When the weather starts to turn chilly and the leaves begin to turn, fresh flowers at a wedding can be a welcoming sight. However, special add-ins for the fall and winter can turn an ordinary bouquet into something extraordinary.

Natural materials
Fall and winter yield beautiful natural accents for floral arrangements  In autumn, dark, rich shades of flowers are paired with fruits, such as apples, and vegetables, such as artichokes. In the winter, brides tend to gravitate back to spring flowers, but those flowers are arranged with local greens, such as pine and balsam branches.

Shades of gray
 While chocolate-brown used to be the go-to color for fall, the trend lately is gray for the colder seasons. Silvery foliage is paired with jewel tones, such as purple, to add pizzazz.

Peacock feathers
 Feathers are the new texture to add. And brides are putting them everywhere, from their hair to the cake to the floral arrangements.

The candlelight effect
When the weather turns cool and it begins to get dark earlier in the evening, many brides want to use candles to add warmth and light to the room.
For venues that do not allow real candles, brides often request lamps, such as a tall vase with LED lights.

Submerged flowers
Submerged flowers in a tall vase, topped with a floating candle are becoming a favorite of brides. It can’t be done with just any flower, but depending on what is chosen, it can be less expensive than more traditional centerpieces.
