What Kind of Flowers are the best for the fall?
The Best Fall Flowers for Your Home or Event
Fall in Colorado is one of the most beautiful times of the year. The air turns crisp, the leaves turn golden, and flowers take on warm, rich colors that make any space feel cozy. If you’re wondering what the best fall flowers are for your home, wedding, or special event, we’re here to help! At Hosanna Floral, we’ve helped women in Montrose, Ridgway, Ouray, Telluride, Gunnison, and Crested Butte find the perfect blooms to brighten up their fall days.
Let’s walk through our favorite flowers for fall and how you can use them!
Why Fall Flowers Are So Special
Fall flowers are more than just pretty. They bring warmth and beauty into your home or event when the trees outside start to lose their leaves. They also come in amazing colors like burgundy, orange, gold, and deep green.
One customer from Telluride once said her fall bouquet felt like “a hug from nature”, and we couldn’t agree more!
Top Fall Flowers We Love at Hosanna Floral
Dahlias
Dahlias come in tons of shapes and deep colors like red, maroon, and orange. They’re bold and elegant, which makes them perfect for fall weddings or centerpieces. We recently used orange dahlias in a Montrose bride’s bouquet, and she said they were her favorite part!
Chrysanthemums (Mums)
Mums are strong and come in just about every fall color you can imagine. They’re great for outdoor pots, porch decor, or Thanksgiving centerpieces. We get a lot of requests for rust-colored mums in Ridgway.
Sunflowers
Nothing says happy like a sunflower! Even in the cooler months, they brighten up a room. A Gunnison family ordered a sunflower and eucalyptus bouquet for their grandmother, and she said it made her entire week.
Marigolds
Marigolds are bold and bright. Their orange and gold petals fit right in with pumpkins and autumn decor. Some people even use them in fall festivals like Día de los Muertos.
Asters and Solidago (Goldenrod)
These wildflower-style blooms are delicate but add a lot of texture to bouquets. They're perfect if you’re going for a rustic mountain look—like many of our Crested Butte couples do!
Best Ways to Use Fall Flowers
Fall Wedding Bouquets
Fall weddings are magical in the Colorado mountains. We love designing bouquets with dahlias, roses, eucalyptus, and marigolds for weddings in Ouray or Telluride. The colors pop beautifully against mountain backdrops.
Table Centerpieces
Hosting a Thanksgiving dinner or fall brunch? A mix of mums, sunflowers, and greenery in a low arrangement works perfectly for your table. One customer in Montrose even added tiny pumpkins to her arrangement for extra fall charm.
Home Decor
Fall flowers aren’t just for events. They’re great for decorating your front porch, fireplace mantle, or entryway. Dried flowers, especially strawflowers and solidago, also last for months.
Tips for Picking Fall Flowers
Match Your Space
Look at the colors in your home or event. Choose flowers that match or complement those tones.
Go Local
Local flowers are fresher and last longer. At Hosanna Floral, we use locally grown stems whenever possible. Plus, it supports small farms in Colorado!
Don’t Be Afraid to Mix Textures
Fall is all about layers, leaves, fabrics, and yes, flowers! Combine big blooms like dahlias with smaller ones like asters for a beautiful, textured look.
