{1} Vintage styles are popular now because they give your wedding a timeless look that won't feel dated when you look back at your wedding photos on your tenth anniversary.

{2} If you're having trouble coming up with an idea for your bouquet, bring a picture of your dress to your florist, suggests Allison Ellis of Floral Artistry.

{3} "The fall and winter woods and fields are full of all kinds of interesting greens, branches, berries, and cones," says Danika Johnson of Blomma Flicka Flowers. Don't forget these elements when looking for inspiration.

{4} "The "Hot Jewels" palette - rich, saturated shades of yellow, purple, orange, fuchsia, and turquoise - offers the freshest take on wedding colors," says Sarah Jo Willey of Creative Muse Floral Design.

{5} "Monochrome bouquets are definitely hot this year," says Randi Nonni of Silver Toad Floral Design. "All shades of one color makes for a lush, dramatic look." Keep it simple with creamy colors, or go bold with vivid reds.

{6} Incorporating fruits and vegetables into floral arrangements and bouquets is a playful way to bring a little of your personality to your wedding décor.

{7} Be creative with the handle of your bouquet, suggests Jasper & Prudence Floral. Instead of plain ribbon, weave the stems with lace, embellish them with jewelry, or play off one of the details of your gown.

{8} Choosing colored napkins instead of classic white or ivory is an easy and cost-effective way to work your palette into to your reception décor.

{9} Look for vintage or found objects to add life to your table, suggests Sarah Jo Willey of Creative Muse Floral Design. It not only gives your wedding a unique look but is also an ecologically responsible choice.

{10} Take advantage of the bounty of pumpkins and winter squash at the end of the year to incorporate the harvest's riches into your wedding style.
