Seasonal Roundups: Fall Wedding Bouquet Ideas
With cozy temperatures, rich colors, and golden leaves falling from the trees, it’s no surprise that autumn is one of the most popular seasons to say “I do.” And as summer comes to an end, it officially marks the beginning of fall wedding season—and with it comes an abundance of romantic, seasonal inspiration.
While every season brings its own unique charm, there’s something about autumn that feels especially dreamy. And one of the best parts? The flowers. Fall offers a stunning variety of flowers and greenery that’ll help bring your floral vision to life—from ceremony backdrops to reception centerpieces.
But don’t overlook the smaller details, like your bouquet. It’s the accessory that ties your entire look together, so it’s worth taking the time to get it just right. That’s where we come in. This guide is filled with fall wedding bouquets, practical tips, and real wedding examples to help you design a truly unforgettable bouquet.
Color Palettes for Fall Bouquets
Fall is known for its rich, moody color palettes. This season offers a variety of options, whether you’re drawn to deep reds, burnt oranges, or jewel tones like emerald and teal. Want to add a touch of sparkle? Gold accents can elevate your look even further. With so many beautiful combinations, you can really get creative.
Here are a few colors that complement the fall season you should consider for your wedding color palette:
Want warm and moody? Try deep burgundy, plum, rust, or chocolate brown.
Drawn to earthy neutrals? Consider beige, ivory, blush, terracotta, or olive green.
Want to make a bold and vibrant statement? Go with a muted yellow, emerald green, burnt orange, or a bright cranberry red.
Seasonal Flowers for Fall Weddings

Florist-Approved Tips for Fall Bouquets
Designing your wedding bouquet is about so much more than picking pretty flowers. There are many factors to consider, and our goal is to guide clients through all their options—this goes well beyond just the aesthetics. Here are a few key things to keep in mind:
Durability: Depending on your wedding season, location, and the weather, some flowers will be more durable than others.
Storage: You’ll want to keep your bouquets in a cool, dim environment until wedding time. This keeps them fresh and in prime condition.
Dried vs fresh blooms: Dried flowers or pampas grass are popular for fall weddings, adding a rustic touch that holds up beautifully in cooler months.
Preservation: If you want to keep your bouquet after the wedding, consider flowers and techniques that preserve well, or plan with your florist ahead of time.
There’s a lot to consider when creating your dream wedding bouquet, which is why hiring an experienced team of florists is so important. Working with a team you can trust allows you to relax and focus on enjoying your day, while they handle all the details behind the scenes.
