The Flower Journal · The autumn edit 2026
Rich colour.
Real texture.
A little autumn magic.
Three ways to bring the season home, with flowers full of warmth, character and feeling.
The light softens. The leaves turn. Suddenly, a room calls for something a little warmer.
October in Nottingham has a beauty all of its own. Golden walks, crisp mornings and evenings that invite us to slow down. Our autumn 2026 range brings that feeling indoors, from sunflower-bright celebrations to bouquets in soft woodland shades.
At Welch, we love this season for three things: colour that lifts the mood, texture that catches the eye and flowers that make a gesture feel personal. Whether you are celebrating a birthday, saying thank you or treating your own home, here are three beautiful places to begin.
Three moods. Three bouquets. Your autumn.
Find the feeling you want to send.
You do not have to choose the loudest bouquet to make the biggest impression. Start with the person, picture their space and pick a palette they will love.
Make it joyful.
Bright. Bold. Full of life.
The Sunflower Carnival is a generous burst of burgundy, red, orange and yellow, with at least five sunflowers and two roses. It is our pick for a big birthday, a heartfelt congratulations or a thank you that deserves a little fanfare.
Let its sunny colour take centre stage on a side table, where everyone can enjoy it.

Soft. Soothing. Full of character.
The Enchanted Forest takes its cue from peaceful walks beneath autumn trees. Soft peach, cream and brown meet at least two roses and dried, painted foliage for a gentler interpretation of the season.
Choose it for a thoughtful thinking-of-you gift, a new home or someone who loves understated colour. Available in Standard, Large and Extra Large.

A florist’s finishing touches
Three little choices. A lovely difference.
Choose your palette.
Echo one colour already in the room, or introduce a warm contrast. Golden flowers lift a neutral corner; soft peach brings a gentle glow.
Let texture speak.
Give petals and foliage room to shine. A simple glass or ceramic vase keeps the attention on the flowers and their natural movement.
Make it personal.
Remember their favourite colour, choose a meaningful moment and add a message in your own words. The thought stays with them.
Clean vase. Fresh water. A cool spot.
Three simple habits help your flowers look their best. Begin with a thoroughly clean vase, follow the flower-food instructions and refresh the water regularly. Remove leaves below the waterline and trim stems with clean, sharp tools.
Keep the bouquet away from radiators, strong direct sunshine and ripening fruit. For more practical advice, visit our flower care guide.
