17 Gorgeous Fall Flower Arrangements and Bouquets That'll Dress Up Your Home (2024)

Fall may be the best season for floral arrangements and bouquets. We're talking gorgeous, bold-colored flowers, intriguing foliage, and lots of fun natural elements—like berries and pumpkins—to add a little oomph to your fall floral arrangements.

If you're looking for inspiration for your own DIY centerpieces—or just want fall bouquet ideas to share with a florist for your wedding or other event—check out these tips to help you make the most of everything autumn has to offer.

Mix a variety of textures

While single-bloom bouquets are great, this gorgeous fall floral arrangement features a variety of autumnal flowers, from the bold peach-hued dahlias and ranunculus to viburnum berries, Chinese lanterns, and feathery grasses to create interest for the eye.

Choose a color scheme for your fall bouquet

Color match your flowers to create a cohesive color scheme. This pretty bouquet in rich sienna features roses, mums, hypericum berries, and amaranth—with silvery green seeded eucalyptus as a sweet counterpoint.

Think outside the traditional fall color palette

You don't have to stick to gold, orange, and red for a fall flower bouquet. This pretty floral arrangement features white mini pumpkins alongside fall-blooming dahlias, Japanese anemone, and autumnal branches for something a little unexpected.

Create highlights and lowlights in your fall bouquet

Choose flowers that vary in color intensity. This bouquet features pops of dark crimson alongside peach, orange, and cream-colored flowers.

Think beyond flowers for your fall bouquets

Don't have any fall-blooming flowers in your garden? You can create a striking fall bouquet with tufted grasses and dried seedpods.

Feature fall berries

This totally simple—and simply beautiful—arrangement features fall berries like hypericum and crabapples, tied together with a red string.

Add different shapes to your fall floral arrangements

Mix rounder, softer flowers like roses with spiky lilies to create a bit of contrast in your fall floral bouquets. And don't be afraid to keep it small—you can create a series of tinier arrangements to trail along a table or add color in multiple spots around your house.

Don't forget about wildflowers

Delicate Queen Anne's lace flowers can often be foraged—and it also adds a perfect finishing filler touch to a fall floral arrangement of dahlias, snapdragons, zinnia, and amaranth.

Keep it simple

A mass of a single type of bloom—like this simple floral arrangement of sunset zinnias—can be just as gorgeous as a more elaborate bouquet.

Think evergreen

Autumn may be the season of fall foliage in reds, oranges, and golds, but adding green to your bouquet provides a nice counterpoint to colorful flowers (or even bright white ones, like these anemone). Choose sprigs of evergreen or succulents to add a little green to your floral arrangement.

Create a rainbow of fall flowers

Purple-pink hydrangea and yellow sneezeweed give this fall bouquet a vintage rainbow vibe that'll brighten up a rainy fall day.

Consider dried bouquets

Create a fall bouquet that'll last all season long by opting for dried flowers. Autumn favorites like thistle, goldenrod, and wild grasses all dry beautifully.

Choose the perfect container for your fall floral arrangement

Hollowed out gourds and pumpkins make an ideal vessel for fall flowers. (Just insert a glass vase into the opening to help the flowers and the pumpkin last longer.)

Raid the farmer's market

Produce can make a gorgeous addition to your fall flower bouquets—think tiny pears, apples, and figs tucked into a floral arrangement, or a few leaves of kale or another hearty green as foliage. This unexpected bouquet features ornamental kale alongside wooden crafted flowers and festive feathers.

Showcase fall foliage

Red maple or yellow gingko leaves make a striking showpiece in fall centerpieces and bouquets. But even less-than-peak foliage can be gorgeous—like these brown leaves radiating from a green and lavender bouquet.

Add some herbs

Herbs can give a fall floral arrangement a delicious scent—and add some greenery to a fall bouquet. These all-green bouquets feature rosemary, thistle, and seeded eucalyptus. (You can also try pairing herbs with berries and other edible plants for a deliciously beautiful fall bouquet.)

Give your floral arrangements a cozy touch

Using coffee mugs and other easy-care containers give your flowers a cozy, casual vibe.
