Floral arrangements

We are having a Harry Potter themed wedding on Samhain (Halloween, I'm Wiccan). We are also having an outdoor handfasting ceremony and I'm not sure what flowers would go with the season or my theme. Any ideas?

    Yellow and burgundy would we a great fit- both are fall and Gryffindor colors. Smiley laugh

    That's something I've been thinking about since we are both Gryffindors. We've also assigned each bridesmaids and groomsmen a House, and I was thinking they all get House colors, but I don't know how easy or expensive that would be with the time of year

    Hi, fellow Harry Potter fan here!! Lilies spring to mind for obvious reasons but not the best time of year for them.

    For a Harry Potter theme I would go with natural styled arrangements, wild flowers, maybe with some herbs and botanicals to tie in with herbology and potions.

    Or just go full on Hagrid and have a pumpkin patch 😁

    I think pumpkins would be a very cute idea! We are planning on the wedding in my grandpa's orchard since that's where we met, I bet we could come up with a nice setup for that

    Oh wow, that would perfect especially in an orchard!

    We are doing a general book themed wedding so we'll definitely have a few Potter nods here and there 😀

    I feel like it may depend on your budget and time. I've always felt like the more you try to tweak things to each person, the more complicated it gets.

    For instance, when speaking with our florist I asked for everyone to have white roses. the only difference was my bouquet which also included blush roses. That way there was cohesiveness across the board.

    That's what I'm trying to figure out. I don't wanna go over the top on the price of flowers, but I also don't wanna be too uniform and have them all exactly the same

    Get mum's. Fuji mums can be dyed and they are cheap in the fall. Mums come in Orange, yellow, white and lavender.

    Love this theme
    I don't know why when I think of Harry Potter I think rustic and wild natural flowers rather than colorful.

    What a cool idea! If you have a HP house of choice to represent you could choose flowers in the house colors. For example I’m a Gryffindor and sunflowers are always good in the fall, and you could pair them with a red flower to represent the crimson and gold of the house. If your another house I’m sure there are tons of options there too! Or you could just pick some pretty fall flowers and go with those!

    We are both Gryffindors, but my biggest issue is would it clash with bridesmaid dresses as they are all assigned a House?

    Wonderful theme. Ours is Grease. Almost went with Harry Potter. Gryffindor colors would be beautiful.

    I would find some really cool mumms.... maroon, white, yellow, orange. They can pretty much dye them any color as well. They are not super expensive, and are pretty large so fewer will be needed.
