Fall is a beautiful time of year when the temperatures are cool yet mild and the leaves turn from green to dazzling shades of orange, red and yellow. If you're in the midst of planning a fall wedding, there's so many ways you can incorporate the beauty of fall into your special day. Along with figuring out what dress you're going to wear, who you're going to invite, where you're going to get married and what kind of food and cake you're going to serve, you will also need to figure out your floral choices.
There are many ways to celebrate the beauty of the season with your wedding flowers. Below we've listed some great flowers you can use for your fall wedding, organized by month:
September -- The aster is the traditional flower for September. This small flower resembles a daisy and is often used as a filler material. Other great September flowers include roses, sunflowers, iris, lily and carnation.
October -- For October, how about cosmos? These cute flowers come in all sorts of colors like white, red, orange, pink and purple. You can also try flowers like mums, roses, hydrangea, and gladiola for your October wedding.
November -- The Chrysanthemum is the traditional flower for November. These pretty flowers come in a wide range of colors like white, yellow and pink. Other great November flowers include gardenia, freesia, delphinium and as always, roses.
Floral Wedding Decorations: You can incorporate the colors of autumn into your floral arrangements. Use bright autumn leaves and decorations in earthy colors to add beautiful fall flair.
Costs of Fall Wedding Flowers: The cost of your wedding flowers will depend on several factors, including how many flowers you purchase and where you purchase them from. The average budget for wedding flowers is approximately 7% of the total wedding budget. If you're having an expensive, lavish wedding, you can easily spend thousands of dollars on your flowers. But if you're having a small, simple wedding, you can often find a bridal bouquet for well under $100.
Saving Money on Fall Wedding Flowers: One option is to choose silk flowers rather than real ones. This can save you a substantial amount of money. Be sure to visit several florists and so that you can make sure you're getting the best deal.
A fall wedding can be a beautiful celebration! Reflect the abundance and natural beauty of fall with your floral choices. The result will be a magical look that you'll never forget!
