Elevated Autumn Design
Elevated Centrepiece in Autumn Trendy Colours
Time: 31 minutes and 44 seconds | Season: Autumn (can be adapted to other briefs and seasons)
In this tutorial, we’ll break down the techniques and mechanics behind creating an autumnal elevated floral composition — perfect as a dramatic centrepiece or as part of a larger archway installation.
This design showcases the rich tones and textures that are so popular during the autumn season. You’ll learn how to construct the main arrangement for the top of the stand, then extend the colour story with a cascading accent arrangement to draw the eye down the stand, adding balance and movement.
This versatile composition is ideal for weddings, events, or styled shoots — giving you a showstopping design that makes the most of seasonal flowers and foliage.
