Autumn Wedding Flowers

The defining colors of autumn flowers are buttery yellows, oranges and vibrant reds which truly captures the warmth of the season. The actual bridal bouquets as well as center pieces can contain foliage and decoration such as oak leaves, branches, acorns and even crab apples. The colors of fall as oppose to the actual flowers are most important in a fall themed wedding. When it comes to pairing the rich colors of fall, you can use amber, russet, gold, green and brown. The boutonnieres can include acorns or oak leaves if flowers aren’t desired.

Keep It Simple

The actual season of fall is not known for its extravagance, so it is often best to keep the flowers and decor simple. It is best to choose a few tasteful flowers and arrangements as oppose to going full out and decorating the entire venue in flowers. Simple but elegant would be the key words here.

How Soon Should You Decide On Flowers

When it comes to deciding on the decor of your wedding, the entire process should start as soon as possible. It is best that you have a few months notice so that you can ensure the particular fall flowers you want are available or can be imported. The later you wait, the more expensive purchasing these flowers will become. When you order up front with your local florist, you can save many hundreds of dollars.

Think About How the Flowers Will Look In Photos

Before deciding on flowers and particular arrangements, you should think about how they will look in photos. This is important because after the big day, all you will have are pictures and videos to remember it. As a result, you should consider how the flowers will look, in particular the different shades. If you have a dark or bright color flower mixed with white or lightly colored flowers without any in between shades, this may create a polka dot appearance in your photos. So, be sure to add greenery as well as different shades in between to give it a softer look without the polka dot effect.

The Wedding Bouquet Should Be A Priority

One of the most important things you should know when it comes to choosing flowers for your wedding is that you should never skimp on your bridal bouquet. As the bride, you are the center of attention at the wedding and all eyes will be on you. Also, your bridal bouquet will be in almost all of your wedding photos which make it imperative that you not only love it but it’s the best bouquet that you can afford.

Explore Your Options

When looking for a florist, be sure to shop around. The more popular ones will be more expensive, so you need to consider your budget as well. However, no matter what budget you may have, be sure to get quotations from at least a couple of different florists and always ask to see pictures of their work before deciding.
