October is really the month for the rich jewel tones contrasting with the turning leaves. Many brides opt for more foliage and dried grasses in the arrangement in this month.

Mums and roses are a traditional combination for winter weddings. A growing trend is to combine the lavender and dusky pink Mums with white or mauve roses. Greenery is kept the dusty greens and silvers to highlight the floral colors. White lilies are often used as the central flower of to provide the cascade appearance.
