Fall Wedding Flower

If you despise the array of artificial flowers that seem to be the staple flower arrangement at most wedding parties, you need to know which fall flowers can be a part of your bridal entourage on your special day.

Helenium: Popularly known as Helen's flower, the flower's color ranges from yellow to orange and is from the same earthy palette of colors that dominate the autumn season. These bridal flowers contrast spectacularly with the white bridal outfit.

Iris: It's the Greek word for rainbow. Iris is available in a wide variety of colors, from pale yellow to white, purple, and cobalt blue.

Asters: The blue-colored October Skies, a type of Aster, is fairly popular with fall brides. Available as a cluster, they could be combined with other flowers or even Asters in pink, purple or lilac.

Stephanotis: A pure white flower with a unique shape, that symbolizes foresight and good wishes, it can be the perfect bouquet for a bride who does not want any other color to shadow her bridal ensemble.

Amaryllis: Vivid red and pink characterize these flowers, which is a symbol of good luck and happiness in marriage. That may be the reason that the Belladonna Lily or Naked Lady (as they are colloquially known) are wedding darlings.

Bird of Paradise: South African natives, the birds of paradise or crane flowers bloom in the autumn months. They closely resemble a brightly-colored bird in flight and can add color to your celebrations.

If none of these flowers seem to mesmerize you, you have other fall flowers, like the Statice, Star of Bethlehem, Gardenia, Dahlia, Freesia, Cotoneaster, Daphne, and the Winter Jasmine. If you are looking for a more traditional variety, you could opt for one of the all year flowers like roses, lilies, orchids, or daisies.
