20 Wedding Bouquet Ideas for Fall

The setting, wedding style, season, attire, and personality all take part in choosing the flowers you’ll carry as you walk down the aisle.

Fall wedding flowers celebrate nature’s beauty, embracing the last warm days and slowly shifting from vibrant and sunny September colors to dark and moody November hues.

Apart from flowers, bridal bouquets may feature non-flower accents like foliage, evergreen branches, berries, and feathers.

1. Colorful Dahlia, Zinnia, & Craspedia Mix

Dahlias bloom throughout the summer and until the first frost, so they are excellent for a fall wedding bouquet.

These stunning garden blooms come in many shapes, sizes, and colors, including globe-like pompon dahlias and eight-inch large dinner plate dahlias.

Mix colorful dahlias with zinnias for a textured, buoyant look. Sunny-yellow Craspedia balls make an excellent accent for this playful fall bridal bouquet.

2. White Ranunculus, Lisianthus, Delphinium, & Dark Leaves

White flowers are always appropriate for a wedding – you simply can’t go wrong with a white ranunculus, delphinium, and lisianthus bouquet. However, such a floral arrangement isn’t particularly unique.

Dark leaf accents incorporate the season’s atmosphere into the bouquet, making it creative and unconventional. Depending on your preference and wedding style, you may add maple, camellia, or fern leaves.

3. Blue Thistle, Burgundy Dahlias, Roses, Astilbe, & Smoke Bush

Consider a noteworthy combination of blue thistle, burgundy dahlias, roses, astilbe, and smoke bush if you admire elaborate wedding floral arrangements with a modern twist.

Although roses and dahlias are popular wedding flowers, astilbe, thistle, and smoke bush accents make this bouquet moody and unique.

4. Yellow Spray Roses, Ombre Dahlias, Astilbe, & Smoke Bush

Ombre dahlias are one of the most beautiful fall flowers, boasting beyond gorgeous color combinations mimicking the hues of fire flames, sunrise, or autumn leaves.

Combine colorful ombre dahlias with yellow spray roses for a cheerful floral arrangement ideal for an early fall wedding. Yellow, pink, or orange astilbe and smoke bush can serve as accent flowers, adding an unexpected twist to the arrangement.

5. Merlot & White Anemones, Hydrangeas, & Dark Grassy Greens

Anemones feature delicate rounded petals and large black centers that look especially contrasting in white blooms. These extraordinary flowers are extremely popular in fall and winter wedding bouquets.

Combine white and merlot anemones with white hydrangeas to add volume and texture to the bouquet. Dark grassy greens, fern leaves, or evergreen boughs will complete the arrangement.

Optionally, you may also add hypericum or viburnum berries to match the fall woods setting.

6. Blush & Cream Dahlias, Ranunculus, & Roses

Although fall wedding flowers shift towards the rich and warm end of the spectrum, pastels are always a valid option, regardless of the season and style. Brides who value traditions will admire a blush and cream dahlia, ranunculus, and rose bridal bouquet.

You may choose two-toned dahlias or tie the stems with a satin ribbon for a more creative look. This wedding bouquet will equally well fit a rustic, bohemian, preppy, and modern wedding.

7. Roses, Parrot Tulips, Hellebores, Chocolate Queen Anne’s Lace, Amaranthus, & Golden Foliage

Fall is a time of harvest and abundance, so elaborate floral arrangements perfectly fit an autumn wedding.

Combine bright roses, parrot tulips, hellebores, chocolate Queen Anne’s lace, cascading amaranthus, and golden autumn foliage in a colorful fall wedding bouquet.

You may replace foliage with fern leaves or pampas grass and cascading amaranthus with astilbe or smoke bush. And if you wish to achieve a wow-effect, incorporate a few pheasant feathers into the arrangement.

8. Protea, Peonies, Scabiosa, & Eucalyptus

Protea is one of the most unusual wedding flowers, making any bouquet look sophisticated and exotic. Add it to a peony and scabiosa arrangement as an accent, and use eucalyptus branches as fillers.

Dusty miller, leather fern, and palm leaves are all valid alternatives to eucalyptus. You may replace peonies with roses, dahlias, or ranunculus to maintain the arrangement texture and volume.

9. Bold Celosia Bouquet

Celosia, also known as cock’s comb, is a unique fall flower resembling a bottlebrush. It comes in a wide range of vivid hues, including yellow, orange, red, and pink.

Although celosia is typically used as an accent flower, a mono celosia bridal bouquet is a fun alternative to traditional garden blooms. Mix and match different colors to define the flower shape because a monochromatic celosia bouquet may look too bushy.

If you prefer more elaborate arrangements, combine celosia with any popular fall flowers like dahlias, zinnias, roses, or peonies.

