From terracotta to all things autumnal, there's a color palette for everyone this season.

What do Fall Flowers Have to do with Terracotta Weddings?
Short answer: everything. Long answer: keep reading!
Terracotta has been a hot and heavy DIY wedding flower trend for a little while now, and Fall flowers are finally here to help that palette achieve ultimate color satisfaction. You can only get bronzey blooms like Bronze Football Mums and Copper Cushion Poms in the fall months, so if you want a deeper terracotta tone, these are must have! They blend so well with Brown Toffee Roses, Terracotta Carnations, and of course - all the Bleached goodness.
This doesn't mean you can't have a Terracotta DIY Wedding outside of the fall months, you'll just need to incorporate those deeper copper tones in other areas of decor. We love a good table runner or grouping of bud vases and candlesticks!
Fall Flowers for Fall Weddings
Maybe you aren't a terracotta lovin' bride, but you're just here for the Fall flowers in all their golden rusty glory - it's your time to shine too. October and November are those magical months where you can get away with almost any color story or wedding theme. Fall flowers seem to fall in so many different categories and we'd love to help guide you to which blooms will round out your color palette best!
What's Your Fall Vibe?
Before we dive into the world of Fall flowers, it's important to think about what your overall color story is going to be. From there, you can start to narrow down which blooms will work best for your bouquet and centerpieces. Not sure where to start? No problem! We've broken down some of the most popular color stories for Fall below:
Rustic
This is the perfect time of year to embrace all things earthy and organic. Think rich jewel tones like Burgundy, Deep Red, and Burnt Orange. Adding in some greenery or even incorporating wheat or pampas grass into your centerpieces is a great way to really bring this theme to life.
Romantic
Fall is such a romantic time of year, so it's no surprise that many couples choose to incorporate those same vibes into their wedding day. If you're going for a more romantic feel, we recommend sticking to softer more traditional colors like Blush, Cream, and Ivory as a base and accenting with coppers or deeper burgundy greenery like Agonis and Copper Beech.
Moody
For the couples who want to veer away from the traditional Fall colors, this color story is for you! Think Burgundy, Navy, and Deep Violet for your main color palette. From there you can start to add in some pops of color with brighter blooms like Bronze Football Mums and Golden Mustard Roses.
Whimsical
This is such a fun color story for Fall! Think about all the colors you associate with the leaves changing - Brilliant Orange, Crisp Yellow, and Vibrant Red. Incorporating these colors into your wedding day will instantly give it that whimsical feeling. We love pairing these brighter Copper Beech leaves with sweet Orange Ranunculus and Burgundy Scabiosa!
Now that you have a better idea of what your color story is going to be, it's time to start thinking about which Fall flowers will best fit into that scheme. Read on for our top picks for each color story!
