Get a quick list of Fall flowers – decorations, celebrations and other fun festive ideas!
There’s a chill in the air and pumpkin spice nearly everywhere, BUT, there’s still one small thing missing to complete the rise of fall’s spooky season. Fall flowers – decorations, celebrations and other ways to bring in these beautiful natural elements!
In addition to seasonal pumpkin spice latte fixes, flowers are the perfect way to liven up fall celebrations using natural colors and creative additions. From costume accessories to lush decorations, these natural beauties can be a neat trick for your home and a thoughtful treat for fall events.
The possibilities are endless, but here are a few ideas to get you going (and maybe growing)! Flowers have been a part of seasonal traditions since their first sprout, and their applications have grown throughout time due to their versatility and color potency.
Most flower shops can go beyond bouquets and arrangements to create customized designs to wear or share for any fall event. Some even offer DIY opportunities or materials to help match the event’s needs. Our designers are all very creative people and LOVE the challenge of helping you bring your fun Fall vision to life. From weddings to entry ways to tablescapes and everything in between, we can help you create something unique and beautiful and work with all budgets.
Whether flowers are being used for Halloween or another fall celebration, these ideas will help get the most power out of petals with your local flower shop!

Repurposing dried or dead flowers for creepy (and natural!) Halloween decorations
From walkways and paths to the classic “rose trapped in glass” display, dried flower petals can be a classic end-of-life element with many Fall flowers retaining much of their pigmentation when dried. This means you can add beautiful pools of color and since they either blow away or dissolve with time, there’s no cleanup in the yard!
Displaying cut marigolds or customized arrangements for Day of the Dead celebrations
Marigolds are a big part of the Dia de los Muertos – Day of the Dead – celebration. It is said that the spicy fragrance of these bright orange and yellow flowers are beacons for the souls to be guided to their family homes. And even though this day commemorates those who have passed, it is intended as a celebration and these cheerful flowers certainly add the feeling of festivity and celebration.
Decorating outdoor areas with wreaths and garlands made from fall flowers like Sunflowers or Mums
As the days grow shorter and the sun isn’t quite as bright, what better way to add some cheer and lightness to your home than to add a pretty decorative piece to your door. We have TONS of creative ideas for you to make this all your own! We’ve repurposed empty frames – like below, pool noodles covered with greenery and flowers, grapevine wreaths we can redo for every season, custom designs, items for one season or to be used year to year. Come on in, share what you envision and let’s see what we can come up with that will be uniquely yours!
Designing or ordering Halloween-themed bouquets with dark colors or ghost-themed arrangements!
Did we mention we love being creative? Some of our most popular designs at this time of year are our spooky-adjacent arrangements using super dark and deliciously dramatic flowers. When you look at them, you totally get the Halloween vibe all while being able to appreciate the incredibly beauty of these flowers.
We also love to make arrangements like the one below – bring in your favorite Halloween or seasonal object and we can work it into an arrangement that will be totally custom to your tastes and style and tell a fabulous festive story!
Crafting with paper or paints to make artificial flowers to last the whole season!
For items that can last and be used every year, consider using silk flowers in the beautiful colors of Fall to put some punchy freshness into your decorative items. Handmade or store bought vignettes can really come to life with tiny decorative elements made with the flowers of the season and will make your seasonal decor unmissable!
Celebrate Birthdays and Gatherings
Autumn months are filled with great holidays from Halloween to Thanksgiving, and there are LOTS of birthdays celebrated in between the leaf raking and pie baking!
Marigolds and Cosmos are the birth flowers for October, and they can be given to loved ones in bouquet form or printed necklace form for added longevity. We carry these in the shop so you can pick one up when you are in or add one to an on-line order.
And for a great gift for fall birthdays or household celebrations, you can never go wrong with themed arrangements. Seasonal designs like our Pumpkin in Radiance arrangement make elegant centerpieces and festive additions to family get-togethers!
Figuring out how to decorate Fall celebrations don’t have to be scary. With a little help from nature and your local florist, your autumn will be all that and more! Remember, Fall flowers – decorations, celebrations, birthdays all included – are always an excellent option!
