Plum tones have this incredible way of feeling both gothic and seasonal at the same time. This cascade arrangement leans into that overlap beautifully. It is one of those rare pieces that feels intentional rather than trendy.

The cascade design flows about 20 inches from the base, ideal for elevated centerpiece stands. Florals include plum dahlias, burgundy mums, and deep green eucalyptus. The mix gives it real dimension instead of looking flat.
