A few weeks ago, my OH’s sister got married. For the floral decorations, we decorated the venue with dried flowers. They were beautiful! And I had my eye on a few to use at home after the day was over. The thing about dried flowers is that they last, so when pennies are tight & you can’t afford fresh flowers, these work a treat. Here’s how I used them.

These fit perfectly in the beer bottle in front of the fireplace in my study. (Please ignore the blue towel that the fireplace is resting on! It needs a spruce before being attached to the wall!)

I’m always looking for flowers to go in this vintage jug, but you need a lot of flowers to make them look effective. I love the oranges against the green of the walls.

Nothing says autumn to me like gourds! I love having them in the house & keep them as long as possible. They’re so festive & manage to brighten up any space. Try it!

I love the colour these bring, which is important at this time of year when it feels so much darker all the time. How do you decorate your home in autumn?
