The colors of fall are some of the most vibrant and varied of the year.

This year, expect to see these classic fall colors combined with unexpected shades for a modern twist-

Classic Autumn Hues

Traditional fall colors remain popular because they reflect the natural world. Deep reds, burnt oranges, and golden yellows are staples in autumn floral arrangements. These colors evoke that cozy cardigan you'll be wearing soon enough.

Unexpected Pairings

For a contemporary look, consider pairing classic fall colors with unexpected shades like deep purples, rich blues, or even soft pinks. These combinations can create a striking contrast that is both fresh and sophisticated.

We have been waiting all summer long for seeds pods! Texture plays a crucial role in creating dynamic and interesting floral arrangements. Fall is the perfect time to experiment with different textures by incorporating a variety of elements such as seed heads/pods and grasses.

Mixing Materials

Combine different types of foliage, such as eucalyptus or ferns, with traditional flowers like chrysanthemums or dahlias. Adding elements like dried grasses, seed pods, or even small branches can enhance the texture and depth of your arrangement.

Trends to Watch in Fall Floral Arrangements

As we move into 2025, several trends are emerging in the world of fall floral arrangements:

Sustainable Floristry

With an increasing focus on sustainability, whenever possible Blooms Collective is opting for locally sourced, seasonal flowers and greenery. This approach not only supports local growers but also reduces the carbon footprint associated with transporting flowers. We continue to use reusable hard goods and encourage our subscribers to reuse their signature vase and return their store bags, that we reuse for their next delivery.

Minimalist Arrangements

I won't like the minimalist trend is hard for us, but it continues to gain traction, with many opting for simple yet striking arrangements. This often involves using fewer flowers, focusing on the beauty of individual blooms, and emphasizing negative space. While we never want to skimp on size or abundance of fresh flower for our customers we will continue to hone new minimalist offerings.

DIY Arrangements

The popularity of DIY floral arrangements is on the rise, allowing individuals to create personalize their own arrangements. We love this trend because it encourages creativity and it's fun to see what our DIY subscribers showcase. We will continue this offering into the fall with the hopes of attaching a couple of workshops that will help all our DIY'ers create their own floral masterpieces.
