I love the combination of all the different pink Dahlias and Chrysanthemums in contrast with silver grey and a few stronger colours as accents. The Dahlias and the chrysanthemums are grouped tightly together in an old galvanized zinc container for maximum effect.
I have also used two different chrysanthemums. A light pink with a dark centre and a deeper pink matching the dark centre of the lighter one.
Dahlias and chrysanthemums are perfect to use for the dining table, the living room or the hallway. Remember to condition the flowers before arranging them and strip all the leaves off below the water line.
Chrysanthemums can last for two weeks or longer and the Dahlias lasts for about a week.

The show stoppers are two large pink Dahlias.
The beauty of flowers are often in the details.
A girl can never have too many pink beads!
A hurricane lamp to brighten up the autumn evening.
The pretty design of leaves and flowers is on the cover of a book of poems by Charles Baudelaire.
If using the flower arrangement for a table setting you can use matching or contrasting colours. I have used darker shades but kept the pink and grey theme with a few contrasts.
The two fabrics are both vintage, one is from Sweden the other English. The grey fabric with a floral pattern in the weave is old ticking from Sweden and the pink is an old Laura Ashley fabric that I have saved for twenty five years! You know the thinking - "Just in case, it might come in handy one day."
Have a wonderful autumn day!
