Gathered style in September

Been having some fun a while ago with some flowers, faded and not, and seedpods

I gathered from the containergarden and arranging them on the table.

It's something new to me because I usually photograph flowers as they are

on the shrub or plant but this time I decided to take it a step further and try to

do a bit of, well, I guess you could call it styling, still in its babyshoes though ;)

 

 

This is what I gathered. All from my containers, except for the lovely Maid-in-the-mist

seedpods which I noticed in the garden, hiding, I never saw them bloom.

 

 

The, although not too big, Dahlia(you can read more about its larger sisters in a previous post ;) )

and the Rose were quickly ommited from the whole thing. They didn't work well to style with.

Too big afterall. I also tore the faded Hydrangea flowers apart and only used some of the petals. 

 

 

This was a first attempt.

 

 

But then the wind wanted to have its say in it and you know what,

I liked it! So this was what I ended up with.

Amazing how little is needed to make a pretty picture, or isn't it?

 

 

But hey, I wanted to use both Rose and Dahlia in the composition as well,

which led to this "wreath decorated" ;)

I know, a bit much maybe

but I didn't mind, still loved it.

 

 

Guess this could be my entry for GGBD September at once.

So what's blooming or has faded into something beautiful in your garden in September?

 

 

Have a lovely week everyone!
