Summer will never fully be usurped by autumn as the wedding season of choice, but judging by the fierce floral palettes of rich burgundies, smouldering indigos and fiery reds, it’s hardly surprising that an increasing number of brides are choosing the darker months for more visually dramatic celebrations. And you’ve certainly picked the right season for it!
While flowers are primarily the focus on the wedding registry and reception, the autumn and winter flowers are perfect for the re-emerging trend towards traditional weddings, complementing the rich embroidery and warm hues apparent throughout the setting.
With theming and colour co-ordination becoming de rigeur for even the simplest wedding, it’s crucial to pick arrangements that reflect the mood of the weather as well as your wedding. For instance, berries are a wonderful addition to any arrangement because they define your Big Day by its season, creating a poetic impact while remaining fairly inexpensive. It’s easy to get lost in a quagmire of flower names and budgeting, so it’s imperative that you consult your florist before settling on colour palettes.
Silla from Illusion Flowers is an expert on floral theming and advises:
‘Seeing as autumn colour palettes are very similar to traditional colours for Asian weddings, it’s perfect for going back to the classics. And even if you don’t want to go for a traditional wedding, other flowers in similar hues, like orchids and lilies are brilliant for contemporary bouquets and arrangements. Autumn and winter weddings can be just as beautiful, it’s just a question of re-working the themes.’
