Fall Florals in Alexandria: Pumpkins, Wreaths, and Seasonal Workshops at Helen Olivia

It’s fall y’all!  Channeling the magic of the season at Helen Olivia. 

There’s something about fall in Alexandria—the crisp air, the golden leaves, and the aroma of pumpkin spiced everything. At Helen Olivia, we love the fall season, and are so excited to share some of our latest and greatest.  

This year, we’re bringing back the famed floral pumpkin in two palettes: a soft, neutral option for those who love muted creams, peaches, and sage greens, and a more vibrant palette filled with fiery oranges and pinks. Perfect for a dining table centerpiece or as a thoughtful seasonal gift.

For the botanical lovers, we have a host of new planters for the season including fall orchids and fun skull planters. They make a great hostess gift (or a treat for yourself).

Our fall wreath collection has also expanded. Think lush red maple leaf wreaths, golden aspen leaf wreaths, textural maize leaf wreaths, and timeless boxwood—all dressed up with seasonal bows. These wreaths strike the perfect balance between festive and elegant, and they’ll carry you from October straight through Thanksgiving.

Workshops at Helen Olivia always sell out fast, and this year is no exception. While the in-studio classes are already gone, we just launched two virtual events: Virtual Thanksgiving Cornucopia and Virtual Thanksgiving Long & Low

It’s the perfect way to join in from home and create something beautiful for your holiday table.

Fall only comes once a year, and at Helen Olivia, we’re making sure it’s unforgettable!
