For many of us, November marks the kick-off to the holidays, making it an attractive and festive time of year to say ‘I do’. With fall well and truly upon us and temperatures dropping, some brides and grooms choose to get married in late autumn to take advantage of the cosy, relaxed atmosphere. I love November, not only because it’s my birthday, but also because it’s a month that puts us in a cocoon of softness and warmth! In addition to having very interesting seasonal flowers that we are going to see together, it is a super interesting period of the year for its atmosphere and we are in low season! (that’s great for your wallet)
So, make no mistake, we’re talking mainly about the flowers that can be found in the Northern Hemisphere at this time of year. November is a time that offers an abundance of seasonal flowers, leaves, and branches, overflowing with rich colors and textures. Think earthy, warm, and deep tones that are found throughout nature in the fall season. We always recommend choosing seasonal and local foliage to our couples because it’s not only fresher and more vibrant, but also more cost-effective – and many florists will tell you the same! Indeed, considering local options for your unforgettable event is important, as out-of-season flowers must be imported from far-off destinations, which adds a significant cost. So, it’s a smart move for both your budget and your carbon footprint.
Amaryllis, with its imposing and elegant blooms, is an ideal flower for a November wedding. Its vibrant hues, ranging from deep red to pure white and including shades of orange, will bring a touch of sophistication to your decor.
This is a special species known as Christmas clematis. They are particularly beautiful with their purplish hues or with numerous freckles, adding depth and color to your arrangements. I have a particular fondness for the variety Clematis cirrhosa 'Freckles.'
Now, this is the emblematic flower of November! Although tradition associates it with mourning, this flower represents longevity and joy. Today, there are between 20,000 and 30,000 varieties, and they come in vibrant colors that we love for a colorful wedding: golden yellow, ruby red, bright orange...
Making a strong comeback in recent years, dahlias are primarily enchanting due to their incredible diversity of shapes, shades, and sizes. The palette of colors is vast, and we are fortunate to still enjoy their blooming in November. White, yellow, orange... the options are endless!
Gypsophila, whether you choose the one with the small white flowers or the colourful ones, is very popular for wedding decorations. Not very fragile, it's perfect for elaborate and unusual floral arrangements. Personally, I love them in large armfuls on raw materials!
Those delicate star-shaped flowers appear with the first frost. Use them on their own rather than in mixed bouquets, as their sap can be toxic to other flowers. Paperwhites are an excellent option for a November wedding, and they release a strong fragrance!
Here's a quirky flower we absolutely love! Made up of yellow-orange, paper-like lanterns, physalis is often called the "Japanese lantern" or "Love in a cage." As you can imagine, physalis is a perfect match for autumn bouquets with its beautiful seasonal hue.
The Piaget rose enchants with its large, soft pink flowers and intoxicating fragrance. Ideal for bridal bouquets, it combines sweetness and passion, reminiscent of the beautiful spring peonies. With its timeless beauty, it adds a touch of luxury to any celebration.
