When selecting the perfect wedding or event date, couples often take into consideration the season they want to celebrate. The past few years have proved that fall is a popular choice based on the refreshing weather, the breathtaking foliage, and the calm and warmth we tend to feel during autumn. Another factor that plays into choosing the fall is all of the wonderful flowers and hues they offer to enhance event and wedding decor. While there are countless fall blooms that we love to include in wedding bouquets, centerpieces, aisle markers, floral runners, and other decor, the professionals here at Conklyn’s Weddings & Events are highlighting just five of our favorites.
Chrysanthemums
Sometimes overlooked, chrysanthemums are a perfect fit for accents in centerpieces, bouquets, and more. Large potted plants of colorful mums also make for beautiful decor near entryways into your event, as aisle markers leading you to your wedding ceremony, or to enhance your specialty tables at the reception. Bronze disbud chrysanthemums are gorgeous autumn additions that catch everyone’s eye, no matter what kind of floral piece they’re a part of. Their two-toned petals are perfect for incorporating the season in a sophisticated and classic, yet energetic way.
Sunflowers
As showstoppers of the autumn season, sunflowers are a popular choice for fall weddings and events. Their bright yellow petals, large faces, and dark chocolate centers create a complimentary aesthetic that is both cheerful and uplifting, yet warm, rich, and brisk. Guests will surely be able to pick out these blooms in your centerpieces, floral decor, or bouquet as you walk down the aisle, and immediately share your joy.
Red and Orange Roses
Roses can be found in all sorts of fantastic fall hues that reflect the season. Classic roses that represent love, passion, charm, desire, and friendship are not only symbolic to include in your wedding day florals, but are brilliant hues that bring the warmth and crispness of fall into your centerpieces, bouquets, and other event florals. Red and orange roses are versatile, easily paired with other fall blooms, and are among the world’s most favorite flowers.
Craspedia Billy Balls
These yellow spherical plants add joy and whimsy to floral designs, including ceremony arch pieces, fun, and playful bouquets and boutonnieres, floral table runners, and much more. Craspedia billy balls inspire creativity and set a unique tone that urges guests to sit back, relax, have fun, and help you enjoy your event.
Calla Lilies
Set your ideal tone and mood by selecting the perfect elegant calla lilies. With bright colors from white and yellow to rich orange and moody purple tones that reflect fall foliage, these blooms are like no other when it comes to creating and designing your dream autumn wedding. While Calla lilies are a great addition to bouquets, arrangements, and other wedding florals, they can also be dreamy all on their own if you prefer a minimalist type of bouquet.
Incorporating the season into your wedding or event decor is easy with Mother Nature on your side. Each season brings unique flowers with the perfect colors to complement its mood, tone, look, and feel. This autumn, fall in love with the warm hues and moody tones of seasonal blooms and bring stunning outdoor foliage or other seasonal elements into your wedding reception.
