19 Ideas for Fall Wedding Flower Bouquets [2024]
Depending on your preferences and the stylish touch you want to give to your special event you can create a statement fall wedding flower bouquet that will harmonically match your mood and scenery.
Let’s unfold these ideas one by one.
- Vine Inspired
Dried vine leaves can be a unique and seasonal choice for a bridal bouquet. The central role will be played by dahlias, chrysanthemums, and thistles, which can be accompanied by ferns around them. Give it a try!
- Forest Inspired
For a forest-influenced bouquet, you can choose lots of greenery and wildflowers.
Add dried tones such as thistle and a color palette that matches the concept. Ideal for your special day especially if the ceremony will take place in the countryside.
- Farm inspired
Tomatoes in a wedding bouquet? Why not? Take advantage of the season by including fresh vegetables or herbs in your floral arrangement. This non-traditional idea is especially cool if you’re planning to get married on a farm.
- Fruit Embedded
Green and red apples, berries, and even pomegranates can pop out in a greenish or reddish flower creation. Don’t overdo it though, because you don’t want to hold too much weight!
- Wings Instead of Flowers
If you want to make a difference you can leave out the traditional flower wedding bouquet and go for something alternative. Feathers, wheat sprigs, and greenery are all trendy and no-so-classic options for great wedding decor creations.
- The Ombre Choice
Ombre is not a hair color trend only. You can have it in your bridal bouquet too!
You can combine dark and light flowers using an ombre effect. You just need to place the light-colored flowers to the right, while the darker ones to the left, and have an elegant arrangement.
- The Orange Crush
An orange bouquet with marigolds, ranunculus, and roses brings a pop of color that’s both vibrant and cheerful. Bright, bold, and undeniably fall-friendly!
- Burgundy and Blush Romance
If you are a romantic soul, you can combine deep burgundy dahlias with soft blush roses. With this pairing, you’ll hold a romantic yet bold flower arrangement that screams fall elegance.
- Sunflower Joy
Yes, sunflowers aren’t just for summer! Pair them with greenery and rustic elements like wheat or dried lavender for a bouquet that’s sunny yet sophisticated.
- Earthy and Organic
If you want to scream organic opt for a floral arrangement featuring lots of greenery, ferns, and eucalyptus, combined with subtle flowers in cream or pale pink. This will give your fall wedding bouquet a natural, effortless vibe.
- Rust and Peach Palette
For this option mix rust-colored chrysanthemums with peach roses for a warm, inviting, fall-friendly bouquet. This color combination is a beautiful nod to the changing leaves while exuding elegance at the same time.
- Dark and Melancholic
If you are a more introverted type and not fond of a flashy wedding you can choose a more dark and melancholic option. It matches also the season perfectly. Opt for a bouquet of red dahlias, white carnations, and amaranths in gray, in this case.
- A Floral Wreath
This is an out-of-the-box option. If you’re feeling adventurous enough, ignore the classic bridal bouquet and go for a bridal wreath instead. It will be quite impressive.
Not to mention that it is also quite practical, in case you get tired of holding it, you just pass it through your hand!
- The Bigger, The Better
If you want your bridal bouquet to stand out, think size wisely. Oversized wedding bouquets have been a big trend for many years, and continue to hold the reigns. If you walk down that road, go for an asymmetrical and “unruly” creation, to have a personality of its own.
- The Classic Choice
If you still want a classic flower arrangement you can just add some seasonal touches. Like some silver brunia berries or dried seed pods and voila, you have your fall-appropriate bridal bouquet.
- Some Vintage Vibes
If your wedding’s central aura is vintage, then go for a bouquet with muted tones, like dusty rose, antique white, and soft greens. Add in some pampas grass or dried elements to sprinkle that vintage charm.
- Rustic Reds and Golds
On the contrary, if your ceremony has a rustic touch, mix red roses with gold accents, such as dried wheat or goldenrod. It will give your bouquet a fall twist that’s timeless and elegant. And rustic too!
- Lavender Love
Of course, lavender couldn’t be excluded from this list. For a more subtle, fragrant result, pair some lavender with soft blue thistle and greenery. Your bridal bouquet will be incredibly beautiful and calming.
- Wildflower Whimsy
Finally, you can go wildflower. A mix of seasonal wildflowers in various colors will give your bouquet a fresh, just-picked feel. You can also think about including flowers like asters and goldenrods.
FAQs
- How Many Wedding Bouquets Will I Need?
Actually, two.
There is the one you will hold as the bride and the one you will throw for your single girlfriends to catch as tradition has it.
So, if you are planning your wedding flower arrangements, include a second – maybe a bit smaller – similar to the bride’s bouquet.
- Is There a Way to Preserve My Wedding Bouquet?
Surely.
The best way is to hang the flowers upside down and let them dry in the air. First, tie your bouquet with a rope or rubber band and hang it upside down in a dry environment, without any moisture.
Wait around two weeks for it to dry completely. You can also use some hairspray to help the flowers some hairspray to keep their petals intact and shining.
- Is There a Creative Way to Use My Bridal Bouquet for Decor?
If you want to let your imagination unfold you can use your hand-held flower arrangement as a decorative element.
For instance, you can cut some of its dry flowers and leaves, put them in a nice glass frame, and hang them on the wall.
To take your artistic streak a step further you can submerge your wedding bouquet in a mold of a shape you like filled with epoxy resin (a substance similar to gel). Make sure you arrange the flowers so they don’t lose shape and remove the mold when the epoxy resin dries.
