When it comes to fall floral wedding tips, texture is your best friend. Texture adds depth and tactile interest, elevating your floral design to look interesting from every angle. Here are some ways to incorporate texture into your fall wedding florals:

Seek out containers with interesting textures, such as woven, rough clay, or textured metal. The container’s texture can enhance your design and create cohesion.

While traditional fall wedding color palettes often include warm hues like red, orange, and yellow, don’t hesitate to break from the norm and explore cool tones.

Darker cool tones can bring a deep and moody atmosphere to your wedding, while softer cool tones remind us of the cold winter months just around the corner. We love incorporating blue, green, and purple florals to create a striking contrast. Cool-toned florals can be especially enchanting in coastal venues, as they complement the ocean’s colors and ambiance.

Adding dried elements to your fall wedding florals can elevate their texture, enhance color palettes, and lend structural support to your arrangements. They also allow you to incorporate grasses, flowers, and foliage that may not be in season during the fall. Consider using dried foliage, pampas grass, dried wildflowers, twigs, branches, and even dried fruits for a unique, edgy, and effortlessly chic look.
