Cascade Bouquet for a Fall Wedding

A Fall Wedding… Nothing can be more romantic than celebrating a union at that time of the year when Earth has produced most of its treasures and families gather to celebrate the end of an abundant season. The warmth of this season is so conducive to important gatherings that it did inspire me to design some wedding flowers. To recreate a fall theme, I used a combination of fall colors as well as in season flowers that we designed in a cascade bouquet, a subtle reminiscence of the leaf falling season.

Carnation is the main base for this cascade bouquet. Since this flower comes in so many different shades, it makes it quite easy to create a fall theme. For this bouquet, I used 2 bunches of orange Carnations in two different shades. The contrast is created with the use of Echinacea whose petals have been removed. The incredible texture of these cones adds an interesting element to the bouquet that definitely reminds the autumn theme. Finally, Wax flowers are helping to blend and unify the design.

Materials
35-40 stems of Carnations (Orange shade)
10 stems of Echinacea
1 bunch of Wax (Orange shade)
4’ (10cm) straight bouquet holder

Carnations are creating a soft and beautiful texture for the back.


The Echinacea flower heads created a beautiful cascading line.


This heart shaped centerpiece has been designed using the same flowers as the cascade bouquet with the addition of three stems of green hydrangea.
