Calligraphy by Shannon: Fall Flowers

Here are some of the incredible flowers that are in season {read: less expensive} for the fall season. They come in a variety of colors that can meet your needs if you are planning traditional fall colors, or even if you are using your favorite (not so fall) colors.

Asters – these flowers resemble a daisy , available in: white and pink and other colors

Calla Lily – these are a traditional wedding flower, available in: white, cream, yellow, burgundy, green, bronze

Chrysanthemum – available in: white, yellow, orange, pink, and many other colors, shapes will vary based on variety

Dahlia – available in a wide range of colors, shapes and sizes. This is a beautiful picture but hardly does this flower justice because of the large variety available. I would encourage you to look at more dahlia pictures if you are considering this flower.

Daisy – the gerbera variety is particularly bountiful in the fall, available in a wide range of colors

Gloriosa Lily – available in a striking red. These are a very unique flower and can create a modern elegant arrangement.

Hydrangeas – available in yellow, orange, red, burgundy, and many other colors. These flowers are easy to work with and many florists are familiar with the ins and outs of hydrangeas. These flowers make stunning arrangements on their own and also profile good filler around a focus flower such as sunflowers or lilies.

Marigold – available in: yellow, orange, red. This is a very affordable

Oriental Lily – available in white, cream, yellow, burgundy. One variety is the stargazer which is a mix of pink and magenta with flecks of white and black.

Rose – available in a wide range of colors and can be custom dyed quite easily. Radiant Roses are available in: golden apricot, tomato-red, deep yellow, red-orange, tangerine, dark burgundy, coral-orange, burnt-orange, and chocolate brown looking fabulous in fall bouquets.