10. Asymmetric Orchid, Anthurium, & Calla Lily Mix

Orchids, anthuriums, and calla lilies are the top-three exotic wedding flowers, each boasting its unique beauty. These popular wedding flowers come in virtually any shade, from pure white to bright pink and nearly black.

Therefore, any bride can match this exotic bridal bouquet to her wedding color scheme. For example, you may combine white phalaenopsis orchids with peach anthuriums and pink calla lilies or opt for a dramatic mix of berry shades.

11. Wild White Cornflowers, Chamomiles, & Marigolds

Early fall is still generous for sunny days but already boasts colorful leaves, hinting at the soon arrival of gloomy winter.

A sunny mix of marigolds, chamomiles, and white cornflowers celebrating the last warm days is perfect for a September rustic wedding. If you fancy a pop of color, replace white cornflowers with blue or pink.

These flowers also work well in wreaths, so consider ordering your bridesmaids matching chamomile, cornflower, and marigold flower crowns for gorgeous group pictures.

12. Panda Anemones, Eucalyptus, Olive Branches, & Fall Leaves

Anemones come in many colors, from bright to dark, but the white “panda” variety with a contrasting center is the most popular for weddings. These gorgeous flowers don’t need a pair because they will inevitably steal attention.

However, eucalyptus, olive branches, and dark fall leaves can liven up the bouquet. If you find the white color too unoriginal for a wedding, choose fiery red or deep plum anemones.

13. Textured Chrysanthemums & Amaranthus

Chrysanthemums are a fall wedding staple. These textured wedding flowers come in hundreds of shapes and colors, including quilled, spider, anemone, pompon, spoon, and ombre, to fit any preference.

Furthermore, chrysanthemums are cost-effective and have a long vase life. The bouquet doesn’t have to be made on the wedding day to look fresh.

However, a mono chrysanthemum wedding bouquet may appear too unoriginal for such a big day. Amaranthus is an excellent accent adding a modern twist to the arrangement. Other accents to consider are Craspedia, fall leaves, and gypsophila.

14. Craspedia, Blue Thistle, Hydrangea, Succulents, & Sweet Pea

Hydrangea and sweet pea are very different but equally voluminous and delicate flowers popular among brides for their sweet fragrance and dreamy appearance.

Both flowers come in many colors, including pure white, pink, purple, and the most popular, blue.

Blue thistle, vivid Craspedia, and succulents are an unexpected twist in this romantic flower combination.

15. White Roses, Peonies, Bleached Italian Ruscus, & Pampas Grass

White is a traditional wedding color, so a white bridal bouquet is always appropriate. However, a simple white rose, peony, or ranunculus bouquet is unlikely to amaze anyone.

On the other hand, a combination of polo roses with bleached Italian Ruscus and pampas grass undoubtedly has a wow factor, despite the monochromatic palette.

16. Sunflowers, Zinnias, & Daisies

Early fall wedding bouquet colors tend to be warm and vibrant, channeling the hues of golden leaves. Sunflowers are an all-time rustic wedding favorite, and September is the prime time for these cheerful blooms.

Sunflowers work well with many wild and garden blooms, including zinnias and daisies. Mix different flower colors to celebrate the beauty of fall nature.

If you find the floral arrangement too saturated, incorporate white filler flowers like gypsophila or waxflowers.

17. Blue & Orange Mix of Thistle, Pampas Grass, & Bird of Paradise

A blue thistle, dyed orange pampas grass, and bird of paradise bouquet boast a contrasting, lush orange and azure blue combination.

This unconventional exotic bouquet is ideal for brides admiring everything creative.

18. Red & White Roses & Greenery

You can’t go wrong with a mix of white and red roses – it’s a universal wedding bouquet idea that works equally well for fall and spring, traditional and bohemian weddings.

Greenery gives the arrangement a fresh, modern touch. You may choose eucalyptus branches, dusty miller, cascading ivy, camellia leaves, or any other foliage.

19. Dried Proteas, Succulents, Viburnum Berries, Dried Echinops, & Eucalyptus

Traditionally, wedding bouquets feature fresh garden flowers, but traditions aren’t rules.

Brides with an alternative style who love to stand out will admire an original, moody mix of dried proteas, succulents, viburnum berries, dried Echinops, and eucalyptus.

20. Lavender, Wheat, Pampas Grass

If you look for simple fall wedding bouquets to match a rustic wedding, consider a mix of lavender, wheat, and pampas grass. This Provence-inspired arrangement with a modern twist is cost-effective, long-lasting, and DIY-friendly.

If wheat and pampas grass don’t fit your wedding color scheme, replace them with eucalyptus or opt for a mono lavender bouquet with a romantic white lace bow.
