If you want your wedding to truly be your perfect day, you want it to reflect your look, your personality, your values, and your favorite colors. And you might be thinking that the June Bride with pink flowers all around is not the image for you. Choosing a fall wedding brings you a lot of planning options.

According to floral designer and author Sharon McGukin in Georgia, sunflowers are a big hit in their area for fall. Just think how that changes the whole look of the celebration. She says that in designing the flower arrangements and bouquets, she uses texture and vibrant color. Pods, pine cones, and twigs add a visual richness to a bouquet with their variety of textures as does the celosia flower with its velvety feel.

Flowers that she recommends for providing color are mums and the traditional roses and lilies in colors that match the local season’s palette. McGukin says to choose colors so that you have a unified look.
