Fall Wedding Flower Trends

Greenery and Foliage

All green and majority green bouquets and centerpieces have been in vogue for a few years now and that trend even applies to fall weddings. Wreaths, garlands, and green bouquets are excellent additions to a fall wedding whether you are decorating the aisles for the ceremony, adding accent decor to the reception, or complementing or replacing the centerpieces at the dinner tables. Plus, you can incorporate all your favorite fall foliage from dusty miller to baby blue eucalyptus.

Seasonal Flowers

Autumn offers some wonderful seasonal flowers to choose from. While you shouldn’t feel bottled in picking from only seasonal fall flowers, you should definitely consider them. Popular in-season fall flowers include dahlias, zinnias, and garden roses.

Choose a Unique Color Palette

Fall weddings are great because you can select from a seemingly endless range of color palettes and you make it work. While burnished foliage, burgundy, and burnt orange blooms will seem natural, don’t feel limited. Fall weddings can accommodate pastel hues, bold and beautiful primaries, classic white and ivory combinations, and creative ideas like color-blocked palettes.

Vintage Influences

Fall feels like a nostalgic season. The changing color of trees naturally invokes a feeling of melancholy and remembering the past. It’s particularly suited to vintage and retro touches. If you aren’t going for a full vintage wedding theme, you can still incorporate a lot of vintage touches that complement whichever theme you’re going for.

Flowers for Fall Weddings

Jasmine

If you love the idea of leaving an alluring fragrance behind as you make your way down the aisle, then jasmine may be the flower for you. The scent of jasmine is legendary, and its beauty is delicate and romantic. Jasmine blooms grow on a vine-type plant, so using them in a bouquet or arrangement creates a fanciful, untamed look. Typically jasmine is in season through the early fall.

Andromeda

There’s a certain rustic vibe associated with fall, and it can be a lot of fun to weave this feeling into fall wedding flowers. Andromeda is one of those blooms that can really up the rustic charm of your decor. Andromeda flowers are tiny, bell-shaped blooms that dangle from delicately twisting branches and look beautiful woven into a bundle of autumn blooms.

Garden Rose

Fall brides who love the look of peonies should give some thought to using garden roses instead. Unlike standard roses which have a much more structured and rigid look, garden roses are soft, lush, and frilly, much like peonies. Another plus is that they come in a wide variety of shades and you can get them at a much lower price than peonies.

Alstroemeria

The graceful alstroemeria has a sassy, speckled appearance. This flower is often used alongside other blooms, but can also work well on its own. It’s scentless, so is a good choice if you’re concerned with keeping fragrance to a minimum. Alstroemeria typically comes in shades of pink, purple, yellow, white, orange, and red.

Coxcomb

If you search for which flowers are in season during the fall, you may miss this beauty; it’s a somewhat unexpected, but absolutely striking choice. To add a rich, luxurious feel to a bouquet or centerpiece incorporate some coxcomb (also known as celosia). These flowers have a velvety appearance and come in some stunningly saturated hues (think fuchsia, coral, pink, mustard, and orange).

Sunflower

You don’t get much more traditionally fall than the sunflower. Sunflowers are big, bright, bold and they always put a smile on everyone’s face. They tend to be a little less stuffy than some of the traditional wedding flowers, and you can actually find them in some shades you may not have seen before. An arrangement of sunflowers in shades of yellow, orange, burgundy, gold, red, and brown is the epitome of fall splendor.

Black Cosmos

Anyone who wants to add a touch of deep, dark elegance to their wedding flowers will adore black cosmos, sometimes called chocolate cosmos. Due to their rich, broody color, you don’t need a lot of these beauties to create a major impact. They come in varying degrees of color (dark reddish-brown to almost black) but are all quite spectacular.
