We love everything about the fall in Texas. Naturally, for the entire Gordon Boswell team, flowers are what we love the most. Autumn in Fort Worth isn’t like the Autumn that people experience in the northern part of the country. We’re enjoying warm weather and the sunshine while everywhere else, the crisp air forces people to wear heavy sweaters or jackets. We think that October and November are the ideal months for outdoor Texas weddings. We’re passionate about the earthy colors that are synonymous with everything about the season – especially the flowers.
The chrysanthemum is always a flower that people associate with fall. Many Fort Worth residents plant mums in their yards or gardens or place them in pots on their decks, porches, or patios. The mums that are sold in garden centers are different from the mums that florists sell.
The noted wedding website The Knot suggested that brides consider using Chrysanthemums in their bridal bouquets if they are getting married during the fall season. If you are having a somewhat casual wedding in an outdoor setting, the simplicity of a bouquet that combines earthy-colored mums with white daisies won’t take attention away from the venue. The combination of mums and daisies is perfect if you are planning a Bohemian-themed wedding.
If you’re planning to get married in the fall, we’ve got some fabulous ideas that will inspire you to use chrysanthemums in your floral designs for the ceremony and your reception.
One arrangement that would look beautiful on tables at your reception on the tables in your cocktail area is the Autumn Harvest. This lovely design captures the feeling of the season with earthy colored flowers, including Fuji mums, two-tone daisies, delicate wax flowers, and hypericum berries. We add an accent of fall leaves, adding texture to a delightful floral design that oozes with seasonal elegance.
Another arrangement that captures the harvest feeling of autumn is our Fall Harvest Cornucopia design. We start with a cornucopia basket and then add a variety of rich fall-colored flowers. We include giant sunflowers, orange Asiatic lilies, butterscotch-colored chrysanthemums, red roses, burgundy carnations and orange mini carnations. The final accents for this quintessential harvest-themed centerpiece are sprigs of lush greenery and glycerine-treated oak leaves.
We think that our Harvest Home floral design is not just an arrangement that looks spectacular on a table. We believe that this concept can easily be transformed into a magnificent bridal bouquet. It combines rustic and sophisticated elements to create a winning combination of seasonal flowers. We used gigantic sunflowers, sprigs of golden yarrow, roses, mums in quintessential fall colors, safflowers, and finally, stems of bittersweet berries.
