Fall is a stunning season to get married, but if you’re planning autumn nuptials, you may be wondering which flowers are in season during the fall. Don’t fret that you’ve missed prime flower season by setting the date in the fall, as there are plenty of seasonal, gorgeous blooms available including, jasmine, garden roses, andromeda, alstroemeria, coxcomb, sunflower, and black cosmos, and that’s just a small sampling.
Of course, if you don’t have much knowledge of flowers, you might not have any idea where to start. Here we take a look at each of these fall flowers and give you a bit of insight to help you narrow down your options for your special day.
Jasmine
If you love the idea of leaving an alluring fragrance behind as you make your way down the aisle, then jasmine may be the flower for you. The scent of jasmine is legendary, and its beauty is delicate and romantic. Jasmine blooms grow on a vine type plant, so using them in a bouquet or arrangement creates a fanciful, untamed look. Typically jasmine is in season through the early fall.
Andromeda
There’s a certain rustic vibe associated with fall, and it can be a lot of fun to weave this feeling into fall wedding flowers. Andromeda is one of those blooms that can really up the rustic charm of your decor. Andromeda flowers are tiny, bell-shaped blooms that dangle from delicately twisting branches and look beautiful woven into a bundle of autumn blooms.
Garden Rose
Fall brides who love the look of peonies should give some thought to using garden roses instead. Unlike standard roses which have a much more structured and rigid look, garden roses are soft, lush and frilly, much like peonies. Another plus is that they come in a wide variety of shades and you can get them at a much lower price than peonies.
Alstroemeria
The graceful alstroemeria has a sassy, speckled appearance. This flower is often used alongside other blooms, but can also work well on its own. It’s scentless, so is a good choice if you’re concerned with keeping fragrance to a minimum. Alstroemeria typically comes in shades of pink, purple, yellow, white, orange, and red.
Coxcomb
If you search for which flowers are in season during the fall, you may miss this beauty; it’s a somewhat unexpected, but absolutely striking choice. To add a rich, luxurious feel to a bouquet or centerpiece incorporate some coxcomb (also known as celosia). These flowers have a velvety appearance and come in some stunningly saturated hues (think fuchsia, coral, pink, mustard, and orange).
Sunflower
You don’t get much more traditionally fall than the sunflower. Sunflowers are big, bright, bold and they always put a smile on everyone’s faces. They tend to be a little less stuffy than some of the traditional wedding flowers, and you can actually find them in some shades you may not have seen before. An arrangement of sunflowers in shades of yellow, orange, burgundy, gold, red, and brown is the epitome of fall splendor.
Black Cosmos
Anyone who wants to add a touch of deep, dark elegance to their wedding flowers will adore black cosmos. Due to their rich, broody color, you don’t need a lot of these beauties to create major impact. They come in varying degrees of color (dark reddish brown to almost black) but are all quite spectacular.
