Across from my hotel in downtown, there was a small plaza with outdoor seating and these great flat screen TVs. Decorating the plaza were several beautiful, giant fall arrangements.
I loved the scale of the arrangements and the pots. It is hard to make an impact with a design element in the middle of so many tall buildings. The combination of elements - grapevine, mums, pumpkins, branches, flowering cabbage, and more - all fit together so well.
Love, love, love every single part and piece!
I was really impressed with the grapevine "window" and wreathes.
The bamboo poles connecting these two smaller containers were really neat elements that I have never seen before.
The purple and green color combination of flowering cabbage is a favorite. I have a hard time finding this plant and I think it is because I look for it at the wrong time of the growing season. I really want to try to incorporate this in next year's fall containers. I also would really like to actually plant my fall containers instead of just letting the summer plants play out.
Love the pumpkins tucked into the arrangements.
Love the drape they achieved for this combination.
The Loft restaurant that I blogged about earlier also had some great fall arrangements - both hanging baskets and large containers. The containers had these stacks of rolled birch bark that were just stunning. I am seriously thinking about how to use this for winter arrangements this year.
One of the best things about travel is finding inspiration in unexpected places. I am blessed.
