Beyond green and red for holiday themes
Holiday floral décor can be as easy as placing some potted poinsettias on your front steps, a wreath on your door and some fresh pine boughs and holly berries around the fireplace mantel. But if you think your holiday color palette is limited to the typical green and red, think again. Poinsettias are available in many shades, including creamy whites, pinks and even orange tones. Surround a large pillar candle with fresh fruits like golden apples and pears, and/or fragrant accents like rosemary and cloves, and fill in with sprigs of fresh cut pine. For a wintertime design, combine silver ribbon, small blue ornaments and white flowers like carnations or paperwhites in a festive basket or planter. Miniature potted pine trees make fun decorations at each place setting.

Harvest hues for autumn accents
For indoor arrangements, use cut chrysanthemums in rich shades of yellow, orange, purple and burgundy. Paint fall color patterns like a simple scarecrow or pumpkins, or even simple abstract patterns like orange and purple stripes, on plain glass vases for your cut flowers and on terra cotta pots for seasonal planters to use every year. Sprinkle fallen leaves from your yard on your table. For outdoor autumn design, cornstalks, pumpkins and hay bales make quick and easy patio themes. Add a small wheelbarrow overflowing with gourds, Indian corn and small tree branches from your own backyard.

Pretty palettes arrive with spring
Daffodils, tulips, crocuses and hyacinths are bright, elegant yet convenient flowers to grow in your garden or in pastel-colored ceramic pots indoors. For a table, wall or door accent, place freshly cut spring flowers around the brim of a straw garden hat. Add chocolate candy, Easter grass or even plastic Easter eggs. Dainty teacups can serve as vases for flowers with small stems, like lily of the valley and pansies for a Mother’s Day tea party. Bundle larger blooms, such as lilies, roses and irises, in a springtime basket display. Forsythia and pussy willow branches found in your yard or woods add height to springtime arrangements.

Summer explodes with dramatic color
Fiery gerbera daisies, exotic orchids and tropical citrus fruits offer endless ideas for summertime designs. Three potted orchids placed in a row on a table runner make a modern and elegant statement. Wheat grass in small square planters makes an easy centerpiece; insert gerbera daisies with water tubes as anchors for a bright picnic table accent. If your outdoor party moves inside, use a large footed glass bowl to hold lemons and limes, and fill in with eucalyptus leaves and juniper sprigs. Growing an indoor herb garden in miniature terra cotta pots doubles as a fresh source for enhancing favorite recipes and as an edible centerpiece for an impromptu summer barbecue.

AP9 essentials, IK9 Essentials encourages you to keep all of your floral projects simple. Complicated projects on design shows and in books can be overwhelming or require expensive flowers and accessories.
