Fall weddings are gorgeous, with the abundant choices of natural back drops. The beautiful deep fall colored flowers, in gorgeous deep red, gold and green tones that have deepened from the bright summer greens and pastel blooms. Fall is the season for changing foliage on the trees and arrival of cooler breezes, as well as merging lives. Fall seems to be a popular time for weddings and with weddings come flowers, one of the biggest budget crunchers. While almost any flower could be flown in from around the globe, it will cost you! Choosing flowers that are in season is a great way to save money.
To help save your budget, educate yourself on what flowers are in season for fall. There are so many options for flowers to decorate your wedding and reception that are available year round and others that are in season for fall, including flowers and plants. It doesn't matter if you are using a florist or tending to the flower arrangements yourself, knowing what is in season is the key to saving money!
Fall arrangements have abundant of colors and can consist of a varieties of flowers that are in season. A few on my favorites that can save some money are Sunflowers, Gerber Daisies, Mums, Black-eye Susans, Chrysanthemums, Dahlia, and Gladiolas. Several of these flowers have larger stems and blooms, and could be used as a single stemmed bouquet to save money, but not take away from the look.
Two flowers at the top of my list for fall wedding are Sunflowers and Gerber Daisies which allow for budget savers with a gorgeous look. They can be used in bouquets or alone in a single stem. Mums are also available during the fall in a variety of colors and could be substituted for flower arrangements and placed through the wedding ceremony.
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.
While there are many flowers available year round there are some that are more affordable than others. Roses are one of the most loved flowers for all occasions and come in almost every color. However, there are other choices such as Carnations, Lilies, Eucalyptus, Gardenia, Heather, Orchids, Portea, Scabiosa, and Delphinium. Lilies, especially the popular Calla Lily are more expensive than other choices, so keep this in mind when choosing your flowers.
With the beautiful changing leaves of the trees in fall, they allow for use of beautiful foliage in arrangement and along tables. I feel magnolia leaves are gorgeous decorations and could be accompanied by some autumn leaves and pillar candles for jaw dropping center pieces. You can add decorative ribbon for a little added punch. Pepper stems are also a neat idea to be used as foliage in arrangements.
Along with the cool autumn breezes comes warms color tones with the beautiful flowering plants and changing leaves of the trees. Fall is a great setting for a wedding and it seems many couples take advantage of the wonderful deep colored backdrops. By doing your research and choosing flowers that are in season during your wedding could help to save you money, especially since one of the largest expenses of a wedding is the flowers.
