Beautiful Wedding Flower Choices For Fall Brides
Autumn is a wonderful time to plan a wedding. Nature's palette changes to amazing hues of red, orange, yellow, purple, bronze, cream and lovely shades of brown. In floral design autumn colors translate into many flowers that are not seen in others seasons. My favorite fall wedding flower is the awesome cockscomb. It is an unusual and beautifully textured flower that looks like folds of velvet. It comes in red, crimson, and yellow, It will dry naturally and can preserved for a long time. Cockscomb is a very versatile flower and is a great choice for the bridal bouquet, centerpieces, pew markers, wreaths, corsages and boutonnieres. It can be used in tall or low arrangements, placed inside of clear vases with arrangements on top, or made into amazing pompanders. It is perfect for fall or winter weddings. Another bonus with this flower is that it can be grown in your garden during the summer. The flowers mature in late summer and fall and will dry naturally. They have a vase life of up to 14 days when fresh and can also be used in arrangements after they have dried. Their geographical origins are the dry slopes of Africa and India. Chinese lantern is another unusual pod that is used in floral design. The puffy pods resemble lanterns on a stem. Most of us think of hydrangea as being a spring or summer flower, but it is available in October and November and comes in lovely shades of crimson, cream, and green as well as the traditional blue and pink. One of the loveliest bridal bouquets I have ever seen was for a November wedding. It was made from big, fluffy green hydrangea, beautiful orange roses with outer petals of deep pink, hypercurium, crimson cockscomb, and golden oriental lilies. Just imagine what a spectacular display these flowers would make for the reception centerpieces and cake. Imagine a foyer or buffet table with tall vases filled with floating candles and the deep orange and pink rose petals scattered around them. Add some tea lights or votive candles and you have an awesome centerpiece. For an even larger floral display try adding a very tall arrangement of the same flowers with the vases of floating candles, tea lights, and rose petals. Gerbera daisies come in all of the deep autumn colors. They are perfect for bridal bouquets, table centerpieces, and pew markers. They are popular Indian wedding flowers because of their lovely rich vibrant colors. If you are looking for wedding flowers for hair pieces, the velvety folds of the cockscomb flower is a perfect choice. It can be used alone or with other small flowers to create an awesome piece. For the bride to be who is looking for inexpensive wedding flower packages, Costco is a good source. They have great prices and will deliver to your door. The flowers are fresh and the package comes with the floral supplies such as tape and corsage pins. Costco is also a good place to purchase vases by the case for your centerpieces. An added bonus is having them delivered to your home or venue. This method is convenient and saves so much time and energy. Many brides choose natural autumn leaves, pods, and acorns to decorate for a fall wedding. Maple leaves are the perfect size and color. They can be incorporated into the wedding bouquet, scattered on tables, used in garlands, and look beautiful with candles, but the best part is that they are free. If an outdoor wedding is an option, think how lovely a backdrop of maple trees would be. Chocolate is a popular color for weddings and makes a fantastic choice to compliment the beautiful deep tones of the fall flowers. Other complimentary colors are copper and bronze. These colors can be carried throughout the wedding in ribbons, cakes, dresses, and invitations for a fabulous fall display.
