I am looking for medium orange, darker burgandy, and ivory flowers that are considered in season in the fall. They would be used for wedding bouquets. I'm not a fan of roses. The more unknown and unusual, the better.
A florist will be consulted when I have a better idea of what I want.

I'd like to apologize ahead of time if this is under the wrong category. I didn't want to post it in the wedding category as I am looking for types of flowers and plants and not necessarily what others have used or what is "pretty."

Or the orange pansy's, they have a fall like color to them also, and if this is for a wedding, you could even cook them/sugar coat them etc and spread them around, they are edible

Pansy's come in all kinds of colors, I preferably like them the most for what your doing :D
