There’s no better way to celebrate the changing of the seasons than with a flower arrangement that captures the best of autumn’s colours. We want to help you get the most out of this time of year by providing a few suggestions that will guide you in creating a unique seasonal arrangement.

Although many flowers are unable to grow as the weather begins to cool off and winter approaches, there are a number of beautiful choices that only thrive in fall. Among the many great blooms currently in season, flowers like the petunia, viola, pansy or calendula make for a fantastic basis to start an arrangement from.

Other great options, available throughout October and November, include varieties of daisies, lilies, sunflowers and asters. Although we associate some of these blooms with other seasons, many forget that in fall they can take on other colours and provide a great way to appreciate seasonal tones while still enjoying the style of familiar blooms.

Each of these flowers can turn from airy, lighter colours in the spring and summer into warmer and more vibrant tones in the fall. As plants begin to shift colour and take on a richer and deeper pallette, they become exceptional choices for an arrangement that creates a sense of security and warmth. Yellows, oranges, browns and reds all evoke memories of fireplaces, harvests and comforting Thanksgiving dinners with family. Placing them together in a beautiful arrangement allows you and your family to enjoy a sense of warmth that makes your home a wonderful place to be when the weather gets colder.

Begin your fall flower arrangement by picking from some of the blooms listed above and then build from there by selecting your favourite autumn colours. Contrasting a few brighter yellows and oranges with a larger number of darker reds and browns allows you to make an exceptional fall arrangement that you’re sure to love.
