 When
you have a fall wedding, you should let the season influence your
flower choices for wedding centerpieces and bridal bouquets.
Fall touches like vibrantly colored leaves, berries, fruit and other
elements give wedding flowers a seasonal feel.
The
colors of fall are richer and warmer than the colors for any other
season. Dark pink, red, golden yellow, chocolate, peach, orange and
green come together in fall bridal bouquets and flower
arrangements of many different kinds. You
can use fall flower colors and textures to add beauty to fall bridal
bouquets, centerpieces or other wedding flower decorations.
Letting
the season inspire you can be fun and can add a unique quality to
your overall wedding decorations. For ways to make your
flowers unique and fitting for the season, read on and discover
ideas for fall bridal bouquets and wedding centerpieces.
FALL WEDDING BRIDAL
BOUQUETS
 Types
of Flowers for Fall Bridal Bouquets
When you
think of flowers for a fall bouquet, a group of colors instantly
springs to mind - red, orange, peach, brown, purple, yellow and dark
pink. There are several different types of flowers that come
in the colors of fall. Roses are particularly versatile because
they come in shades of red, orange, yellow, aubergine, peach and
dark pink.
Other
flowers that come in orange, golden yellow, brown, red or dark pink
include the ranunculus, calla lily, tulip, daffodil, rose, gerbera
daisy, zinnia, marigold, chocolate cosmo, gloriosa lily, sunflower
and dahlia. You can mix a combination of these flowers in different
fall colors or use a monochromatic theme with a few different flower
varieties.
Fall Bridal
Bouquet Extras
Even if
you don’t choose a vibrant color for your bridal bouquet, you can
still bring in seasonal flair with berries, fern greenery or
ribbon. Tying your bouquet with an orange, maroon, or chocolate
brown ribbon subtly brings in colors of fall.
Berries
are a great way to add texture and dimension to fall wedding
bouquets. Hypericum berries and viburnum berries are both great
choices.
Fern
leaves add greenery to fall bouquets and provide contrast for deep
colors like red or dark rose. Ferns can also add a woodland feel to
the ivory and white flowers that are used often in traditional
bridal bouquets. You can also use fall foliage to add texture to
flowers. Leaves of oak, maple or birch make nice additions to fall
bridal bouquets.
 Fall Wedding
Centerpieces
You can
also incorporate a fall theme into your wedding flower
centerpieces. There are several ways to do this with fall flowers
and other seasonal items.
One idea
is to use hollowed out pumpkins or gourds as vases for centerpiece
flowers. Pumpkins look lovely filled with contrasting hued flowers
like apricot roses and yellow tulips. Don’t limit yourself to only
orange pumpkins either; they come in and array of shades from dark
green to white. You can also add miniature pumpkins and votive
candles around these centerpieces to continue the fall theme.
Candles
are a good addition for fall wedding centerpieces because they exude
the warm feeling of the season. You can use candles in ivory,
orange, yellow or chocolate to get the look you want.
Another
idea for fall wedding centerpieces is to use fall foliage as a focal
point. You can use foliage in wreaths around larger candles or just
as an addition to flowers in a vase. Fall leaves can also be
scattered around the centerpiece for a playful touch.
Other Fall Wedding Flower Decorations
You can also use flowers to add a fall feel to your overall wedding
décor. For an earthy element, consider using a bunch of wheat tied
with a colored ribbon to hang on pews or over doorways. You can
also use potted ferns and topiaries of moss to bring some greenery
in.
Pumpkins and gourds can be
placed in doorways and around the reception hall. Wreaths made of
bright fall leaves can be used as décor for the ceremony and
reception site.
