| Q | What is your advice on planning an autumn wedding? |
| A | Hollie Weeks says: Autumn is a season rich with beautiful florals that naturally reflect the warmth and depth of the season, so embrace those seasonal blooms. Some popular autumnal flowers include dahlias, chrysanthemums, marigolds, sunflowers, and zinnias. To capture the essence of autumn, focus on a colour palette that includes rich reds, burnt oranges, golden yellows, and rustic browns. Flowers like toffee roses are always a popular choice. You might also consider adding accents of cream or blush to soften the palette. Incorporating foliage is key to enhancing the theme. For a more rustic feel, you can add dried wheat, branches or even berries like hypernicum or viburnum. These elements will add texture and depth to your arrangements. Autumn flowers and foliage can also bring amazing fragrance to your wedding. Consider incorporating scented greenery or herbs like rosemary and sage. To make your floral arrangements uniquely autumnal, consider including non-floral elements like pine cones, acorns, or even small pumpkins or gourds. These can be woven into tablescaping for a distinctive seasonal touch. Work with your florist to ensure that the floral arrangements complement your venue and overall wedding theme. For example, if you're getting married in a rustic barn, consider using wooden containers or mason jars for your arrangements. If your wedding is more formal, think about the possibility of gold or copper vases. |
