Top 5 Flowers In Season For Your Fall Wedding

Fall weddings are characterized by rich shades of red and orange that give an added romantic flair and warmth to this already special event. Picking the flowers that you'd like to use during your reception and ceremony can be an especially exciting challenge, as this flora will play a big part in dictating the overall aesthetic of your nuptials. For fall weddings, you should go about choosing seasonal varieties that will be at their peak during the autumn months, featuring hues that are characteristic of the season.

Here are five flowers that are in season during the fall - they're our top picks for your big day:

• Asiatic lily - This beautiful flower can give your bouquet a cascading effect as you walk down the aisle. With long, curved petals, the buds appear to burst from the stem. In a light orange tone, the Asiatic lily could be the perfect flower for your centerpieces as well.

• Celosia - Few flowers make more of a statement in a bouquet than celosia. Whether you choose the plumed type, which produces impressive spires, or the crested variety with its striking twisted form, you can't go wrong using this flower in your wedding.

• Gerbera - This kind of daisy is the perfect flower for a harvest wedding, as it has a very basic shape and petal structure, but blooms in amazing shades of red and orange, making it a wonderful statement piece.

• Queen Anne's Lace - This is perhaps the ultimate filler flower, as it has enough thickness to fill a bouquet out completely without taking away from the statement made with more vibrant flora used in the array.

• Rose - This may seem overdone, but richly colored roses can give the perfect air of class and comfort when used as a decoration at your wedding. Small arrangements at every table will be tasteful and timeless - they are a standard for a reason.

There are numerous varieties of flowers that peak during the autumn months that will make your nuptials absolutely gorgeous. You can never have too much flora at your wedding, after all, so choose several different species to incorporate into your reception and ceremony. Combined with seasonal fall wedding decorations on every table, these arrangements will help your venue burst with color and make your big day an event that no one will soon forget.

Fall Wedding Flowers Ideas

The fall wedding season is best known for its rich colors. Golden yellow, orange, and deep red are just some of the choices. Bold colored flowers such as Gerber daisies, roses and calla lilies are just some of the great fall flowers that you can choose from when planning your wedding.

If you are getting married this fall and want to get to know your flower choices, here is some help to get you started:

Gerber Daisies: Perfect for dramatic and contemporary bouquets, the Gerber Daisy is one of the most popular choices for autumn wedding flowers. With its wide variety of over a hundred colors to choose from, it will not be difficult to decorate your wedding with this wonderful bloom.

Hydrangea: Another popular flower for the fall is the hydrangea, which has full blooms. Available in an incredible range of shades, hydrangea can also be easily "tipped" with an aerosol by a florist to deepen or control the shade. Hydrangeas are also very economical.

Roses: The rose is not often thought of for fall but is a great flower for adding deep burgundy, red, orange and yellow to your bouquets or centerpieces.

Chrysanthemums: These flowers are available all year round but they actually grow during the season of fall. Chrysanthemums, which come in a variety of sizes and colors, can be used as fillers for floral arrangements on table centerpieces, wedding arches and for the bouquets.

Calla Lily: The Calla lily is not only the elegant flower choice but it also offers an incredible range of colors. If you are looking for burnt orange and beautiful reds, the calla lily is the flower for you.

Finally, autumn offers an opportunity to experiment with creative and woodsy bouquet choices. Don’t be afraid to add other elements of fall into you bouquets, such as leaves, wheat, pine cones and berries!
