You can achieve a very attractive and fey look by introducing small lights into your arrangements. Small decorative strings of cool LED lights can be found at most craft and big-box stores. Incorporating these lights into the flowers themselves, or winding them artfully around the container creates a look of soft fantasy. It’s delightful and perfect for low light environments and events.

Dried Botanicals. Try incorporating some dried elements into your arrangement.

Chinese lantern plant, silver dollar plant, pencil cattail, strawflowers, dried herbs – these are all beautiful additions to any design and they create a distinct pleasant aroma.

Incorporating the look and scent of cinnamon sticks and vanilla beans is also alluring.Autumn’s Cornucopia.
