Fall Flowers: The Best Flowers and Colors for Autumn Arrangements
As summer fades and the leaves begin to change, fall brings some of the most beautiful colors of the year. Autumn flowers are warm, rich, and inviting, making them perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, thank-you gifts, sympathy flowers, or simply letting someone know you are thinking of them.
At Coady Florist, we love working with the colors and textures of the season to create beautiful fall flower arrangements. While traditional autumn colors such as orange, gold, rust, and burgundy are always popular, fall flowers can be much more versatile than you might expect.
The Best Flowers for Fall Arrangements
Fall offers an abundance of beautiful flowers and seasonal foliage. Some of our favorite autumn flowers include:
Chrysanthemums
Chrysanthemums, or mums, are one of the classic flowers of fall. Available in an incredible variety of colors, shapes, and sizes, mums can add fullness and texture to an arrangement. They're especially beautiful in warm shades of bronze, burgundy, yellow, orange, and rust.
Sunflowers
Nothing says fall quite like a sunflower. Their bright golden petals bring warmth and cheer to autumn arrangements and pair beautifully with deeper burgundy, orange, and brown tones.
Roses
Roses are available throughout much of the year and are an excellent choice for fall arrangements. Deep reds, warm oranges, peach, yellow, and burgundy roses can give an arrangement a distinctly autumnal feel, while cream or blush roses create a softer look.
Dahlias
Dahlias are a favorite late-summer and fall flower. Their layered petals and dramatic shapes add interest and texture to seasonal arrangements. Depending on availability, dahlias can bring colors ranging from deep burgundy and plum to peach, pink, and cream.
Hydrangeas
Hydrangeas are another wonderful choice for autumn flowers. As the season progresses, some varieties naturally develop beautiful shades of green, burgundy, antique pink, and purple. Their large blooms also add volume to an arrangement.
Alstroemeria
Alstroemeria, also known as Peruvian lilies, are long-lasting flowers that work beautifully in fall bouquets. They are available in many colors and can add both color and height without overwhelming the other flowers.
Seasonal Berries and Foliage
Flowers aren't the only way to bring the feeling of fall into an arrangement. Seasonal berries, branches, grasses, eucalyptus, and other foliage can add texture and a natural autumn character.
Because availability changes throughout the season, our designers may substitute individual flowers or foliage while maintaining the overall look, color palette, and style of the arrangement.
Popular Fall Flower Colors
When most people picture fall flowers, they think of orange, red, and gold. Those colors are beautiful, but they're only part of the autumn palette.
Orange and Rust
Orange, terracotta, copper, and rust create a classic fall look. These colors work especially well with sunflowers, roses, mums, and seasonal foliage.
Burgundy and Deep Red
For a richer and more dramatic arrangement, burgundy, wine, and deep red flowers create an elegant autumn look.
Gold and Yellow
Golden yellow flowers bring warmth and brightness to fall arrangements. Sunflowers and yellow mums are particularly popular choices.
Plum and Purple
Deep purple and plum can give an autumn arrangement a more sophisticated feel. These colors pair especially well with burgundy, blush, cream, and green.
Cream and Neutral Tones
Fall flowers don't have to be dark or brightly colored. Cream, ivory, white, blush, and soft green can create a beautiful, understated autumn arrangement.
Fall Flowers Don't Have to Be Orange
One of our favorite things about fall flowers is that there isn't just one way to design them.
A traditional autumn arrangement might feature sunflowers, orange roses, bronze mums, and colorful foliage. But a fall bouquet can also be soft and romantic with blush roses, cream flowers, antique hydrangeas, and greenery.
For something more dramatic, deep burgundy, plum, rust, and wine-colored flowers can create a rich seasonal palette.
The best fall arrangement is often one that reflects the person receiving it rather than simply following a traditional color scheme.
Fall Flowers for Every Occasion
Autumn flowers are appropriate for almost any occasion.
Birthday flowers: Bright sunflowers, orange roses, colorful mums, and other seasonal flowers make cheerful fall birthday gifts.
Thank-you flowers: A warm seasonal arrangement is a thoughtful way to show your appreciation.
Anniversary flowers: Roses in rich autumn colors can create an elegant and romantic arrangement.
Sympathy flowers: Fall flowers can also be used to create tasteful and comforting arrangements for expressing sympathy and remembering someone special.
Get-well flowers: Bright yellows, oranges, and soft seasonal colors can bring warmth and cheer to someone who isn't feeling well.
Just because: You don't need a special occasion to send flowers. A seasonal bouquet can be a simple way to let someone know you're thinking of them.
