A Neutral Autumn Bouquet
Bride, Hattie’s beautiful autumn bouquet exemplifies how when the season’s colors are reflected throughout fashion choices, ceremony displays, and reception tablescapes, a neutral, fall-inspired bouquet can be a triumphant and complementary pairing. The loosely rounded bouquet features peach Juliet (Ausjameson) roses alongside ivory ranunculus, white, full-shaped dahlias, anemones with a striking, contrasting dark center and trailing jasmine vines to create a neutral yet textural autumn bouquet full of movement.

Eclectic Asymmetrical Autumn Bridal Bouquet
This asymmetrical autumnal bouquet exudes a contemporary and organic flair, both in its shape and hues. The soft pinks of Constance (Austruss) and Miranda (Ausimmon) are beautifully complemented by Juliet’s iconic peach rosettes, while Tess (Ausyacht) adds a stunning touch of rich red. Strawflowers and clematis flowers enhance the bouquet with their unique textures, and the delicate, aubergine-edged ranunculus create a striking contrast. We love this eclectic arrangement, which steers clear of the predictable and embraces a vibrant and unique aesthetic.
