Autumn Blooms – Embracing British Flowers All Year Round

I don’t know about you, but the thought of a cosy indoor wedding, with the fire lit and squishy velvet chairs, surrounded by gorgeous oranges and warm burgundies, fills me with joy. The days are growing shorter, the air is turning crisp, and it’s the perfect time of year to celebrate with pops of colour from a firework display to wow your guests.

But what if you had your heart set on British flowers?
It’s easy to assume the colourful petals and fragrant bouquets of British flowers are reserved for the spring and summer months, but with a little creativity and appreciation of the changing seasons, you can still use British flowers to create stunning arrangements in the autumn (and winter!) months.

In fact, dried flowers are enjoying their moment in the spotlight right now – they are all the rage so you’d be right on trend to include them. And, if you’re not sure about going all out with the dried look, you can add fresh blooms into the mix to give your floral designs a unique and fresher look. It is magical to make the most of British flowers in the fall.
