Festive Fall Designs
When it comes to the changing of the seasons, there's nothing more stirring than when summer fades into fall. We transition into the cooler weather with rich, saturated colors and riveting textures. These warmer hues often play up the excitement of the season; plus, falling temps means we all have an excuse to bring ‘more’ of nature indoors. Fall is a time for all of these things, and for Protea (especially Pink Ice), making it the ideal time to let the autumn vibes flow with captivating festive designs.
Turning an ordinary arrangement into a ‘seasonal gathering’ is as easy as focusing on the accents you're bringing into it. Are you adding colors into your design that creates a warm and inviting aura? Concentrate, on the elements needed to achieve the look from Protea, Banksia and Grevillea, to Leucadendron and other fabulous fall foliage. How can you add an extra texture to the centerpiece?
In this season of abundance, there are so many wonderful options. You’ll also want to be sure to make full use of those richly colored fruit that flourish during this time of the year. Persimmons, pomegranates, apples or any other produce can be added to the arrangement or simply displayed off to the side to deliver more of an autumnal ambiance, while bringing even more nature inside to enjoy.

Pomegranate – The Tree of Life
Did you know many scholars believe pomegranate to be the true biblical Tree of Life, and that it was actually a pomegranate fruit, not an apple, that Eve enjoyed?
The English word ‘pomegranate’ is from Latin ‘pomum granatum’ which means ‘apple of many seeds.’ Because of their many seeds, this fruit has been associated with love, fertility and abundance. And, the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite, is credited in Greek mythology with planting the first tree. The pomegranate appears as a romantic symbol in sonnets and literature dating back centuries.
So naturally, now that pomegranate season is upon us it brings a wonderful opportunity to explore some of the amazing decorative possibilities of this ‘sinful’, yet sensuous fruit!
