Making stunning floral pumpkin centerpieces

[@observer4497]

This is only the 2nd video of yours that I have watched and I can tell you that I am In aww of your keen eye and talent for making flower arrangements! They are all so colorful and unlike anything I’ve ever seen before..Fantastic job.

[@floristsonfarms]

Thank you for your kind words! I have been in and around the flower business all my life; but the past few years designing from my farm is the most thrilling experience in floristry that I have ever had! Looking forward to sharing so much more of my knowledge and all the beautiful things via this channel!

[@mienkedezoete2146]

Amazing 🤩 You’ve taken pumpkin arrangements to a whole new level!

[@floristsonfarms]

Thanks for your kind words! Which colour is your favourite?

[@gardenfunwithjane4897]

Super clever to use the lid. Last season was my first time making pumpkin arrangements. I really loved working with the white or cream pumpkins. Now i need to try pink and different unique speciality pumpkins. Your arrangements are ❤️ beautiful

[@floristsonfarms]

Work smarter, not harder, right? 😝 I love the white and cream ones too! I just didn’t get many of those this year! I actually really love those little white baby boo pumpkins, one of my favourites! I do those ones up too as pumpkin minis with dried flowers/succulents etc. - they are very cute!

[@gardenfunwithjane4897]

@@floristsonfarms I've never thought to use the minis 🤔

[@floristsonfarms]

Believe it or not, this was the first year I offered a large pumpkin design to my customers! I’ve done mini pumpkins for several years, even white ones for Christmas when I’ve had extras left over

Beautiful arrangements. The pumpkin floral displays are out of this world. I love watching you create. Thank you for sharing.

Lovely! Hello from Nova Scotia. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@floristsonfarms]

Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving to you too! How’s the growing season over there?

[@everafterflowerfarm]

Oh wow! Our peony foliage just turns brown and icky.

[@floristsonfarms]

Ooh please tell me more! Does it just go from normal green and straight to brown, nothing in between??

[@sunniesflowerco]

Just gorgeous! Would love to see a full tutorial on how you wrap, looks much different than anything I've seen!

[@floristsonfarms]

Ooh great idea! I will definitely do that! Thanks so much for popping in with your request 🥰

[@kelliheiser7051]

Did you do any prep to the pumpkin before placing the vessel inside? Customer complained pumpkin smelled after 3-4 days?

[@floristsonfarms]

The vessel needs to be tightly wedged into the pumpkin. Beyond that, it’s a pumpkin and quite perishable, so some customer education will help in that regard; and also it’s intended purpose - these are sold for their Thanksgiving weekend celebrations, not to be long lasting decor arrangements. I also tell my customers that once the pumpkin starts to go they can pull the flowers out to make a little arrangement or bud vases :)

[@christie-leeharris1456]

Love your design style! What are the cylinder red flowers called? Is it a type of amaranth?

[@floristsonfarms]

Thank you! I’m guessing you are asking about the “Elephant Head” amaranthus?

[@everafterflowerfarm]

Hi! Thank you for the video! Could you share what container you used in the pumpkins for water?

[@floristsonfarms]

For sure! For myself I would just use a glass vessel and cut the hole to size; but for my client pumpkins I used cheap plastic storage containers 😄

[@allisonbusa8781]

What’s the name of the red dahlia from your hoop house?

[@floristsonfarms]

I have a few but I think you’re probably seeing the red ball dahlia? That one is Cornel

[@everafterflowerfarm]

OH my goodness what is that burgundy spike in the bouquet, if you don't mind?! Is it some sort of amaranth? Google has not been helpful. Lol!

[@floristsonfarms]

That’s right! It’s Elephant Head amaranthus 😄
