Celebrate Fall's New Beginnings

The colors of Inspiration and Motivation

Key color choices: Red epitomizes motivation, fame, courage and power, says Jayme Barrett. Design an up-shooting spray that also includes sensuous, rich orange and fuchsia, which suggest enthusiasm and exuberance.

Vase style: A tall mirrored container boosts positive energies and bring good luck, which will circulate through all endeavors, Barrett maintains, adding that shiny containers of any kind will stoke inspiration.

In the home: After your party is over, take the energy elsewhere! The home office is an ideal place to inject motivational energy, says Barrett. "Anyone will feel encouraged to reach for the stars and live life to the fullest."

Her suggested flower options: Roses, callas, Asiatic lilies, snapdragons, and hypericum

In the photo above, bright orange roses and cheerful orange Peruvian lilies (alstroemeria) form a lively bouquet.
