Embracing Autumn

A Celebration of Seasonal Florals in Australia

  • April 1, 2025
Embracing Autumn

As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, autumn casts a warm, golden glow across the Australian landscape — and it’s one of our favourite times of year for flowers. There’s something incredibly grounding about the colours, textures, and tones that come with the change of season, making it a perfect time to bring nature’s beauty into your home, wedding, or event.

The Colours of Autumn

Autumn florals are all about embracing rich, earthy hues that reflect the season’s natural palette. Think warm rust, deep burgundy, mustard yellow, soft peach, and toasty caramel. These tones evoke a sense of comfort and nostalgia — like a cup of tea by the fire or the crunch of leaves underfoot. For a softer take, we also love incorporating blush, dusty rose, and antique mauves for a romantic autumn vibe.

Seasonal Blooms We Love Right Now

Australia’s autumn offers a bounty of locally grown, in-season flowers that are as sustainable as they are beautiful. Some of our favourites this time of year include:

 

  • Dahlias – A showstopper in any arrangement, dahlias come in an incredible range of shapes and sizes, from soft pastels to bold jewel tones.
  • Chrysanthemums – A classic autumn bloom, they add texture and volume and are available in so many warm shades.
  • Zinnias – These playful, vibrant flowers are perfect for adding pops of colour and joy.
  • Cosmos – Light and airy, cosmos bring a whimsical, garden-picked feel.
  • Lisianthus – With delicate, rose-like petals, lisianthus is a go-to for a soft and elegant look. Available in creamy whites, blush, lavender, and soft pinks — perfect for creating a more ethereal autumn vibe.
  • Scabiosa – Also known as pincushion flowers, scabiosa adds gentle texture and movement. The mauve, dusty pink and creamy tones are especially lovely in autumn palettes.
  • Queen Anne’s Lace – A beautiful, airy filler that brings a touch of vintage charm. Its delicate clusters of tiny white flowers add softness and a light, open texture to arrangements.
  • Snapdragons – They add gentle height and a lovely pastel palette of apricot, blush, white, and soft lemon tones.
  • Sweet Peas – Depending on the region, sweet peas can still make an appearance in early autumn, offering a beautifully scented, ruffled softness in pastel hues.
  • Garden Roses – Soft, full, and romantic, garden-style roses in muted pinks, creams, and peach tones are perfect for weddings or dreamy arrangements this time of year.
  • Sedum ‘Autumn Joy’ – Sedum transitions from green to dusty pink and eventually copper as autumn progresses. It’s subtle but adds richness and a muted softness to arrangements.
  • Dusty Miller – Not a bloom, but this silvery-grey foliage adds a velvety, cool contrast that softens bolder florals and brings balance to autumn arrangements.
  • Other foliages – Earthy tones from preserved and fresh foliage like copper beech, smokebush, and eucalyptus add depth and grounding to arrangements.

The Autumn Vibe

Autumn florals lend themselves to a more relaxed, organic style. Whether you’re styling a cosy home setting, a seasonal table arrangement, or planning a wedding with a moody, romantic theme, the natural textures and tones of the season help create that effortless, undone elegance.

It’s also the perfect time of year to experiment with dried or preserved elements, which blend beautifully with fresh blooms and add interesting contrasts in texture.

Sustainable and Local

One of the things we love most about designing with autumn flowers is the abundance of local, in-season options. Supporting local flower growers means your florals are fresher, more eco-conscious, and help reduce the environmental impact of imported blooms. It’s all part of our commitment to sustainable floral design.
