Fall weddings open up a whole new range of possibilities, from color palette to flower choice. Although the chrysanthemum can bloom year round, its willingness to bloom in fall makes it an ideal option for wedding bouquets; its sheer diversity is another reason that the mum is so often utilized in bridal bouquets, centerpieces and altar flowers. No matter the look you are creating ,there is a mum that will fit .
There are over 2,000 varieties of chrysanthemum, and they are classified into 13 main types, designated by the arrangements and shape of their petals. Incurve varieties look just as their name implies, with petals which curve inward to the center of the flower head. Incurves represent some of the largest and fullest blooms available in the mum family. These lavish blossoms are wonderful in centerpieces and altar flowers, as they are voluminous and fill out the arrangements with rich color. Pompons are much smaller, and the petals hug the center tightly; while decorative chrysanthemums are most often found at florists.
Two of the more exotic examples of the mum are the anemone and spider mums. These unique -and aptly named – blooms have names that accurately describe their appearance, making them an excellent option for bouquets. They bring a texture and interest to wildflower bouquets, and can be especially impressive in cascading arrangements, as they evoke the look of the tropics and rain forests.
