Many flowers come in the bright orange - lilies, callas, gerbs, carns, roses, freesia, et.





Also check out hypericum berries - they can be tinted to a chocolate brown with design master stain (for flowers)

Reply:I love Gerber daisies, as the other poster mentioned! They can tend to be pricey for a small amount, however!





Zinnias and Dahlias are in season in October and could actually be harvested yourself, to save money! (Just plant the bulbs indoors or out, in pots, at the appropriate time.





And it's nice to allow guests to take this sort of thing home, as memorbilia of the wedding. You could perhaps place one large pot (terra cotta pots would go with your color scheme...maybe adorned with some ribbon or other?) with the flowers, on each table...maybe make a smaller trinket/pot for others to take. (I know someone who did this and they made an announcement that the person with a smiley under their chairs, were the ones who were allowed to take the item home)





If you want to go with the Gerbers, I would suggest VASES over pots. You could purchase clear glass vases wholesale, fill bottom with color schemed rocks or glass, add water, flowers...just a couple stems for each table. Another way to spruce the vases up even more...transfer a fave pic of you and your groom to the vase...black and white looks gorgeous on glass!

I suggest you check out orange flowers at site above.





Since it is October, you could also have centerpieces include small pumpkins and gourds.
