As the leaves start to turn and the air grows crisp, autumn brings with it a rich palette of colours and textures that inspire creativity in floral design. At Flowervision Bristol, we’re seeing three standout trends that are shaping this autumn: Textured Bouquets, Terrariums, and Earthy Warm Tones. These trends offer exciting opportunities for wedding florists, event planners, and retail flower shops to captivate their customers with stunning, seasonal arrangements.
Textured Bouquets
This autumn, textured bouquets are making a big impact. Textured bouquets bring together a variety of elements – think velvety blooms, spiky seed pods, and rough foliage. Altogether they create a look that’s both sophisticated and visually captivating.
The appeal of textured bouquets lies in their versatility. Whether you’re designing for a rustic autumn wedding or a high-end corporate event, these bouquets can be tailored to suit any theme or style. By combining fresh flowers with dried grasses, berries, and other natural elements, you can evoke the essence of the season in every arrangement. Layering different types of foliage, such as feathery ferns with robust eucalyptus, adds further depth and interest, while larger blooms like dahlias or chrysanthemums serve as eye-catching focal points.
Terrariums
Terrariums are gaining significant popularity this autumn, blending the beauty of nature with the appeal of creative, low-maintenance design. They’re not just trendy but are a versatile addition to any florist’s offering, appealing to both event planners and retail customers looking for unique decor options.
Terrariums offer a unique way to bring greenery indoors, especially as the outdoor landscape changes with the season. Their low-maintenance nature makes them particularly appealing to customers who love plants but prefer a hands-off approach. Terrariums can be customised to fit any aesthetic, from minimalist modern designs to autumn-inspired landscapes featuring warm-toned stones, moss, and even miniature pumpkins.
For florists, terrariums are a fantastic option to suggest as event centerpieces or as unique gifts that guests can take home. Offering terrarium kits with autumnal elements is another way to engage your customers, allowing them to personalise their own little garden. With their sustainable appeal, terrariums also resonate with the growing demand for eco-friendly decor options.
Earthy Warm Tones
Autumn is known for its rich and earthy tones that evoke warmth and comfort. This season, colours like deep orange, burnt red, and rich brown dominate floral designs, providing a cozy, inviting backdrop for any arrangement. These hues not only capture the spirit of the season but also offer a timeless elegance that works well across different styles, from rustic to refined.
Incorporating earthy warm tones into your floral arrangements allows you to create a strong connection to the season. Flowers like dahlias, chrysanthemums, and roses in shades of rust, burgundy, and amber are perfect for crafting rich, autumnal bouquets. These tones pair beautifully with neutral elements, such as cream-colored blooms or soft green foliage, to balance the vibrancy and add depth to your designs.
Adding seasonal accents, like acorns, pinecones, or even autumn fruits such as pomegranates, can give your arrangements a unique twist that clients will love. Whether you’re designing bridal bouquets, event centerpieces, or retail displays, earthy warm tones are sure to resonate with your audience and enhance your seasonal offerings.
