Farmhouse Fall Centerpiece DIY

Here’s an unusual twist on a Farmhouse Fall Centerpiece. This gorgeous bouquet includes a gorgeous rich color of purple flowers. I’ll show how I designed this floral arrangement step-by-step.

I tend to shy away from using the traditional colors for fall. I find it more of a challenge to design centerpieces that have surprising color combinations. Rich fall colors are what dominate my floral arrangement today. The purple cabbage and hydrangeas signal the end of summer and celebrate autumn.

If you are here for the first time, welcome!

This week includes a Thanksgiving 3-Day Series with my dear friends. Here is the week’s line-up:

Monday – Thanksgiving DIY

Tuesday – Thanksgiving Recipe

Wednesday – Thanksgiving Table Reveal.

You see my friend’s projects in the photos and links below.

In the meantime, if you are looking for Thanksgiving inspiration, then here are a few other posts that may interest you.

Farmhouse Fall Centerpiece DIY

I did find some unusual flowers at the San Francisco Flower Market. And in this tutorial, I linked to a few that you can find online. I immediately fell in love with the unusual Brunia Berries. The cool thing about these branches and the beautiful hydrangeas is that you can preserve them and use them in their dried state!

Directions to create a Farmhouse Fall Centerpiece:

Step 1 – Choose Your Container

I always have a boatload of glass and white vases on hand. For this arrangement, I used my white soup tureen. I plopped a metal frog in the tureen to hold the flowers.

Step 2 – Fill Vase with Water and Flower Preserver

Freshwater mixed with a flower preserver is a must. I did a little experiment with flowers and found some fun results. Here is the post if you are interested.

Step 3 – Trim Leaves Off Your Flowers

Trimming off the excess leaves helps the life of your blossoms. The branches’ energy no longer goes to the leaves but rather your flower.

Step 4 – Place Your Flowers in the Vase

Refer to the above photo. I place my biggest flowers in first. Here’s the lineup:

  • Four purple hydrangeas – three in the front and one in the back
  • Purple Cabbage – One near the top and one in the back
  • Green Hydrangeas – Place where you need a pop of light color
  • Brunia Berries – Place in between hyrdrangeas and purple cabbage
  • Burgundy Astrantia and Grass Leaved Scabiosa – Dot throughout arrangement.
