I know frost and freezing are inevitable, but they seem far away. We're having a very mild autumn in much of the Upper Midwest. Here in the Madison area, our average high temperature this time of year is in the mid-60s F (18 C), but our 10-day forecast includes some highs in the 70s and 80s F (20-27 C). There's no frost in the forecast yet.
Anyway, the flowers keep blooming, so more bouquets! The arrangement I'm sharing here is very simple but fun.
The Hydrangea foliage (H. macrophylla) continues to deliver. It's a great frame for, and long-lasting element in, any arrangement.
Sedum flowers (Hylotelephium telephium 'Autumn Joy') seem appropriate for this time of year.
The Cosmos blooms (C. bipinnatus 'Sensation Mix'), with regular harvesting, will continue until frost.
And Dusty Miller (Jacobaea maritima) seems a good companion for the Sedums.

These elements have long vase lives and gracefully decorate their corner.
