Have you felt it? That shift in the air to crisper mornings. The earlier sunsets can only mean one thing: that summer is waning, and fall is fast approaching. Despite the changing seasons, certain flowers continue to thrive, brightening the autumn days with their cheerful presence. Read on for our favorite fresh flowers that bridge the seasons between summer and fall.
Fresh Flowers That Transition Your Home Décor from Summer to Fall
Zinnia
Zinnias are the quintessential summer flower, with their radial shapes and saturated colors. Yet, their palette of burnt orange, simmering yellow, and mauve hints at the fall hues to come. When these flowers are used as a focal point in an early fall flower arrangement, they add depth and texture to any space.
Snapdragon
There's something effervescent about the snapdragon! It's individual florets and bi-colored varieties make any floral arrangement they are included in dazzle. Like the zinnia, a snapdragon's vibrant coral, orange, and peach colors are perfect for when your home décor is transitioning from summer to fall. Moreover, its tall spire shape adds a hint of spooky variety, making it perfect for leaning into October's spooky season.
Dahlia
Dahlias, renowned for their diverse colors, sizes, and shapes, are true showstoppers. Unlike other flowers that might start to wilt at summer's end, Dahlias flourish and bloom well into October if the weather cooperates. Their vibrant colors and intricate petal structures make dahlias perfect for embodying the essence of both summer's warmth and fall's richness.
A Floral Farewell to Summer
These flowers, though just a handful, highlight nature's ability to blend the warmth of summer sunsets with the rich tapestry of fall. They remind us to savor the fleeting moments of beauty and encourage us to appreciate the full spectrum of nature’s gifts.
