The Perfect Flowers for Your Winter Wedding

Winter weddings are perfect for creating a romantic and magical winter wonderland. Invite your friends and family to celebrate a cozy and elegant setting decorated with spectacular winter decor and accented with that extraordinary hint of romance from the holiday season. If you’re ready to embrace the challenge of planning an amazing winter wedding and creating your flower arrangements, keep the season in mind when making all your big decisions, from choosing bouquets and flower centerpieces to deciding what kind of food and drink you’ll serve.

When it comes to these decisions, there is no right or wrong answer, but use this as inspiration for your winter wedding.

Berry Hues and Blooms

Are you dreaming of a berry hue wedding bouquet? You can make this gorgeous look by pairing cream Vendula roses and white ranunculus. Also, add lush red garden roses, and mixing in pink astilbe, seeded eucalyptus, and baby blue eucalyptus. For an extra winter touch, replace the baby blue eucalyptus and add a few stems of pine or cedar tips. Wrap the bouquet stems with a shimmering white ribbon to reflect the crystals of winter snow.

Winter Wonderland Flowers

Does the shimmering glow of snow inspire you? Create your flower arrangements with white flowers and touches of silver or gold. Create a free-flowing cascade white bouquet with white or cream garden roses, Italian ruscus, nageia greenery, thistle, veronica, and snapdragons.

Dress your bridesmaids in shimmering dresses and make smaller bouquets coordinating with the bride’s bouquet. You can add white wax flowers to the bridesmaids’ bouquets for a slightly different texture with a wintery feel.

Lots of Greenery!

Eucalyptus is one of the most popular greenery options for table garlands. Your winter wedding centerpiece will feel cozy and warm with its robust scent. Place seeded or silver dollar garlands across your guest tables and adorn them with your favorite flowers. Create a cozier winter setting with holiday greens, pinecones, frosted glitter, and metallic candles.

Deep Burgundy… not Christmasy

Colors that are deep and dark exemplify the perfect winter palette. Combined with soft ivory and blush blooms, burgundy flowers are seasonal and not too Christmasy. The color of deep Burgundy is suggested with dahlias or roses, blush hues with garden roses, and a mixture of eucalyptus greening, adding whimsical hanging red Amaranthus.

Accessorize Your Venue

Think outside the box and transform your venue into a cozy space for your wedding day. A great way to welcome your guests and warm their hearts before the ceremony begins is by creating a hot cocoa and hot toddy outdoor bar.
