Top 5 Wedding Bouquet Ideas for the Fall Bride

Planning a wedding can be hard enough without having to run around from florist to florist deciding on what flowers you like best. Fall weddings can be even more difficult because not all flowers are going to be available. You want a bouquet that will stand up through the entire wedding and reception without wilting or loosing petals. You can even add these flowers to the tables at the reception. Here are the top 5 types of wedding bouquets for fall 2009.

Roses with Baby's Breath

This type of bouquet can be found all year round. Get roses that have not bloomed open all the way to ensure maximum beauty of the flower during the wedding and the reception. Roses can come in just about any color or dyed to match your wedding colors. Roses are a top favorite at weddings.

Michaelmas Daisy with Goldenrod

These flowers are in full bloom during the fall. The Michaelmus Daisy comes in white, pink, blue, and purple. The flower blooms in late August and continues to flower until the first major frost. So that makes this flower one to count on for fall weddings. Adding a little Goldenrod will make your bouquet "pop" with color. Goldenrod is a nice alternative for the normal greenery and baby's breath fillers that are regularly used in flower shops.

Helianthus Sunflower with Caryopteris

Both these flowers are fall bloomers that stay beautiful for months. The golden yellow Helianthus Sunflower has fluffy petals like a daisy and makes an instant focal point to any bouquet. Added with the tiny light blue mist colored buds of the Caryopteris shrub for texture and you have yourself a stunning bouquet for your fall wedding.

Orange Crush

These stunning beauties can be cut off long and tied together with ribbon for that unusual but beautiful fall wedding bouquet. The long stems make a good hand hold and the ribbon you use to tie these flowers together can match your wedding colors. Nothing else needs to be added to this arrangement. Simple yet stylish is what these flowers say without any help.

Orchids and Lilies

If your fall wedding is lacking in color try this flower combination with a little added greenery to break everything up. Orchids and lilies are in most fall weddings but the color they add is undeniable. Bright vibrant colors will make your bouquet stand out and be noticed.
