As the seasons change, so does our approach to colour. Autumn and winter offer so many beautiful possibilities for dried flower designs, from deep berry tones and cool blues to warm golden shades and rich, vibrant colours.
Whether you're creating bouquets, wreaths, installations or seasonal displays, choosing a considered colour palette is a simple way to bring your designs together.
We've put together three autumn/winter colour palettes to inspire your next dried flower creation.
Woodland Berry
Deep, atmospheric and timeless, Woodland Berry brings together rich berry tones with natural greens and cool blue accents.
This palette is perfect for creating depth and texture in winter dried flower bouquets and wreaths, while the combination of darker tones and natural shades gives arrangements a look that feels seasonal without being overly traditional.
Think deep burgundy, plums and reds balanced with soft greens, blue accents and natural textures. It's a versatile palette that works beautifully for winter weddings, seasonal installations and retail displays.
Bunches to explore: Red Amaranthus, Plum Amaranthus, Blue Thistle, Giant Thistle, Eucalyptus, Ammobium, Lagurus and Nigella Pod.
Golden Meadow
Warm and inviting, Golden Meadow captures the essence of autumn with a mix of warm orange, honey and apricot tones alongside natural greens.
This palette is all about warmth and richness, making it a beautiful choice for autumn arrangements that feel natural, seasonal and full of colour.
Layering different shades of yellow, orange and apricot with green foliage and textural flowers creates arrangements with plenty of depth, while the softer honey tones help to bring the palette together.

Combining intense shades with softer natural textures creates plenty of visual interest, whether you're working on a statement bouquet, seasonal installation or eye-catching retail display.
For a palette that feels colourful and abundant, layer different depths of pink and purple with pops of bright yellow, then add natural textures such as nigella pods and lagurus to balance the stronger shades.
