Yes, the tray is important. It grounds your arrangement and adds additional interest. I use vintage wood or tarnished silver trays, marble or rattan like this $15 one. The scallop edge adds additional charm. I’m using the new Target vase and fall dahlias plus a Michael’s filler stem, in similar tones, in my arrangement. These are all $5 stems. Add your florals at different heights and pull a few strands of the seed stems forward for a natural, loose style. LTKSeasonal LTKHome LTKvlog
