Autumn Vases

The golden hues of autumn need to be celebrated. From the browns of foliage to the orange and pinks of dahlia blossoms, everywhere you look it’s like a postcard. And I love seeing the corn and pumpkins in the garden. So why not combine the two for a beautiful autumn vase, to make an amazing centrepiece (you would not know but the dahlia is faux!).
