Autumnal colors hold a unique allure, evoking feelings of warmth, nostalgia, and comfort. The rich, earthy tones harmonize perfectly with the changing seasons. As the landscape before you takes on a golden hue, it’s the perfect time of year to reflect this classic autumn color palette when thinking of your stunning fall centerpiece or when decorating your home for Thanksgiving. Using the many vivid seasonal colors can bring the magic of fall into any space. In this article, we’ll give some examples of autumn’s most stunning shades and flowers that embody their vibrance.
Rust And Burnt Orange
These deep, fiery colors evoke the comforting heat of a bonfire and the soft glow of the sunset. A truly fitting combination if you want to create an inviting atmosphere for a small, intimate gathering. They closely mirror nature's artful transitioning from the fading greens of summer to the warm hues of fall. Fortunately, you can find these hues easily, from seasonal dahlias and ranunculus to the ever-present roses and fall foliage.
Golden Yellow
Golden yellow captures the essence of autumn’s late sunshine, an energizing burst of light as the days grow cooler. This color can be used to great effect as a brilliant accent or highlight. Yellows could also be used as a lively focal point, in contrast to the deeper, moodier tones of the season. Sunflowers are a perfect pick if you’re on the hunt for flowers with yellow tones. Don’t be fooled by their reputation as sunny summer blooms, because they also come in deeper golden yellow, almost bronze and orange shades. Marigolds also easily come to mind, with their cheerful shades of copper and gold. They can be used as a bouquet’s filler flowers to give it a full, rounded out look. Yet another possible addition is the black-eyed susan, which will add a rustic, coarse texture when paired with other foliage.
Crimsons and Burgundy
Autumn wouldn’t be complete without deep, intense shades of red and burgundy. This color captures the essence of fall’s harvest, from ripening apples to clusters of grapes on the vine, bringing depth and richness to your floral arrangement. These intense hues also pair beautifully with other softer, earthier tones. A star-shaped aster can be all hues of red, whether it be a bright scarlet or deep carmine. The red spider lily, known for its dramatic scarlet petals, is also a good choice. It’s known as the “flower of the autumn equinox” in its native Japan as well for this very reason. Dahlias and ranunculus in rich wine and gem colors are also a florist favorite during fall.
Earthy Browns
These earthy shades bring to mind the rich soil, fallen leaves, and the soft fading foliage of the season, adding a natural, organic feel to your bouquets. Browns and caramel shades are ideal for grounding bouquets with their understated elegance. Roses and cymbidium orchids can give you coffee, chocolate, and bronze petals, giving your fall floral arrangements an almost ethereal and sculptural quality.
