Fall is one of the most popular seasons to travel to Maine. The vibrant changing colors of the foliage amidst a backdrop of evergreen pines, the brilliant blue ocean, and the sparkling clear sky create a perfect setting for a destination wedding. Wedding bouquets and flowers for the fall season have a wide range of color, texture, and style.
Are you planning a fall wedding but not sure what wedding flowers you want? Here are some ideas to get your creative vision started.
DESTINATION WEDDINGS
Recently, two of our destination wedding couples chose botanical artistry in sync with their own style and celebrated the beauty of the fall season here in Maine. The first couple chose this BTF arbor design for their outdoor wedding last month at the Bar Harbor Inn. It flowed incredibly well with the beautiful landscape design at this iconic resort.

Another recent destination wedding couple married in an outdoor ceremony at The Lucerne Inn.
They celebrated their special day with fall wedding flowers in vibrant BTF fresh floral bouquets, saturated in jewel tones.
Rich and warm jewel tones often showcase colors of purple, raspberry, burgundy and deep shades of blue, creating an element of visual depth and intrigue.
CLASSIC FALL COLOR PALETTE
Always popular, the classic fall colors in various shades of orange, bronze and rust work especially well in highlighting the nature of this season. These photos of wedding reception centerpieces by Butera The Florist reflect the captivating natural palette of the fall season.

TEXTURE AND COLOR
Brides often choose a strong amount of color and texture in their bridal bouquet for a fall wedding and reflect those same intensities in the floral decor for their ceremony and reception. A fall bride collaborated with Vince Butera in the conceptual design for this wedding arch and her bridal bouquet.
The bride, Elizabeth, described her experience with Vince Butera on Wedding Wire with these words.
“He has an amazing ability to listen closely to what your vision for the day is, explain his approach to make it happen by painting a picture of beautiful colors and flowers and special touches, then transform it into floral arrangements that are more stunning than you could ever imagine!”
SOPHISTICATED ORGANIC STYLE
Another couple who married in the fall season chose to limit the color palette of their BTF floral designs to various tones of white and green. Many artists throughout history have engaged this ingenious strategy of a limited color pallete with finesse.
Collaborating with Vince during the planning, this couple achieved a romantic and sophisticated visual of floral artistry for their wedding day.
The wedding ceremony hanging arch and bridal bouquet by BTF feature phaleanopsis orchids in a clean color palette of whites and greens. Notice how the organic nature of the waterfall cascade bridal bouquet has depth, movement, and outdoor natural elements. This design style is also reflected in the exquisite hanging arch.
This style works exceptionally well for the couple who desires botanical artistry that is visually soft, warm, romantic, classic and timeless.

TEXTURE IN FLORAL DESIGN
Texture is one of Butera The Florist’s top recommendations for wedding couples to consider when planning their fall wedding. Think about the berries, the pods, the vines, the rustling leaves, and the harvest of grains when considering what can make your floral wedding decor resonate for this season.
COLOR, TEXTURE & STYLE
Butera The Florist recommends these three primary design elements for top consideration when planning your wedding flowers and talking with professional florists.
Gabrielle, the beautiful bride in this photo, described her experience on The Knot review site with these words.
“A true artist of heart, Butera the Florist creates one of a kind pieces that perfectly bring visions and dreams to life. The flowers for our wedding day were just exquisite, and exactly as I had hoped they’d be. Vince Butera made my day feel like a fairytale. He truly loves what he does, and is the most genuinely kindest, talented, extraordinary florist I have ever met.”
