The ultimate autumn palette

Autumn stands for warmth and cosiness. This is reflected in the flower colours chosen. From warm orange, fresh green to deep red, the autumn palette is complete. This autumn, we love using dried flowers in combination with fresh flowers. In this wreath, we have used physalis, scabiosa, serruria, hypericum, dahlia, chrysanthemum, aster, verge and tree branches. 

A playful combination

Combining dried flowers with real flowers creates a playful feel. The dried flowers provide the base, and you can finish it off with real flowers. Have the fresh flowers come to the end of their life? Then remove them from the wreath and replace them with new flowers. Some species are even suitable for drying
