Fall Wedding Bouquets: As Unique Or As Traditional As You Wish
The fall season brings thoughts of the changing leaves,
warm apple cider, crisp winds and for some, weddings. A
challenge for some brides is finding the right flowers
for their fall wedding. It is still possible to have
roses at your wedding, but how about thinking of more
seasonal flowers to use in your fall wedding bouquet? If
you think that your bouquet has to be all purple and
gold, think again. There are many colorful flowers that
you can use in your fall wedding bouquet and you only
have to use purple if you want to.
Fresh flowers are always the first choice of brides.
When they walk down the aisle they want people to not
only notice their dress but considering the money
invested; they want guests to ooh and ah over their
bouquets. A colorful fall wedding bouquet consists of
Gerbera daisies. They are a large daisy and come in a
variety of colors from orange to hot pink. Mix and match
the colors or choose a single striking color. Many
florists wrap the bouquets with wide leaves, such as
tulip leaves, to hide the stems and then tie the bouquet
securely with the brides favorite color of ribbon.
Do you want an autumn tone fresh flower wedding bouquet but
don't want the obvious? Try an autumn wedding bouquet made up of autumn
roses, mango calla lilies, bluperum, eucalyptus leaves
and hypericum berries. Want something simple? Try a
small autumn wedding bouquet of small sunflowers tied with long ribbon
ties and a bow. Other stunning arrangements are made up
of ranunculus and mimosa or combined roses, bells of
Ireland, eucalyptus, trailing ivy.
A popular trend is using fresh herbs for fall wedding
bouquets. These bouquets are typically handmade as
florists rarely carry these types of plants and flowers.
The bouquet holder that you will need to make your own
autumn wedding bouquet can be found at any craft store in the wedding
or floral area. The herbs you can use for a fall wedding
bouquet include ivy, rosemary, lambs ear, mint, sage,
veronica, feverfew, southernwood, myrtle, lavender,
roses and babys breath. You can grow these yourself,
purchase them at a herb festival or buy them from a
local greenhouse.
Finish off the bouquet with a ribbon
of your choice and you've created a one-of-a-kind herbal fall wedding bouquet.
An added bonus of using herbs in your bouquet is that they can either be dried later or used
as cuttings to start an herb garden after your wedding.
The traditional bride may still want to use roses in her
fall wedding bouquet. Roses come in a vast array of
colors and sizes so the bride will able to match her
wedding colors easily. The trend is to make bouquets
very full and to tie them with wide leaves and secure
them with either florists wire or a ribbon.
Beautiful color choices for this time of year are pinks and
oranges together; monochromatic bouquets of orange,
yellow or coral are lovely too. For an unusual rose
variety in your autumn wedding bouquet, try the chocolate rose - a white
rose with bronze tips on the petals.
Brides can be as unique or as traditional as they wish
with fall wedding bouquets. Seek inspiration by taking a
walk through a park or view local wild landscapes and
take note of the colors that you can incorporate into
your floral decor. With a little planning your autumn wedding bouquet
will be as unique as you are.
