Leaves crunch underfoot in Carleton Place as September edges into October, and the air carries hints of woodsmoke and ripening apples. This time of year calls for gifts that echo the landscape's shift — vibrant, grounded, and full of texture. At The Blossom Shop, our autumn flowers anchor these moments with their bold forms and saturated hues. Layer them alongside gift baskets, and you create packages that feel substantial, like a shared meal around a harvest table.
Draw from our collections of seasonal blooms, indulgent baskets, balloon accents, and small refinements to build something tailored. This guide walks through the pieces and how they fit together, pulling straight from what fills our shelves at 167 Bridge Street.
The Beauty of Autumn Flowers
Our fall flowers feature bold, seasonal blooms like sunflowers, chrysanthemums, alstroemerias, and roses in warm shades of orange, red, and gold. These sturdy flowers last 5–7 days with simple care, like fresh water and a cool spot.
The Golden Harvest Pumpkin Arrangement ($89.99) pairs sunflowers with chrysanthemums for a full, earthy look, perfect for a dining table. The Autumn Designers Collection II Bouquet ($70.00) blends alstroemerias and roses for a compact, elegant vibe. Both are sourced fresh daily with same-day delivery available in Carleton Place before 1 p.m.
Building the Perfect Gift Basket
Our gift baskets add a tasty, thoughtful touch to any flower arrangement. Choose from savory baskets with nuts, crackers, and dips, or go sweet with Lindt chocolates and candy assortments. We also feature beer & wine baskets for extra celebration.
Pairing ideas: the Autumn Rustic Bouquet with a Snack Basket ($50–$80) creates a rustic, hearty combo. Or match the Autumn Glory Bouquet with a Lindt Chocolate Basket ($60–$90) for indulgence and elegance.

Whimsical Touches: Balloons and Finishing Details
Sometimes it’s the little extras that transform a gift from thoughtful to unforgettable. Balloon bouquets add a sense of play, floating above autumn colours with a lightness all their own. Clusters in pumpkin orange, metallic copper, or soft neutrals can suit birthdays, milestones, or just-because surprises.
Refinements add another layer of meaning. Ceramic vases in slate or cream ground stems without distraction. Greeting cards, whether simple linen or illustrated, make it personal. Plush toys tuck into baskets for younger recipients, while a bottle of cabernet or merlot elevates a gourmet basket for adults.
Together, these extras aren’t just add-ons — they make every arrangement feel truly your own.
Pulling It All into Place
Canadian Thanksgiving lands on October 13 this year, but the impulse to mark fall's turn starts earlier. Begin with a bouquet that mirrors the light outside your window, then build out: a basket for flavour, a balloon for lift, a vase or note for permanence.
At The Blossom Shop, we assemble and deliver everything — same-day in Carleton Place, and reliable service beyond.
