Chrysanthemum, festive, eye-catching, and versatile, it’s also a wonderful bloom to incorporate into fall weddings. Why chrysanthemums? Ask any DIY bride and they’ll tell you: these autumn bloomers are the perfect addition to your wedding bouquet. Not only are they gorgeous, but chrysanthemum flowers are also incredibly versatile.
They can be used in both formal and informal settings, and work well as centerpieces, bouquets, or boutonnieres. These timeless flowers also come in several varieties, including spider mums, football mums, and cremons; all great to use as focal or filler flowers for your wedding bouquet. There are over 150 varieties of this stunning flower to choose from, whether you prefer the bushy, fanned out types or spider blooms featuring spindly petals with curled ends you’ll find something that speaks to you. With a name that translates literally to gold flower, from the Greek words ‘chryos’ and ‘anthemon’ it’s no wonder this bloom deserves a place in your top 10.
What Are the Most Popular Chrysanthemums?
The most popular colors are pink, red, yellow, white and orange ones, yellow and orange mums being the most loved for fall wedding arrangements and bouquets. Although they may not make it into your average bridal bouquet (but we think they should!) chrysanthemums should not be undervalued for decor in church and reception arrangements. The single white varieties are a wonderful substitute for brides looking for ‘daisies’ in their wedding bouquet and the bloom variety look fabulous in modern designs, adding flamboyance and style.
