Fall is the season for changing colors, from the bright greens and pastels of summer, to beautiful deep reds, golds and greens of fall. Along with changing textures in the foliage of the trees and cool autumn breezes, come many beautiful fall weddings and lives joining. Fall seems to be one of the most popular times of the year for weddings, and can be accentuated by the natural backdrops and flowers that are in season for fall. While flowers of all varieties can be shipped from overseas all year long it can be very expensive.
Knowing what is in season for your fall wedding can save you big bucks. There are a variety of flowers that are in season year round along with many beautiful deep colored flowers and plants in season during the fall that can be used to adorn any wedding venue and reception. You can save money by choosing flowers that are in season whether you are using a florist or doing the flowers yourself.
There are several options of flowers for fall arrangements and a few on the top of my list that are relatively inexpensive including, Sunflowers, Gerber Daises, Mums, Black-eyes Susans, Chrysanthemums, Dahlia, and Gladiolas. In addition to roses, which are available in multiple colors year around. Many of these flowers are hearty and bold enough to be used as single stems, as an even bigger cost savings.
Sunflowers and Gerber Daisies are two of my favorite flowers to use in fall weddings and can set the stage for a beautiful ceremony, without spending big bucks on flowers. They can be used in single stems or throughout a bouquet. Another beautiful inexpensive option for fall wedding flowers are mums which could be used in bouquets or as potted plants scattered around your reception or throughout your wedding venue. They are available in several deep color tones including red, gold and green.
To save your budget, if you would like to lighten up the look of the deeper fall colors, you can add a few lighter colored flowers throughout your arrangements without forgoing your budget. Depending on the region where you are getting married, your flower choices may vary. Do your research first to help save money but still achieve the look you are going for.
Some of the flowers that are available year round include Roses, Carnations, Eucalyptus, Gardenia, Gladiolus, Heather, Lily of the Valley, Orchids, Portea, Scabiosa, and Delphinium along with the Calla Lily. However, if you are on a tight budget, you may want to choose something other than lilies, because they are more expensive than some other choices.
You have several options for filler flowers and foliage with the changing of the leaves in the fall. Magnolia leaves, maple tree leaves and others are some great ideas for using to fill a natural arrangement or to use as a center piece of a table. I have seen stems of pepper plants used during fall and it seems to be a great addition of color. Don't forget the pumpkins and gourds in fall. You could use white pumpkins, green ones or the traditional orange pumpkins as accent pieces. I have found that using the colored leaves along with pillar candles in the center of tables, along with some pretty ribbon, makes a real show stopping center piece. You could also mingle in the gourds or pumpkins for some added color and texture on the tables.
Changing from the hot summer months to the cool breezy season of fall is one of my favorite times of the year. With the beautiful backdrop of autumn leaves, fall seems to be a popular time for weddings. Even though flowers are usually one of the largest expenses of a wedding, you can save money by choosing those that are in season. Don't throw your money away by flying flowers in. You can achieve the same look with flowers that are in season for fall along with fillers that are available year round.
