The morning air of late October has a certain freshness and a promise of change. Driving to a wedding venue at this time of year always fills me with excitement as the season shifts from summer warmth to autumnal tones. Setting up flowers at this time of year brings endless creative possibilities. I also included some of my favourite autumn looks I’ve created below.
BRIDAL BOUQUET
A October bouquet can capture both the brightness of summer and the richness of autumn. The balance between light and depth makes this a wonderful season for bridal flowers.
BRIDESMAIDS BOUQUETS
Bridesmaids’ bouquets at this time of year can echo the bride’s bouquet while still offering contrast, whether lighter for late summer or deeper to lean into autumn.
BUTTONHOLES
Buttonholes in October can carry subtle hints of the season, a perfect touch to complete the look of the groom and groomsmen.
CEREMONY
Ceremony flowers at this time of year can be as fresh and airy as summer or as warm and dramatic as autumn, giving couples plenty of choice in setting their scene.
WEDDING BREAKFAST
Reception flowers for a October wedding can bring in light and texture, with designs that bridge the seasons. Whether soft and romantic or bold and full of character, the flowers set the atmosphere for the celebration.
Thank you to all the couples who have trusted me with their Autumn wedding flowers. Whether for ceremonies in Cheltenham, Bristol or beyond, this season offers so much inspiration. If you are planning your late summer or autumn wedding and would like beautiful flowers for your bridal bouquet, bridesmaids, ceremony and reception, I would love to help you create something unforgettable.
