Fall flowers bring an air of elegant celebration to any wedding hosted during this delightful season. As those nuptial bells ring, you want to have the perfect autumn flowers surrounding you and your loved ones.
You have plenty of options when it comes to fall wedding flower arrangements. Here are seven of the best choices to consider before your big day this fall:
Perhaps the most autumnal flower out there is the marigold. With their warm hues, they can complement any fall scenery or event, and your wedding is no exception.
Marigolds are in season starting in September, and they bloom beautifully. You can find them in various shades of yellow, red, and orange during this time. You can even find brown-tinted marigolds to keep your color palette consistent with the seasonal theme.
Dahlia flowers are stunning decorations for fall weddings. Their petals feature gorgeous gradients that can bloom in yellow, red, orange, and cream colors, making them the perfect addition to your autumn celebration of love.
Many fall brides choose dahlias for either their own or their wedding party’s bouquets. Their distinct shape adds visual interest to any arrangement.
Add darker dahlias, such as crimson-colored blooms that look black, into each bouquet to accentuate the brighter hues of the yellows, reds, and oranges.
Chrysanthemums are known for more than just their long, unique name. Think of them as dahlia alternatives with more slender petal shapes and a more budget-friendly price. They add visual texture and uniqueness to fall floral arrangements, whether they’re present at wedding tables or in handheld bouquets.
These beauties come in many distinct colors and even shapes, depending on when they’re picked. Popular chrysanthemum colors for fall weddings include ivory, burgundy, and gold, as well as plum purple, red, and cream shades.
Remember when schoolmates could send each other anonymous carnations on Valentine’s Day? Including carnations on your wedding day pays homage to this romantic, youthful tradition. You can find carnations in beautiful autumnal colors like cream, ivory, blush, orange, and yellow.
Carnations add a similar texture and visual appeal to weddings as roses, but with different petal structures. They’re also very affordable, so if you’re tying the knot on a strict budget, consider carnations for your florals this fall.
Don’t forget the romantic classic: roses. They don’t have to be red to be breathtakingly beautiful on your wedding day. Consider getting roses dyed to match your wedding’s fall color scheme.
Shades like dusty rose, cream, terracotta, and burgundy will accentuate the rest of your decor. Add a touch of classic romance to your big day with custom roses this season.
Amaranthus works well as an addition to any cascading bouquets or floral drapery in your wedding scenery. This floral comes in plenty of fall-centric colors like purple, burgundy, red, and various shades of brown. Its vine-like shape flows beautifully around other florals and set structures at your wedding, like beams and bushes.
Amaranthus has a unique texture, which translates visually to add interest to your floral arrangements. Bridesmaids can carry this long floral as an accent to other flowers in a bouquet.
Their fanning petals look similar to marigolds and dahlias, but zinnias bring their own design elements to your fall wedding. The ruffled texture that zinnias offer to any bouquet or floral arrangement makes them ideal accents for wedding tables and ceremony decor.
Zinnias come in an array of stunning fall colors, including:
You can create almost any color palette with these beautiful flowers, and their visual textures are the icing on the (wedding) cake.
