Autumn flowers and tips for blushing brides

If you plan to tie the knot in autumn, you have plenty to look forward to. Not only is this time of year great for brides and grooms, but their guests too. One of the main reasons why couples choose this time of year to get married is because it means that you don’t have to worry about sweating your make up off, among other things. If you are not sure how to decorate your big day, here are some gorgeous ideas for autumn flowers that will look superb.

Seasonal blooms

If you are looking for autumn flowers that will help you stick to your wedding budget, you should consider seasonal blooms. While some might believe that there aren’t too many flowers in bloom around this time of year, this is not actually the case. Depending on the month you choose to get married, you can choose between blooms like peonies, snapdragons and even lily of the valley. Available in various colours, it’s easy to find flowers that will suit your theme and colour scheme. Of course, your florist will have other blooms that are either cultivated in greenhouses or imported. These include popular choices like roses. You can combine seasonal with non-seasonal blooms to keep costs low while creating impressive bouquets.

The perfect style

Each season has its own style. A mixed bouquet of pastel blooms is perfect for spring while autumn flowers are usually red, yellow or orange in colour. These bouquets can also include off-white or plum accents.

Lush foliage

Apart from the beautiful colours of your autumn flowers, you also need to consider the benefits of dark green foliage. The right greenery will create the perfect backdrop for your flowers. You can even add some pretty berries too if you like.

Choose a vase

Finally, you need to choose the perfect vase for each arrangement. The vase you choose will depend on the types of autumn flowers you wish to display at your wedding. In other words, the longer the stems, the taller the vase needs to be. Arrangements set on your guests’ table will need to be shorter so that your guests can make eye contact with one another. If you decorate other areas, you can use larger and taller arrangements.

Remember, when choosing autumn flowers for your big day, you may want to take some time to search for flowers online. Take a look at different designs for inspiration and don’t be afraid to combine two or more colours.
