Staff Picks: Halloween Flower Favorites
Halloween isn’t just about costumes and candy—it’s also the perfect time to embrace the season’s most dramatic and moody florals. From deep burgundies and mysterious blacks to vibrant oranges and rich golds, fall flowers offer endless possibilities for creating stunning Halloween arrangements. We asked our team of floral experts to share their favorite picks for the spooky season, and their choices range from classic elegance to bold texture statements. Whether you’re designing arrangements for a Halloween party, fall wedding, or simply want to bring autumn vibes into your home, our staff’s insider tips will help you create something truly special.
Joost Bongaerts, CEO
His Pick: Orange Ilex, Red Ilex or Golden Ilex Berries
Why he loves them: “They bring instant seasonal color and texture to any arrangement. The berries hold up well, add height, and make a strong visual impact without needing much else.”
Pro tip: “Pair them with another color Ilex berry, orange pumpkin tree branches, and pampas grass for an autumn flavored Halloween arrangement.”
Megan Borzone, Floral Consultant
Her Pick: Orange Safflower
Why she loves it: “It gives just the right Halloween spooky vibes! It lasts SO long and adds a truly unique texture to arrangements.”
Pro tip: “Pair safflower with a larger focal flower to serve as a filler. It goes great with sunflowers, roses, orange Asiatic lilies, and more!”
Chad Martin, Floral Consultant
His Pick: Black Mini Callas
Why he loves it: “A classic, elegant flower with a moody color to match the spooky season!”
Pro tip: “They look amazing in a vase alone, adding in mini sunflowers and curly willow branches
adds an extra level of design and texture.”
Debbie Kline, Sales Manager
Her Pick: Sunflowers, All Kinds!
Why she loves them: “Love the ring of fire and strawberry blond varieties for their moody vibes, and the traditional sunflowers remind me of happy sunny fall days before winter sets in. They are hearty and long lasting and even if the petals start to go down, you can pluck those off and have the cool texture of the centers to last even longer!”
Pro tip: “Pair them with marigolds, craspedia, bronze cremones or spray mums along with nandina or another fall foliage for pumpkin patch vibes, or you could use curly willow or red dogwood tips with a little spider web material and even paint them for a spookier Halloween look!”
Jose Rabelo, Floral Consultant
His Pick: Burgundy Peonies
Why he loves them: “Peonies are amongst the most popular flowers all around the world and a personal favorite!”
Pro tip: “Pair them with Hades Butterfly Ranunculus, Chocolate Cosmos, Upright Red Amaranthus, Black Ninebark and a couple sprigs of Chocolate Geranium and claim the title for the ‘best host’ for the upcoming fall holidays!”
Jenna Foster, Buying Manager and Floral Consultant
Her Pick: Blackberries
Why she loves them: “Not only are they the prettiest fruiting branch, but they add the best texture to any arrangement.”
Pro tip: “Pair them with burgundy/black Roses, burgundy Hellebores, Silver Feather Grass, and Tinus Viburnum Berries, black Ninebark and it’s a dark Fall extravaganza!”
