dos gringos autumn collection We use the latest design styles and techniques including the Euro-style hand tied bouquet in our offerings. No matter what part of the country you are in, seasonal changes are exciting. Change is good! Beyond fall leaves, beyond pumpkins and crisp air, it reminds most of us of time together inside warm and cozy surroundings, gathered around a fireplace, good food and great friends. The Dos Gringos Autumn Collection of handcrafted Bouquets and Consumer Bunches was created for the celebration of the fall season. The colors are warm and rich and each bouquet has a texture and story all its own. With over 30 bouquets, each at three price points, you are in for an experience! Dos Gringos features eight varieties of sunflowers to express the color and bounty of the harvest. In addition we have added fun and funky fillers and all the natural and color enhanced foliages and botanicals you have come to expect from us.
The Dos Gringos Bouquet Collection features every color and flower of the season such as deep spice strawflowers, merlot chrysanthemum, tangerine French marigolds, maple colored lilies and vineyard colored grasses. If exotic is your flavor, then see our latest combinations with California protea, seeded eucalyptus, safari sunset leucadendron, California sage and more. Bouquets are handmade at standard industry length but can be created shorter for more optimized shipping and better vase display at store level. Most bouquets are round in form, the most favored style of most women buyers. Dos Gringos is a green company and as such we custom package to your liking. We showcase this collection with colorful round or square harmonious inserts and clear sleeves, however artisan natural recycled craft paper may be substituted. Some clients love bouquets simply in an oversized recyclable clear sleeve. This collection is the result of years of input by trendsetters, our customer base and our creative team of growers, sales associates and designers. We hope we bring you millions of smiles every day!

Like its’ namesake, a proven winner in good taste and robust form. The Red Sunbeam Sunflowers mixed with old-fashioned Straw Flowers, Millet Grass, Red Seeded Eucalyptus and others make this wild looking bouquet very stylish due to the complex texture and color scheme. Hence the name!

For anyone with fantastic memories of the golden state, here is a true souvenir of the golden fields of yesteryears. Funky, like California, with Green Mist, green Millet grass, Clover and berries. And let’s not forget the green and dark centered Sunflowers, with faces as happy as a vacation memory.

Mention hot apple cider and people smile! Add to that a bouquet by that name and you will double the pleasure. The uniquely Dos Gringos two-tone orange Sunsplash Sunflower is hot enough by itself but we’ve added rust Poms, Eucalyptus, field grasses and some rust foliage to round it out.

“Different by Design” TM, is the theme of this one-of-kind-bouquet recipe due to the unexpected combination of traditional red roses with trendy two-tone Mahogany Sunflowers. Just add some exciting filler materials in the form of truly uniquely California Silver Sage and seeded Eucalyptus, both in harvest tones.
4
If you prefer a clean, bright and colorful bouquet without tints, this is your bouquet! Framed in a Euro-style round insert in matching color, this long lasting bouquet with Mahogany Sunflowers, deep red Asiatic Lilies, berries and California field grown rust Mums will suit any fall home.
5
A balance of rich, copper hued autumn shades in a bouquet with only a pair of flowers. Button Poms and color matching light orange Sunflowers make a true statement of “less is more”. We’ve added some orange Silver Dollar Eucalyptus to show off the flowers, once in a vase.
6
Silky yellow petals punctuate a backdrop of burgundy reds and oranges. Radiant and simple. Due to the combination of materials and construction this bouquet makes for a great centerpiece if cut really short and simply dropped in a low bowl for some mass design as décor.
7
Moroccan Spice highlights the exotic colors of far away places. This bouquet ties in nicely with global elements in current home design trends. Deep black/purple ornamental grasses and greens are mixed with matching centered Sunflowers. Different indeed!
8
The Red Sunflower Bouquet combines bold symbols of fall with powerful line textures. Natural local Cattails, green Millet, Bear Grass and Safflower fill out the craft sleeve. The Red Sunflowers are supported by the matching tones in the Sunset Solidago and Safari.
9
An almost tribal combination of ancient colors all in one bouquet to celebrate autumn in all its glory. Deep red California Field Poms, Wild Safflower and Mahogany Sunflowers complete this collection of good old country living.
10
Sunsplash is one of the latest novelty cut sunflower varieties on the market in California and its’ golden honey color is the basis for this ensemble of California Wild Flowers, just picked from the fields. The French Marigolds further enhance this multibranched bouquet.
11
If flowers are meant to make a statement, this combination will do it all by itself. Large Red Sunflowers and golden Sunsplash Sunflowers with just some organic Broomcorn and yellow Strawflowers make this a pick-me-up winner.

Imagine riding through the California countryside and this is what you would find. Unexpected ornamental Peppers, Cattails, Safflower, and even Wheat and Broomcorn, are all assembled with Mahogany Sunflowers to make this bouquet fit for any country style home. Simply cut the stems and drop in your favorite vase.
13
Country casual doesn’t just apply to jeans anymore! Flowers now too come in the incredibly popular style of relaxed, natural and color correct design. This rich collection features deep orange red novelty Asiatic Lilies, Rust Mums, Strawflowers and just the right mix of other country flowers to make you want to take it home!
14
The elements in this outstanding combination of super long lasting floral materials are the ever-trendy Ornamental Peppers, red Ruscus, red Solidaster, and other spicy hot orange red flowers. Did I mention the orange red Sunflower? It is truly spicy hot, and good enough to serve with any Mexican dish…just don’t eat the peppers!
15
Intense is what most people call this bouquet. Only Dos Gringos offers this variety of Sunflower, which at the time of printing was not named yet. Let’s just say it has a deep reddish purple center which we carried as a theme with the rest of the materials like purple baby blue Eucalyptus, purple Ruscus and some yellow Straw Flowers to lighten it up a bit.
16
Following the latest trends in interior decorating, we have made this bouquet hot and reflective in contrast. Glossy novelty Asiatic Lilies and color enhanced California Sage along with orange Silver Dollar Eucalyptus, make this bouquet your easy autumn choice.
17
In the design world, color names are often named after food and this truly unique composition a great example. The ever trendy Protea is paired with sage colored seeded Eucalyptus, Silver Sage and for contrast we add deep purple baby blue Eucalyptus. The espresso wrap is optional, but it would mess up its name.
18
Protea, Berry Foliages, and unique botanicals tie into “green” style trends, yet remain seasonal for both fall and winter. Many of the materials in this bouquet dry in place and are often used separately once dry.Here is a bouquet with an after-life!
