to the warmer shades of autumn. Rust, plum and soft gold sit happily together, while a little green foliage keeps the whole arrangement feeling fresh.

For an autumn table, start with one colour you love rather than trying to include every shade of the season. A deep burgundy flower can be the starting point, with lighter petals around it to give the arrangement a softer finish.

A simple jug or a favourite vase is often all you need. Leave a little space between the stems so their shapes can be enjoyed from every side.
