Autumn and Fall DIY Collection
Introducing our Fall and Autumn Collections, a mix of deep burgundy, rust, copper, bronze, and soft accents of terracotta and sandy tones. These fresh floral kits for DIY brides are the easiest way to bring the polished look of a professional floral design together with a DIY-friendly budget.
We've selected a gorgeous mix of blooms to give your design the perfect combination luxury and affordable blooms. This fresh DIY flower package uses deep burgundy scabiosa, copper and bronze creamones, beige Sahara roses which visually pulls together the perfect Autumn color palette. Since every design should have some texture, we added sprigs of dusty blue thistle flower and whispy burgundy agonis greenery to add depth and dimension to the arrangement.
The small package will give you enough flowers for building a bridal bouquet, 6-7 bridesmaid bouquets, and 8-12 boutonnieres and corsages. Our medium fresh floral kit affords additional flowers for centerpieces, and our large fresh floral kit provides flowers for everything in the small and medium packages plus flowers for 2 ceremony urns or cages for a pergola/arch arrangement.

Designer Tips for This Collection
Burnt orange, toffee, rust, copper, bronze, and golden mustard tones are tricky to find outside of Fall months. To be specific, finding these colors outside of September, October, and November will be slim pickins.
However, while it's not easy, it IS figureoutable with a few tips and tricks. As a designer, if I needed to achieve an Autumn palette outside Autumn months this is what I'd reach for:
- Dried Burnt Oak Setaria Grass
- Dried Burnt Orange Autumn Baby Eucalyptus
- Dried Burgundy Baby Eucalyptus
- Chocolate Dried Bunny Tail Grass
- Burgundy Carnations
- Burgundy Scabiosa
- Golden Mustard Roses
- Sahara Roses
- Toffee Roses
- Terracotta Carnations
- Agonis
- Burgundy Design Master
- Red Clay Design Master
- Copper Design Master
- Copper Double-faced Satin Ribbon
- Optional: Orange Ranunculus **I say optional because they can be a strong orange and may disrupt the copper/bronze palette.
As you can see I'd rely heavily on dried elements, roses, carnations, a few luxury blooms, and above all, Design Master to control my Fall and Autumn Color Story.
