Bring a splash of color to your fall bouquet by choosing bright orange flowers. Orange roses are a good option. You can make your entire bouquet contain orange flowers, or you can add different colored flowers too. Either way works, but just remember to choose fall colored flowers.
White Wedding Flowers for Fall
Although you may think of fall wedding bouquets being full of fall colors, it is completely fine to stay with the traditional white flowers. After all, this color will match the bride's dress. Consider adding some green leaves into your bouquet so that it balances out the white. You may also want to add some bright colors to your bouquet so that it resembles fall. However, it is fine to leave your bouquet with only white flowers. It is your wedding day, so choose the color flowers you desire.

Green plants will look nice too with your red bouquet.

Something about the dark shades in this flower bouquet speaks fall. Perhaps it is because many leaves that fall from trees this time of year are dark colored.
