What would be the best flowers for a October wedding?
Sorry so lengthy, but may be useful!:





Consider the versatile montbretia (or, botanically, Crocosmia). This is a delicate flower which consists of a series of small individual, tubular florets arranged as a comb along the upper portion of a long, slim stem (similar to a freesia). Montbretia flowers run the range of colors from yellow-orange to brick red - prefect for the season - and lend an airy and colorful wispiness to a wedding bouquet. But they can also be had in their more mature stage, after the blossoms have gone to seed and have formed small rounded pods along the comb - a textural delight.





Another popular berry which is appearing in autumn bouquets is the hypericum (the botanical name for St. John's Wort). The small, waxy, egg-shaped fruits occur in clusters at the ends of their slender stems and provide a lovely accent of texture and tone. Hypericum's usual color is a raisin brown, but newer hybrid varieties include shades of yellow, green, red, orange, and salmon pink.Roses will always be a popular choice for wedding bouquet flowers, and some of the best picks for the fall season include Leonidas (a bi-color chocolate brown), Terra Cotta (burnt orange), Star 2000 (a strong coral-orange), Black Magic (the darkest, velvet burgundy), Hocus Pocus (a small variety with dark burgundy petals flecked with cute yellow spots), Mambo (an tangerine-orange spray variety), Konfetti (deep yellow with a red-orange blaze on the edge), Red Berlin (tomato- red), and Sari (golden apricot-orange).





Growing in popularity and availability is the exotic-looking Gloriosa lily. Imported from Holland, this delicate flower has reflexed, dark red petals edged in a thin, wavy yellow margin. Popping out of a wedding bouquet, the Gloriosa is a flower with a touch of mystery and drama with it's sophisticated form and unusual character. Try combining them with mango-colored callas or rusty-red freesias.





For autumn texture, add dried grasses such as wheat or rye to the bouquet. Or choose from a variety of fall-toned foliages, such as copper beech, croton leaves, or vine maple. The velvety brown back sides of the southern magnolia can add a sumptuous element of class. Or include barky-textured materials such as lotus pods or cinnamon sticks for interesting contrast.





I would try to match a hint of the bouquet to your bridesmaids dresses, but not too much so that it takes away from the boquet or the dresses. Hope this helps!

Reply:asters, Gerbera daisies - there are so many choices. Depends on your chosen colours, too. They don't need to be the same colour as the dresses, but complement them.
Reply:They don't have to match the dresses just compliment them. I really like orange and red flowers for an October wedding
Reply:Calla lillies and gerbera daisies.
Reply:My bridesmaid dresses were an espresso color. I had beautiful flower for them, they were fall colors...orange, darks reds, maroons, even some dark pink. There were a lot of gerber daisies, roses with different kinds of greenery. I would tell your florest that it's a fall wedding (being in Oct. I assume) and go from there. Congrats!
Reply:I was married in October and used Magnolias. The flowers coordinated with the color scheme of my wedding.
Reply:Look at the colors in your wedding scheme.





inside or outside?





seasonal. or whimsical?





real or fake?





so many things to think of with flowers.





if seasonal look at Martha Stewart's fall wedding catalog





buy it or look at back issues at the library if money is an issue.





this time of year deep reds, oranges, rust to match the fall tapestry look gorgeous.
