Flower crowns are nostalgic because they have connotations of childhood days in the park, collecting up little flowers and looping them together. They’re a wistful link to hot summer days of the past when a daisy chain, balanced akimbo on your head, would complete your outfit in the playground.

An Autumn wedding adds a date to be excited about, in between the slow fading away of Summer and the merry twinkling of Christmas. When Summer's come to an end, I look forward to Autumn bringing ambers, mustard yellows, burnt reds, textured seed heads, dusky dried leaves, and rose hips.

Having cut flowers in your home brings freshness and life from the outside in. Putting flowers in a vase is a great opportunity to reignite your creative skills. It’s always satisfying to rediscover your flare for design when it’s been lying dormant since your cutting and glueing years in infant school.
