As Nashville's weather cools down, our arrangements shift too -- rich burgundies, burnt oranges, and deep golds take center stage. Fall flowers bring a warmth that's perfect for everything from a dinner table centerpiece to a thoughtful gift for someone special.
Seasonal Favorites: Dahlias, Mums & Marigolds
Dahlias are the stars of fall -- big, bold blooms in wine, copper, and gold that hold up beautifully in cooler weather. We pair them with rust-colored mums, marigolds, and seeded eucalyptus for texture, plus a few late-season roses when we can get them. The result is an arrangement that feels like it was cut straight from a Tennessee hillside in October.
Where Fall Flowers Fit Best
Fall arrangements work beautifully for Thanksgiving tables, fall wedding decor, housewarming gifts, and cozy front-porch displays. They also make a great "just because" gift -- the warm tones feel different from a classic rose bouquet and tend to last well in cooler indoor temperatures. Many customers order a standing weekly or biweekly arrangement through the season to keep the house feeling like autumn indoors and out.
Caring for Fall Blooms
Dahlias and mums are thirsty flowers, so check your water level every day or two and re-cut stems every few days to help them drink. Keep arrangements away from direct heat sources like fireplaces or heating vents, which dry out fall blooms faster than you'd expect. With good care, most of our fall arrangements stay fresh for a full week to ten days.
