Autumn flower arrangements take full advantage of the crisp and calm feelings of fall. Earthy tones, rustic textures, and seasonal accoutrements exemplify the spirit of autumn. Flower arrangements for this season are fun and festive.

Here are some ideas for autumn flower arrangements that you can make on your own:

• Pompons are a favorite fall flower. Use the full gamut of mum styles in warm colors like red, yellow and orange. Try yellow button pompons, red daisy pompons, and orange spider mums. Mix and match to fit your mood.
• Autumn flower arrangements are known for their unique and creative extras. With just a hand-full of flowers, you can create a masterpiece by adding dried fruits or vegetables, acorns, or miniature pumpkins. Let your imagination roam freely; you'll be amazed with the results.
• Fill a cornucopia with red asters and with statice in yellow, orange and apricot hues. Pepper the arrangement with harvest wheat.
• Sunflowers are appropriate almost year round. Mix one or two trimmed sunflowers with the rest of your bouquet for added personality and charm.
• Crisp and vibrant, autumn leaves can be truly magical. Rather than using the traditional greens, dress up an arrangement with this time-appropriate addition.
• In a low wicker basket, arrange a bed of subtle greens. Add to this an abundance of red hypericum berries for a rich and full fall arrangement born from simplicity.
• For a holiday event or party, adorn tables with festive and striking alstroemeria in red and yellow, with yellow and gold tipped calla lilies, with crimson stock, and with orange and peach roses for sophisticated autumn flower arrangements.
• Combine blonde wheat in a wicker basket arrangement of yellow roses, statice, stock, and lilies. Scatter miniature pumpkins for effect and color. Tie a raffia bow around the base or the handle of the basket.

Autumn colors are spectacular. Your event can capture the subtle scent of seasons changing and create new memories with unique and beautiful autumn flower arrangements.
