Seasonal Color Palettes for Fall Flower Arrangements

Seasonal bouquet by Handpicked Blossoms

Autumn is a season of rich, warm hues and cozy textures, making it the perfect time to get creative with your cut flower arrangements. Whether you’re decorating your home, gifting a bouquet, or sprucing up your workspace, fall-inspired arrangements are a simple way to capture the magic of the season.

At Handpicked Blossoms, we love experimenting with color and texture to create bouquets that feel truly autumnal. Here are a few of our favorite seasonal palettes to inspire your next arrangement:

1. Classic Pumpkin & Spice

Think deep oranges, burnt sienna, and pops of golden yellow. Combine dahlias, sunflowers, and gomphrena with textured greenery like eucalyptus or fern fronds. This palette brings the warmth of autumn into your home and pairs beautifully with rustic containers like pumpkins or wooden boxes.

2. Berry & Wine

Rich reds, deep purples, and soft pinks evoke cozy evenings and harvest festivals. Ruby hydrangea, winecraft black, and burgundy dahlias make a dramatic statement, especially when accented with sprigs of berries or dark foliage. This palette works well in elegant vases for a sophisticated fall look.

3. Muted Harvest

Soft, earthy tones like cream, peach, and dusty rose paired with muted greens create a gentle, natural vibe. Think creamy dahlias, pale zinnias, and dried elements like wheat or seeded spikes. These arrangements are perfect for a relaxed, boho fall aesthetic.

4. Golden Sunset

Bright yellows, tangerines, and hints of crimson mimic the sky at dusk. Sunflowers, golden gomphrena, and orange dahlias make arrangements that feel cheerful and energetic—a great pick-me-up as the days grow shorter.

Fall Flower Arrangement Tips

• Mix textures: Pair soft petals with spiky foliage or berries for visual interest.

• Use seasonal blooms: Choose flowers that are at their peak in autumn for longer-lasting arrangements.

• Think about the container: Rustic, neutral, or vintage-inspired vessels enhance your fall color palette.

• Layer colors: Place bold hues in the center and softer shades around the edges for depth.
