{fall inspired florals}
On a recent trip to Whole Foods, I could not help myself, but to pick up all these amazing dark fall florals. Our local Whole Foods usually gets some pretty boring selections in the flower department so when I spotted these lotus pods, hypernicum berry and thistle (all on sale!) I just knew I had to put something together! I threw in a bunch of deep pink spray roses to give it a little femininity and pop of color.
I know it's been all over pinterest, but the first person I saw make an arrangement in a hollowed out pumpkin was my mother when I was in grade school and I remember thinking at the time that it was just about the coolest thing I had ever seen. I picked up three of these "pie" pumpkins also from Whole foods, hollowed them out and then popped a small glass vase in each one. I am sure you could skip the vase part, but I was concerned the pumpkins would get super soggy within a day- these ones are still going strong about 4 days later.
Be sure to check back tomorrow to see the full tablescape that went along with these arrangements!

Good to know! I did these for a cocktail party a few weeks ago, but was scared to use a pie pumpkin because the shells are softer. Your arrangement looks really pretty!
