One way to brighten the room any time of the year is with flowers. But, fall flowers are special. They make the best arrangements for all the things the fall season brings to life – such as family togetherness, jumping around in fall leaves, and having a creamy and delicious pumpkin pie.
Have you ever wondered why the colors we choose for fall are reds, oranges, gold, russet, bronze, purples, yellows, and more? That’s because these are the colors of the flowers that bloom in the fall. You can stick to nature to create the best indoor flower arrangements and always hit the mark.

Mason Jars
Using Mason jars filled with stones from the river and water, you can add fresh flowers such as bright sunflowers, yellow mums, orange color carnations and various greenery tied off with some thin rope to add to the rustic look. You can use these as centerpieces or you can make several of them to line up at the back of your buffet.
Pumpkin Arrangement
Clean out the inside of a pumpkin to use as to create floral centerpieces. Insert floral foam, then fill with any type of fall flower (real or fake) that you desire, mixed with some greenery, dried leaves, and more. Try to use various heights in your arrangement to give interest. This works really well if you want something to put out on your porch for Halloween and Fall if you use faux flowers too!
Think Outside the Flower
Instead of using a floral arrangement, use a wood or pottery bowl and fill with fall items such as gourds, tiny pumpkins, greenery from outdoors, leaves, and more. This will make a wonderful centerpiece laid across a burlap table runner or standing on a coffee table.
Wooden Birdhouse Vase
Use a wooden birdhouse as a vase. Take off the roof and insert floral foam. Then insert different types of flowers into the foam to make a whimsy arrangement of fall flowers that people will notice. This is perfect with dried flowers or even faux flowers such as mini sunflowers or even a mixture including coral roses to make the color palette a little more varied.
Around a Mirror Frame
If you have a mirror in your house, it’s the perfect place for a fall flower arrangement. You can use dried flowers tied with twine, then shaped around the edge of the mirror for added interest and fall colors. The natural beauty will be reflected in the mirror to get twice as much of a display!
Wicker Basket
Go to the local charity shop and look for old wicker baskets. Insert floral foam, find dried fall flowers or even fall themed faux flowers, sticks, and pinecones to insert in an attractive arrangement. Think about the various things that grow in the fall and try to find dried versions of this so that the basket is overflowing with fall bounty. Use a white wicker basket for that Shabby Chic look.
Old Boots
A whimsical idea for fall flower arrangements is to use a pair of old leather cowboy boots. Clean them up but leave the rustic look, then use floral foam to anchor the arrangement with tall flowers and branches. It’ll make a great entryway rustic flower arrangement. Don’t be afraid to use some white flowers alongside classics like yellow sunflowers to bring out the colours of your custom flower arrangement.
What are the best flowers to use?
The best flowers to use are bold autumn flowers such as chrysanthemums, dahlias, hydrangeas, sunflowers, sweetgum branches and more. Just look at nature to see what is there. If you need dried flowers and plants, you can dry them yourself, order them online, or go to your local hobby store to find what you need.
