help! I need inspiration; I’m getting married at the end of October next year and have no idea what flowers to choose. We are having a church ceremony and our reception is in a marquee.

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.
