Seasonal Styling: The Mini Pumpkin Arrangement

Autumn is the season of transformation, not just in nature, but in our homes too. The crisp air, vibrant colours, and abundance of seasonal blooms offer the perfect inspiration for creating floral designs that bring warmth and charm to any space.

In our latest First Steps Flowers video, we dive into a fun and festive project: The Mini Pumpkin Arrangement. This simple yet stunning floral design is the perfect way to embrace autumn while adding a personal, creative touch to your home decor. Plus, it makes a fabulous gift!

The star of the show here is, of course, the mini pumpkin. Instead of the traditional pumpkin carving for Spooky Season, I suggest we use it as an unexpected and whimsical vase.

This project is playful yet elegant, giving you a chance to get a little messy while creating something beautiful and truly seasonal.

Our selection of autumnal blooms, including Vienna copper chrysanthemums, amaranthus, and scabiosa seed heads with their deep, warm tones perfectly complement the creamy hues of the pumpkin, giving the arrangement a rich, autumnal feel. Adding helenium, cotinus, and panicum brings depth and texture, while the Fifth Avenue Rose adds a touch of softness and romance to the design.

What I love about this arrangement is how easy it is to personalise. You can experiment with your flower choices and make the arrangement as bold or soft as you like. The result is a gorgeous, simple gift arrangement or centrepiece that radiates the essence of the season. And the best part? It doesn’t take much effort to create something truly eye-catching and fun.

When styling this arrangement, you can place it as a focal point on your dining table, coffee table, or even on a mantel. You could even make several mini pumpkin arrangements to scatter around your home, adding a cohesive, autumn-themed touch to your space. Not only will your home feel extra cozy, but you’ll also have a floral centrepiece that celebrates the season's beauty.

This project is super simple, super seasonal, and offers endless possibilities for creativity. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned floral enthusiast, The Mini Pumpkin Arrangement is a perfect way to kick off your autumn floristry adventures.
