From rich burgundy and deep red to warm orange, rust and earthy tones, autumn flowers bring depth and texture to bouquets, arrangements and floral displays. Whether you are preparing for autumn weddings, seasonal events or simply updating your shop with a fresh autumn look, there are plenty of beautiful flowers to work with.

Our Autumn Favourites

Every season has its own favourites, and autumn is no exception. Seasonal flowers not only reflect the colours and atmosphere of the time of year, but also offer florists plenty of variety when it comes to texture, shape and style. Here are some of the autumn flowers we love working with:

Dahlias With their full, layered blooms and wide range of colours, dahlias are a true autumn favourite. From soft blush tones to deep burgundy and warm orange, they can add both elegance and impact to floral designs.

Chrysanthemums Chrysanthemums are available in an impressive variety of shapes, sizes and colours. Their strong seasonal character makes them a versatile choice for autumn bouquets and arrangements.

Hydrangeas As the season progresses, hydrangeas develop beautiful deeper and more muted shades. Their large flower heads add volume and work beautifully alongside smaller seasonal blooms.

Amaranthus With its distinctive hanging shape, amaranthus is perfect for adding movement and texture. It works especially well in loose, natural autumn arrangements.

Celosia Celosia brings a unique texture and playful shape to autumn designs. Its rich colours make it a great choice for creating eye-catching seasonal arrangements.

Physalis For something a little different, physalis adds a natural and decorative element. Its warm orange colour fits perfectly into an autumn-inspired palette.

Autumn Inspiration for Florists

Autumn flowers offer endless possibilities for florists. Their rich colours and varied textures work beautifully across different types of floral design.

For autumn weddings, warm-toned roses, dahlias and hydrangeas can create romantic bouquets and centrepieces, while seasonal foliage adds a natural finishing touch.

For events and installations, larger flowers such as hydrangeas and chrysanthemums can provide volume, while textured varieties such as celosia and amaranthus add movement and interest.

And don't forget your shop display. A seasonal selection of autumn flowers can instantly bring the feeling of the new season into your flower shop. Combining different flower shapes, colours and textures creates an inviting display that catches the eye of your customers.

Whether your style is elegant and romantic, wild and natural or bold and colourful, there is an autumn flower combination to suit it.
