Football mums can be found almost year-round and are a perfect filler for bouquets and centerpieces. They can be found in many colors and because of their large size, are perfect to increase the size of your arrangement in an inexpensive way!
Here’s some of my favorites!
These football mums might not be the spotlight but they’re a perfect, soft filler.

oh my these are sooo lovely! I am going ot show the picture of the bouquet with the pink roses to my cousin, those are her colrs and I thing she would love this!!!
These are very beautiful flowers! I love that they are inexpensive and pretty much year round. Win/win!! And your bouquets…wow. What are the little ball-y things in yours? (Flowers are not my forte)
Love these - so puffy and pretty!
so true! I used dinnerplate dahlias for our wedding and they are about the same size as these mums. They really fill out centerpieces and a single flower can be a bouquet for a bridesmaid. Great post:)
So pretty! I am in love with your bouquets from your wedding!
I always love your inspiration pictures! I had never heard of these flowers before…are they good at not wilting too quickly? Isn't that often the complaint of other big, fluffy flowers (e.g. peonies and garden roses)? As you can see, I know nothing about flowers. LOL
@Miss Puppy Love - yes, they last forever (and hold true to their shape, too!)
What pretty flowers! I love the yellow mums - the pop of color is so fun! :)
Dusty Miller and yellow football mums is doing it for me right now. Loving the combo. Great post :)
These are all just so pretty and elegant. Love 'em!! I have AT&T. You will LOVE the i phone!!
Great tip!
i really really love these mums! gorgeous!
I always love looking at your wedding flowers! Just a beautiful combination of flowers. I love the yellow mums too! :) Just a pop of color always makes me smile!
I forget about mums - they are so simple and gorgeous!
oh mums remind me of my amazing grandmother :) they will absolutely be in my wedding floral line-up (someday!) :) - the complete redesign is fabulous, Jacin! loving it <3
Wow! I've never seen mums like these before! So pretty!
