As soon as September hits, there's a definite shift in the air. We start thinking about cosy jumpers, lighting the fire, and swapping out those light summer linens for richer textures. This urge to update our surroundings is a natural part of the seasonal change, and there’s no easier or more beautiful way to do it than with fresh flowers.
Here at our florist shop in Didsbury, Manchester, we've noticed a real buzz around autumnal palettes already. We've been looking at what’s trending in the world of fashion and interiors, and we've got some ideas on how you can bring those gorgeous new colours into your home with stunning blooms. Think of it as a style update that takes seconds to achieve!
The Power of Rich Maroons & Burgundies
Fashion experts are saying goodbye to cherry red this season and hello to something a little more grown-up: rich maroon. This is a trend we're particularly excited about because it translates so beautifully to flowers.
Maroons and deep burgundies have a sophisticated feel, perfect for adding a sense of drama and warmth to any room. We love using burgundy and purple chrysanthemums, which are in their element this time of year, to create a sense of depth. And of course, you can't go wrong with classic red roses to add a touch of romance and luxury to the mix.
Brighten Up with a Splash of Mustard
Remember butter yellow? It's stepping aside for its bolder, earthier counterpart: mustard. This trend is all about a warm, golden glow, and it’s one that flowers do perfectly.
Sunflowers are the obvious choice here, their bright heads full of cheer and guaranteed to bring a slice of sunshine indoors. For a more refined look, a bunch of golden yellow roses captures that on-trend mustard hue beautifully. These flowers are perfect for a coffee table or mantelpiece, where they can catch the light and add a warm radiance to your space.
The Unexpected Twist: Pastel Halloween
Now, here’s a trend that might surprise you, but it’s becoming increasingly popular: Pastels for Halloween. Forget spooky oranges and blacks; this is about creating a softer, more elegant autumnal vibe
We've been working with some really beautiful blooms that fit this look perfectly. Think of the soft, peachy-pink hues of garden roses, or the warm, butterscotch tones of Toffee roses (shown). One of our favourites is the Mochaccino rose (shown), with its warm pick-brown tones. These flowers create a subtle, sophisticated arrangement that looks fantastic with simple white pumpkins or dark, moody foliage for a bit of contrast.
Bring It All Together
The best part about these trends? You don't have to stick to just one. We find that the most beautiful arrangements mix and match different textures and colours. You could combine rich maroons with a pop of mustard yellow or soften a dark arrangement with a delicate touch of pastel.
Whatever your style, our expert team of florists in Manchester can help you create the perfect arrangement – be it a summer-autumn transition bouquet, door wreath or tablescape.
