Autumn does not tiptoe in - it sweeps through with a flourish of bold colour and texture. At Blooming Amazing Flower Company, our florists wait all year for this moment. We hand-pick the finest autumn flowers, blending striking hues and tactile foliage in arrangements that speak of changing light and brisk, golden afternoons. 

Our florists shape every bouquet with seasonal blooms we love. We believe that, handled correctly, autumn flowers can outlast even the rainiest Dublin week. Below, you’ll find our favourite picks for autumn flowers, ideas for styling them at home and care tips to help your bouquet stay beautiful for longer.

What Makes Autumn Flowers Distinctive?

Look closely at any autumn bouquet and you’ll notice the colours deepen, the textures grow more interesting and there’s a scent in the air that hints at woodsmoke and spice. Autumn flowers transform everyday spaces into places you want to linger. They are thick with abundance and no other season brings such richness.

• Seasonal Colour Highlights

Autumn floral arrangements lean into drama. Think deep reds, burnt orange, gold and burgundy. Dahlias, chrysanthemums and amaranthus steal the show with these saturated tones. Hydrangeas too, shift from summer blue to antique green and russet. That spectrum (warm, moody, sometimes unexpected) turns a simple vase into the centre of attention.

• Unique Textures and Forms

This season’s flowers invite touch as much as admiration. You’ll spot velvety petals, intricate seed heads and ruffled edges everywhere. Berries (hypericum and rosehips, for example) add punctuation while autumn foliage curls and twists in shades that change from day to day. Ornamental grasses and textured greens lend arrangements a wild, just-gathered feel.

• Scent and Sensory Appeal

Autumn has its own olfactory signature. Eucalyptus releases a clean, herbal note, while some chrysanthemums add subtle spice. Even the foliage (earthy and almost smoky) brings a new dimension. These scents linger in a room quietly reminding you that autumn’s here.

Florist’s Top 4 Picks for Autumn Bouquets

Every stem in a Blooming Amazing Flower Company autumn bouquet is chosen for a reason: colour, shape, longevity or maybe just the way it catches the light. Here are a few of our favourite flowers for this season - ones we return to year after year, showcasing the best seasonal blooms.

1. Dahlias and Chrysanthemums

Dahlias dominate autumn, offering surprising shapes and a palette that ranges from moody burgundy to cheerful coral. Chrysanthemums, in contrast, are all about structure: their intricate petals hold their form and the colours are reliably deep. Both make excellent anchors for mixed bouquets.

2. Hydrangea and Amaranthus

Hydrangeas evolve into autumn with heads that shift from pastel to vintage green and pink. Big, dramatic, and perfect for adding volume. Amaranthus, meanwhile, trails elegantly, its velvety stems introducing movement and depth. Paired together, they are anything but shy.

3. Hypericum, Rosehips and Berries

It is impossible to think of autumn bouquets without berries. Hypericum and rosehips supply small bursts of colour and textural interest. They also help arrangements last, keeping things fresh and playful.

4. Foliage and Grasses

No autumn display feels finished until you add foliage and grasses. Think copper beech, oak leaves or seeded eucalyptus - these offer movement and a sense of change. Ornamental grasses offset bold blooms with softness, rounding out arrangements with an organic touch.

How to Style Autumn Flowers at Home

Arranging autumn flowers is about more than placing them in a vase. Our team encourages a little experimentation. Here’s how to get the most out of your autumn stems.

Steps for Styling Autumn Flowers

A clear, step-by-step approach can help everyone achieve beautiful arrangements at home:

1. Select a sturdy vase with a wide opening for abundance and stability.

2. Begin with a base of greenery, such as eucalyptus or autumn leaves.

3. Add focal flowers like dahlias or hydrangeas for colour and impact.

4. Weave in berries or smaller accents for texture and interest.

5. Vary stem heights and group colours thoughtfully for a natural look.

6. Allow stems to sprawl slightly, creating an intentional, relaxed effect.

Table Centrepiece Ideas

For a showstopping centrepiece, use a low, wide container and let stems drape and overflow. Combine bold flowers, trailing amaranthus and clustered berries for a look that feels generous. Try tucking candles or including seasonal fruit around your flowers for extra warmth, especially if you’re gathering friends and family.

Caring for Autumn Flower Arrangements

Proper care is straightforward. Follow these steps to keep your autumn flowers looking their best:

• Trim each stem at an angle with sharp scissors or a knife – the slanted cut exposes more surface area, helping stems drink deeply.

• Remove any leaves below the waterline to keep the water clean – submerged foliage encourages bacteria that shorten vase life.
  

• Let stems hydrate in fresh water for a few hours before arranging – this “conditioning” plumps petals and prevents early wilting.
  

• Change the water every couple of days and use the right amount of flower food – fresh water plus nutrients keeps blooms vibrant for longer.
  

• Keep your arrangement away from direct sunlight, heat, and drafts – cooler, steady conditions slow the ageing of petals.
  

• Remove fading stems and re-trim remaining ones to refresh the display – a quick reset revives water flow and tidies the bouquet.
