"Take Time to Catch the Falling Leaves"


 

Autumn is a season for rich, vibrant colors, raking leaves, and that cool, crisp autumn smell in the air. It’s a time for some of us to head back to school and for sports fans to gear up for the World Series and pro football. The autumn season has its own style of flowers, too, with classic fall colors and autumn arrangements. Are you thinking about sending flowers, or buying some for yourself this fall? Whether you’re looking for a centerpiece, home decor accents or the perfect gift for someone special, consider these fall flower ideas:


 
Sunflowers            
With its golden petals and earth-toned center, the sunflower exudes autumn warmth. Its sheer size always makes a statement, bringing good cheer to all who see it. Consider giving a bouquet of sunflowers or an arrangement that combines them with other blooms such as A Perfect Day. Floral Embrace is a symphony of sunflowers, roses, lilies and alstroemeria in a classic clear glass cylindrical vase. Any one of these sunflower-inspired arrangements is sure to impress family or friends and dress up any room in your home.




 Daisies
Daisies are another versatile flower choice that brings a breath of fresh air in autumn. Daisies and their cousin the aster feature radiating bright petals and can bloom in a variety of sizes and colors. A Delightful Daisy arrangement combines white and yellow daisies in an attractive glass cube; Fall for Daisies blends gold and burgundy blooms. You might also consider an impactful Autumn Gerbera Daisies bouquet to celebrate the season, or the Because You’re Special bouquet with orange daisies, pink mini carnations and yellow and green poms.



Lilies
While lilies can be associated with springtime and the Easter season, they are also a great choice for an autumn arrangement. Lilies come in a wide variety of colors and markings and are a delight to behold; they also look great blended with other autumn flowers. A Golden Crown design blends bright yellow lilies with purple dendrobium orchids and white hydrangea. The Perfect Day bouquet combines star gazer lilies with orange spray roses, yellow alstroemeria, pink gerbera daisies, blue hydrangea, and lush greens in a beautiful glass vase. It’s not to late to send the sunny, ornate Sunshine Squared bouquet, either, which features features tiger lilies, sunflowers, hydrangea, gerbera daisies and roses.

Whether it’s for back to school, an autumn birthday, Thanksgiving or any other autumn occasion, flowers say it best. An autumn arrangement is also the perfect accent for your home decor. Don’t delay; order an autumn bouquet today!
