Here are five stunning bridal bouquet ideas for fall. From black calla lilies to red dahlias, flowers inspire and are a way to add a very personal touch to your wedding details.

Spider mums come in yellows, purples and reds in the fall. Not very fragrant.

Black Calla Lilies – Photography by Jen Huang

Very different combination of flowers. There are white calla lilies and roses included with the black ones as well as.

Dahlias – Photography by Catherine Leonard

We love dahlias. The way that the petals curve down from the center of the flower. There are so many colors of this flower, but the red and white here is very dramatic.

Succulents – Photography by Q Weddings

Unique and unusual. Succulent bouquets just make a statement with their different textures and shades of green and blue-gray. The hint of red is the perfect accent.

Botanical Berry Blend – Photography by Meg Smith

This might be one of our favorites. It has more of a Christmas Wedding Bouquet look with the berries, yet the gray foliage looks like lavender and it seems to have an orange calla lily in the mix as well. Stunning.

Match Your Colouring to Your Bridal Flowers

Blonde brides look good with blue, purple and pink wedding flowers. Red, orange and bronze flowers look best for brunettes; while redheads look stunning with plenty of foliage, green flowers and small touches of colour. For darker skinned brides, the more vivid colours work well, and white flowers look perfect.

Selecting a simple colour palette will create impact and style. Brides wearing white or ivory should match the colour with ribbons or accents of white or ivory in the wedding bouquet flowers. Corsages and buttonholes should stay within the palette of colours. White or ivory corsages for mothers look right against any outfit.

Size matters with Wedding Bouquets

When choosing flowers for the bride and bridesmaids, think of the appropriate size wedding bouquet or posy. A petite bride could carry a delicate posy of small flowers whilst a taller bride might have a regal calla lily bouquet trailing ivy. The same goes for bridesmaids of all ages. Smaller girls carry smaller flowers.
