Fall Hues
-
While there is no law against having a pastel-themed wedding during the autumn months, many brides and grooms choose to allow the bold colors of the changing leaves to inform their wedding day color palette. If your wedding features the rich autumnal hues that make the season so special, create a bouquet that does the same. When picking your floral colors, focus on bold, dark hues including vivid reds, deep burgundies, rusty oranges and warm, rich yellows. Also bring in some dark greens to contrast with these hues. These vivid and rich colors will not only make your bouquet beautiful, they will also ensure that your bouquet contrasts well with your pristine, white wedding gown.
Flower Choices
-
Fill your fall bouquet with flowers that are available in the rich colors commonly associated with the season. Roses in reds, oranges and bold yellows, for example, make wonderful fall bouquet material. Similarly, elegant calla lilies in burgundies, oranges and yellows fit the season well. For a simpler, yet still fall-friendly look, select dark-hued Gerber daisies to fill your bouquet. Feature just one of these floral options prominently in your bouquet, or mix them to create an attention-getting and attractive mixed wedding day bouquet.

Fall-Themed Additions
-
Tie your bouquet to fall more completely by adding some unexpected fall-themed accents. To make the bouquet unmistakably fall, have fall leaves woven among your flowers. For a more subtle addition, add pops of crimson by sticking sprigs of berries into your bouquet. If seeking something truly uncommon, consider nestling a few twigs into the flower collection, allowing them to stick slightly above the flowers and add a new layer of interest to the bouquet.
Autumnal Bouquet Wrap
-
Tie your bouquet together with a decidedly autumnal bouquet wrap. Select ribbons that echo some of the hues in the bouquet itself and wrap them around the stems of your flowers, securing them with pins to create a handle of sorts on which the bride can rest her hand. Dress up these bouquet-wrapping ribbons by attaching small metal leaves or other autumn-inspired tokens to the ends of them, proving a pleasing finish to your bridal bouquet.
