Bring the beauty of the autumn harvest to your table with Clippings Floral Design’s Fall Cornucopia Centrepiece. Fill a wicker cornucopia with an assortment of small pumpkins, gourds, colorful leaves, and sunflowers. Add a few pinecones and berries for extra texture and color.
What You Will Need
🍂 Fresh sunflowers
🍂 Fresh fall leaves
🍂 Other autumnal flowers (chrysanthemums, marigolds, dahlias, asters)
🍂 Cornucopia basket
🍂 Floral foam
🍂 Strong pair of scissors or pruning shears
🍂 Optional: small pumpkins, gourds, berries
How to Assemble
- Soak the floral foam in water until it is fully saturated. Place the foam inside a plastic dish or liner, then place into the cornucopia basket.
- Begin by inserting fresh fall leaves into the floral foam, creating a base layer. Arrange the leaves to spread out and cover the foam.
- Trim the stems of the sunflowers to the desired length and insert them into the floral foam.
- Trim the stems of your other autumnal flowers and insert them into the floral foam.
- Check for any gaps or spaces in the arrangement. Fill these with additional fall leaves, small pumpkins, gourds, or berries.
