of the month
autumn
gathering
A basketful of blossoms
reflects the bounty and beauty of the season.
Design by Walter Fedyshyn, AIFD, PFCI
As the casual lull of warm summer days gives way to the
hum of autumn activity, customers will delight in arrangements
that capture the essence of the seasons. This traditional
gathering basket, filled with a mix of fall fare, reflects the
subtle transition from summer to autumn and would be splendid on
tabletops and even appropriate for sympathy services.
It’s crafted in a traditional gathering basket and arranged
to appear as if freshly harvested florals have been casually
laid within. However, the golden blossoms are arranged into one
end of a foam cage while their stems are arranged into the
other. Soft, pliable foliages and fluffy Queen Anne’s lace add a
light, wispy effect and reinforce the design’s uncontrived
appearance.
MATERIALS:
‘Mango’ miniature callas from CallaCo; Dahlias from
Farmers’ West Flowers & Bouquets, Inc.; sunflowers, daisy spray
and “football” chrysanthemums, Queen Anne’s lace, lily grass and
other foliages from favorite suppliers; basket from Giftwares
Co.; Tribute Cage® Holder from Oasis® Floral Products; Wrapsit
Floral Ties from Syndicate Sales, Inc.

How to 1

looping a zip tie through the basket’s weaving and
through the hole at the end of the plastic cage. Pull
tight to secure.
