• Chrysanthemums: Chrysanthemums are a classic autumn flower, with their bright blooms and long stems. They are also a popular choice for cut flowers, as they can last for several weeks in a vase.
• Sunflowers: Sunflowers are a cheerful addition to any autumn garden or bouquet. Their bright yellow blooms and tall stems make them a standout, and they are also a good source of nectar for pollinators.

Your wedding flowers are a beautiful part of your big day, so it's important to keep them fresh and looking their best. Here are some tips:

• Start with fresh flowers. Ask your florist to deliver them as close to the wedding as possible.
• Keep them cool and hydrated. Store them in a cool, dark place until you're ready to use them. If you need to store them overnight, place them in a vase with fresh water and place the vase in the refrigerator.
• Cut the stems diagonally underwater. This will help the flowers absorb more water.
• Change the water daily. Add fresh water to your vases or arrangements daily. Be sure to remove any dead or dying leaves or flowers.
• Keep them away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Flowers are sensitive to heat and sunlight, so avoid placing them near windows or heat vents.
• Use a floral preservative. A floral preservative can help to extend the life of your flowers. Add it to the water in your vases or arrangements.

Here are some additional tips:

• Use spring water instead of tap water. Spring water is more natural and has fewer chemicals, which can harm flowers.
• Spray your flowers with water throughout the day. This will help to keep them hydrated and fresh.
• If you're using a bouquet holder, be sure to keep the water reservoir filled.
• At the end of the night, wrap your flowers in a damp paper towel and store them in the refrigerator. This will help to keep them fresh for the next day.
