Whether you're decorating your home for autumn or you're looking for an absolute showstopper to wow your guests on Thanksgiving, these quintessential fall blooms capture the essence of the season.
1. Celosia
Celosia, also known as cockscomb, is most known for its unique velvety texture, noted to resemble the combs on the heads of roosters. It comes in different colors, most popularly in shades of red and orange, and is often arranged in clusters with complementary foliage. Celosias give autumnal centerpieces a playful, fiery flair.
2. Goldenrod
The goldenrod or solidago can stand anywhere from two to five feet tall. Its tiny bright yellow flowers and sleek stalk make it an unexpected choice, but with a little work, it’s as exuberant as any larger bloom. Popular filler flowers, they can easily brighten up your arrangement with their sunny yellow blooms.
3. Zinnias
These large, showy blooms will round out your centerpiece perfectly, capable of fitting in in both casual and formal settings. The zinnia’s ability to create visual interest with their strong, attention-catching presence is its most notable quality.
4. Dahlias
The icons of autumn, dahlias are known for their dramatic shapes and colors. With hundreds of varieties, you can choose from the round ball dahlia, the sophisticated waterlily dahlia, the multicolored colorette dahlia, and many more. Dahlias can be used in many styles, from rustic to elegant, allowing you to customize your fall centerpiece to your taste.
5. Japanese Anemone
With its delicate, paper-thin blooms, the Japanese Anemone makes for an unlikely but effective focal point. It comes in light pastel shades of white, pink, and purple, creating a centerpiece that looks like a watercolor painting brought to life.
6. Scabiosa
Scabiosas add a touch of elegance with their rounded, textured flowerheads and deep hues of crimson and black, contrasting beautifully with the warm fall color palette. This “pincushion flower” can easily stand alone in various types of floral arrangements.
7. Marigolds
Marigolds are the iconic Dia delos Muertos flowers and the birth flowers for October. Their vividly colored flowers bring brightness to bouquets with their rich colors and symbolism of warmth and resilience. They are robust flowers, maintaining a lively look long after they’ve been cut.
8. Chrysanthemums
Last but far from least, chrysanthemums are a fall favorite. Known as mums, their densely layered petals add a lush, voluminous look to any bouquet. Chrysanthemums also symbolize love and joy, making them a good choice for a gift to a loved one or friend.
