Our Seasonal Transitions Floral Design series invites you to design during some of the most fascinating and inspiring moments of the year—when the seasons change from one to the other.
In this final class of the series, embrace the quiet beauty of the transition from fall to winter—a time when the landscape shifts to earthy tones, sculptural branches, and richly textured botanicals. Guided by expert floral designer Roseann Christian, create a striking arrangement that blends the warmth of autumn with the stark elegance of winter. Work with a seasonal palette and textural elements to reflect the changing season. Explore how to balance structure and softness, and how to use contrast in color and texture to evoke seasonal shift. You'll leave with a thoughtful design that captures the essence of late autumn giving way to winter—perfect for bringing seasonal charm into your home.
