It’s official that strange, but welcomed warm spell that felt like summer has given way to cool temperatures and the glorious turning of the leaves.

In honour of this seasonally glory, I wanted to share a burnt harvest orange bouquet I create for Sabrina for her lovely fall wedding to Nolan.

With weddings for the summer is high gear and only a month until the autumns are set to start, I find myself looking back to reminder all the seasonal items that I have to look forward to shortly.

It reminds of a Daniela and Sal’s wedding last fall. Two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet, by the way.

The look was of cabbages and burlap in green. You’ll see more of these inspired looks in the coming months.

Well, I guess there’s no denying it — winter is imminent.

I knew this to be especially true when a friend of mine from California told me that I should watch a sunset. I wrote back saying that at this time of year in Toronto, sunsets and for that matter sunrises are nowhere to be found.

While the sun is a rare sight with the days becoming shorter and the nights getting longer, this time of year is becoming an increasing popular time for weddings.

While colour is always an important factor, I believe that it’s especially important in light of our current season and when the temperatures are cool, wedding flowers can affect the “temperature” of an event by accentuating the coolness of the season or by warming things up with rich vibrant tones.

The latter idea was chosen for the elegant late fall wedding of my lovely clients Jill and Jason that took place at Deer Creek a few weeks ago.

Beautiful rich tones of classic fall tones in deep red and burnt orange gerberas and roses with bright green berry and pom accents finished with luxurious chartreuse satin ribbons were the colours and the materials of choice for the wedding flowers.

From the bridal bouquet to the ceremony arrangements and right through to the classic all round centerpieces, this rich and elegant choice of colours brought warmth and intimacy to a wedding on a cool November day.
