Can you believe Labor Day weekend is here already? I mean, fall is upon us! So it’s time to start thinking of crisp fall air, pumpkin spice everything, sweaters, and deeper wedding color tones… which is why I’ve invited Rachael Vacek of Rachael Ann’s Event Design here to show is what fall florals are trending this year. From cascades to floral backdrops to pageant bouquets, Rachael broke it all down for us! Keep reading to see which trends you’ll be pinning this fall!

What are some floral color schemes you’re seeing for fall?
Rachael: Definitely greenery! I don’t believe that if you get married in the fall that you have to stick with the fall colors (red, orange, yellow). I love neutrals such as champagnes, ivory, blush, black white, and tan. You can also add one pop of color to add another dimension to it. I also love to use variations of the fall colors. For example, instead of doing red to do a merlot color and instead of orange to do peach.
What types of flowers are in season in fall?
Rachael: Greenery is always in season but also roses, hydrangea, peonies, dahlias, sunflowers, queen ants lace, magnolia, and cala lilys.

Are you seeing anything in particular with bouquet trends?
Rachael: I am seeing that more traditional bouquets are coming back such as the cascading bouquets are a huge trend now and so fun to create along with the pageant style bouquet. I always still love to do the wild and bohemian style of bouquet and think those will continue to be in style for years to come.
What are some other ways fall couples can decorate their wedding with florals?
Rachael: I am really into accents of flowers in different places around the reception such as on the gift table, in the entry way, on place settings, chair ties, and as a backdrop. Also, if you (the bride) doesn’t want to wear a flower crown but still want that look have your bridesmaids or flower girl wear one to tie in the bohemian and wild flower feel.

What are your favorite fall trends?
Rachael: Be creative. It can still be anything that you want. I always love when a bride comes up with her own ideas to play off of that.
Is there anything else you’d like to share?
Rachael: Think outside the box for fall. It doesn’t have to be this traditional fall wedding where it is outside with a bunch of fall leaves but can be still what you always want it to be.
