Festive blooms & holiday cheer

With the holiday season just around the corner, now is the perfect time to infuse your home with festive cheer through vibrant, locally sourced floral arrangements. Kim Epley, artistic director at The Studio at Farmer Blue, draws inspiration from the natural beauty of her 12-acre sustainable cut-flower farm in Seabrook to create stunning designs. Here’s her ideal November arrangement, showcasing the best blooms of the season.


Why it works

Fan favorite: Ranunculus, a Lowcountry staple, offers stunning, long-lasting blooms that transform from tightly closed buds to delicate, vintage-inspired flowers.

Perfect timing: Often overlooked for their fragrance, modern hybrid lilies are both scent-free and pollen-free, making them an ideal choice. They thrive in the region and can be perfectly timed for a November harvest.

Supportive star: Chrysanthemums, or “mums,” are affordable and locally abundant, offering a versatile range of colors and shapes, including Pom Poms, Spiders and daisy varieties.

Nostalgic elegance: This charming heirloom vase elevates the display, bringing a touch of history that lets the vibrant flowers shine, creating a perfect blend of vintage and contemporary style.


Design tips

Celebrate fall’s rich colors by incorporating seasonal elements like pumpkins, fruit or gourds.

Use your floral arrangement to inspire your holiday table, matching your menu with the bouquet’s palette.

Get creative with vessels — Kim’s clients have used everything from colorful cereal bowls to antique containers for their centerpieces.
