Harvest Pedestal Arrangement

Harvest pedestal arrangement set within Thaxted Church, Essex.

For this Harvest arrangement I used autumnal colours such as yellows, oranges and rustic reds and browns. One day, I went on a walk scavenging for wild berries and foliage's to incorporate into my pedestal arrangement, I collected Hawthorne, blackberry brambles, rose hip branches, teasels, acorn branches and grass heads. For the flowers I used yellow Gladioli to create the outline shape, and lilies for the main focal flower. The other flowers were orange mini Gerbera's, yellow spray Chrysanthemum's and sunflowers to create depth within the arrangement. To finish it off, I tied at the top of the pedestal stand a rustic red long piece of material and wrapped it round the stand and drapped the remaining material around the base of the pedestal arrangement. Lastly, I positioned harvest vegetables such as marrows, courgettes and butternut squash with pine cones, conkers and acorns to one side at the base of the arrangement.
