“I’m a wedding photographer looking for ideas for my own November wedding.

I’m having a Sunday Brunch wedding in the Madison Hotel’s conservatory in early November. We are thinking deep fall oranges and reds. We would like to incorporate apples and maybe gourds.

My dress is white with a train and buttons down the back, with a waist of silver beading.

I truly think one of my favorite flower color palettes is fall tones. I just love the deep reds and oranges of the season. Kerry, I created your inspiration board with a few bouquets as well as single flower stems in a variety of fall colors. A good way to accent for fall themed weddings would be to incorporate pieces such as pumpkins, gours (as you are already doing ), branches, and even pheasant feathers. Have fun decorating for your wedding — the location is gorgeous! I hope you like your board.

Elaine, I created your inspiration board using silver, ivory, and several different shades of purple — all in hydrangeas! I put several shades of purple hydrangeas on your board just in case you wanted to mix and match the tones a bit! I hope this helps!

“Good evening!

My color scheme for my July wedding is chocolate brown, a deeper purple, and bright golden yellow. I’m going to have a calla lilly bouquet and I planned on having my bridesmaid’s carry roses. Do you have any suggestions for a full flower palette?

Thanks so much!
Stephanie”

Stephanie, I love the idea of using deeper purple and chocolate paired with a brighter yellow! What a way to make your wedding flowers “pop!” I created your board with roses and calla lilies in your 3 wedding colors. I think a nice mix of all 3 colors will be simply stunning! I also included a few little accent pieces as well. I hope you like it!

“I am helping the bride plan a wedding using tangerine and white. The ceremony will be at a water fountain at a country club and the reception will be in one of the dining rooms, also, at the country club. I love the color but when I start looking at flowers, I get overwhelmed on which ones to buy ! I recommended gerber daisies to the bride, but she doesn’t seem to happy with that, so I know that roses and cala lillies will work and I know she wants ivy incorporated somewhere in there ? Any recommendations ?

Thanks,
Kelley”

Kelley, I made your inspiration board using all calla lilies and roses. I chose a few different shades of orange — including a more yellow calla lily as well — and of course added both flowers in white. I think using both roses and callas per the bouquets is a beautiful idea. You can incorporate the ivy to the bouquets by using that as the greenery — you could even use some hanging ivy as part of the wedding arrangements/centerpieces. I hope you like your board!
