Undoubtedly, flowers are one of the
wedding essentials. Flowers make a bride more entrancing.
Flowers also lend elegance to any wedding setting. It is
therefore necessary to choose the flowers well. If you have
chosen to have a summer or a spring wedding you would naturally
have an abundance of flowers to choose from. However, selecting
fall wedding flowers could be a bit challenging.
Although the bride have a rather limited
choice for her fall wedding flowers, fall flowers do come in
rich beautiful colors. With a lot of imagination, fall wedding
flowers can make any bride and any wedding setting stylish,
elegant and beautiful.

A summer or a spring wedding would
commonly use two or three kinds of blooms for the centerpiece.
But a centerpiece for a fall wedding can be a mixture of
differently textured blooms. For instance, you can use dahlias
as the base flower. Dahlias come in a variety of hues. You can
choose from the reds, the orange, plums and from any other
tone. Then add crocosmia and coxcomb. The feathery texture of
the crocosmia and the velvety flowers of the coxcomb would lend
a dramatic effect to the centerpiece. Add Hypericum berries and
viburnum for non-floral detail, fiddle head ferns and a sprig
or two of lamb’s ear for contrasting
color.
Roses still remains the popular option
but for a fall wedding you may want to choose more dramatic and
deeply hued blooms that will harmonize with the wedding color
theme. Hydrangeas come in a variety of colors, choose the
antique purples and greens and arrange them with lushly colored
calla lilies.

A lot of brides are using succulents for
their centerpieces. Succulents with petal-like leaves come in
pomegranate, aubergine and greens-all fall colors. Arrange a
collection of these succulents planted in different sizes of
pots and antique looking urns. These are suitable wedding
favors as the guests can take the plants home after the
wedding.
For the bouquet of the bride and the
bridesmaids, the arrangement should be more structured. Arrange
a collection of fall flowers into a dome-shaped posy. The
current trend is to wrap the stems of the flowers in velvet
fabrics or in satin ribbons. The same thing goes with the
groomsmen boutonnieres, they are now wrapped in satin ribbons
achieve a more polished look. To have a color coordinated
wedding, the fall wedding flowers should complement and
harmonize with the chosen color scheme of the
wedding.
