Coxcomb Flowers – Bouquets for Fall

Today Sarah Winward of Honey of a Thousand Flowers‘s wedding flower segment is showing us fresh Fall hues and blooms that are available during this season. She designed a gorgeous bouquet using today’s flower feature, coxcomb. Needless to say, its texture makes the bouquet look so rich. Thank you Heather Nan for the beautiful images!

Coxcomb are a love โ€˜em or hate โ€˜em flower. To some they look like velvet and sea coral. They have thick stems, and sort of a v-shaped base, but the top of the flowers is the most interesting.

Coxcomb are available summer to fall. They come in a range of colors, from a light green to a honey-yellow, orange to rust, red, burgundy, and a deep fuchsia. I have seen a dark purple from time to time too.

Here they are used in bud vases, and a bouquet. While they are tricky to use in single vases because they have such thick stems, itโ€™s a good look if your vases have a wide enough opening. They are such an interesting shape that I think they are often at their best when they are isolated. Coxcomb are great in bouquets because you can showcase the tops of them.

  • I really love the bouquet she’s holding.

    Last year I took pictures of one of the most autumn-like and wonderful flowers ever!

    Almost at the end of:

  • Love them, such beautiful texture and warm colours! Great for the mixed bouquet I’m making in October ๐Ÿ™‚

  • LOVE the unique velvety texture and deep colors. These are good flowers to dry and keep. Just beware – as they dry out they shed tiny black bead-like seeds eeeeverywhere. I learned that lesson the hard way! ๐Ÿ˜‰
