Well, autumn is a wonderful time of the year and is as good a place as any to draw inspiration from, there is an abundance of seed heads, grasses, berries, fruits as well as flowers to choose from. Rich earthy colour scheme of deep reds, rusts, with brown berries (hypericum) and a hint of gold would work well.
For the adults you could choose a flower from their bouquet, ask your florist to wire them onto a comb or individually. If they are wearing their hair up, a single bloom or comb will look really elegant tucked into the side of their hair. If they have long hair and are wearing it down then lots of smaller single flowers like rosebuds, small orchids or even daisies look informal and fun.
For your flower girl, head circlets are popular at the moment and are particularly suitable for young children, they are light and comfortable to wear.
