Now that fall is upon us, it’s time to think about holiday decorating and entertaining. The design experts at Walter Knoll Florist have put together some great ideas for your fall tablescape this season.
Play with lighting. Whether you carve mini-pumpkins to use as tea light votives, or include rustic lanterns across your table, the unique use of light will undoubtedly create a warm, inviting vibe for you and your guests to enjoy.
Instead of carving pumpkins, paint them in stylish colors and scatter across your table. Use colors that complement your table settings, like gold, silver or bronze, for an upscale spin on traditional fall decor.
Place a tall vase at the center of your table or buffet with long bare branches, dried grasses, wheat, moss, squash and smaller pumpkins for a festive twist on a traditional centerpiece. Read More about Autumn Brought Right To Your Table »

The natural world is a synergistic system, in which the individual components rely on each other for survival. The insects need flowers for food, the flowers need the insects for pollination, and in turn, humans need the bees to sustain our food supply. Because we are all so interconnected, it only makes sense for us to help support the bees and butterflies by providing them with a safe haven. (Not to mention, watching them work is fascinating!) At Walter Knoll Florist, you'll find all the floral expertise you need to plan your very own Saint Louis butterfly garden for your patio or backyard.
But Won't I Get Stung? Honeybees are experiencing a critical loss of population. By providing honeybees with a garden to gather nectar and pollen, you will be assisting them in their fight for survival. But honeybees at work are generally uninterested in stinging anyone, and as long as you leave them alone, there should be no danger. Read More about Butterflies, Bees & Flower Gardens »

Here at Walter Knoll Florist, we love dogs. In fact, as a pet-friendly shop, it is not uncommon for us to have four or five dogs come to visit us every day. Because of our love for our puppies, we admire efforts such as National Puppy Day that aim to make life better for animals.
Established 10 years ago by Colleen Paige - who is also the pet-lover behind National Dog Day and National Cat Day - this latest effort was meant to bring attention to the issue of puppy mills for-profit breeders and to encourage people to adopt puppies from shelters instead. There are over 70,000 puppies born annually in the United States, and approximately 1.4 million dogs are surrendered to shelters each year. National Puppy Day seeks to educate families on the great need to give homes to these lovable animals who are hoping for a forever home.
