SEASONAL UK AUTUMN WEDDING FLOWERS - IDEAS & INSPIRATION

When it comes to wedding planning, choosing wedding flowers has to be one of the most wonderful of to-dos. But I know what you are thinking, when it comes to choosing your UK autumn wedding flowers, there is so much choice. And where to even begin in making flower choices?

So just how do you choose your wedding flowers if you are marrying in the UK autumn months of September, October or November? Allow me to share some of the seasonal flowers available in the UK, from early autumn, right through to late autumn to help pick your dream florals.

Do note though, that flower blooming time changes. Every year availability and timing of wedding flowers change due to the weather. So be sure to keep in mind that you may need to be flexible and work in cohesion with your wedding florist to ensure your dream blooms become reality.

Another tip is to remember that some flower breeds have a vast range of species that vary wildly in colour, shape and size.
