Brighten your guests’ spirits by adding color and texture to your white flowers.

This year has been a challenging year, implementing social distancing into our life events. We want to inspire you and help you rethink your creative ideas and have fun! Here are some fun, stylish inspirational ideas, and tricks when DIY’ing your winter wedding flowers.

Spice Up Winter Wedding Flowers

1. Texture: Add fillers and greens with a unique texture to break up white winter wedding flowers.
2. Color: Be bold; add layers of color or shades of winter colors mixed with white winter flowers. Looking to add metallic? Here is a tip, lightly spray paint gold or silver on your floral fillers or greenery for a bling pop.
3. Surrounding Elements: Use linens, vases, and ribbons to add texture and visual interest to bouquets, centerpieces, and boutonnieres.

Incorporate lots of texture and depth when designing your flower arrangements. Mix blooms using various textures such as hydrangeas and white spider mums paired with small flowers and flower fillers. Of course, add greenery with winter accents, as seen in the photo below. Pine cones are a perfect choice with a pop of blue delphinium flowers. Creating depth with texture keeps the arrangement warm and inviting.

Garden roses, standard roses, hypericum berries, and dusty miller combined, create a beautiful, dimensional wedding bouquet with lots of exciting textures.  The surrounding elements and shades of cream, peach, red, dusty green, and the white ribbon creates depth. The surrounding details are a perfect mixture; the winter white fur coat and dark grey suit complement the winter wedding ambiance.

You can throw any rules right out the window and come up with a completely original idea that speaks to your personality as a couple. We love this dessert cake that includes color, textures, and visual features in the design. The colorful cake colors complement the roses tucked into the design with a pop of blue thistle and greenery flowing around the cake sprinkled with confectionery sugar. Perfection to the eye, don’t you agree?

Budget-Friendly-But-Fabulous Ideas

We know all of you newly-engaged ladies are in engagement bliss, getting ready to start planning and make those Pinterest boards come to life! Well, there is not much you can prepare without setting a wedding date. So, we have compiled our favorite reasons to have a winter wedding for you to help you plan and protect your budget!

Off-Season Weddings

Having your wedding during the off-season is the budget-friendly because you can save thousands by choosing to have your wedding during the off-season (December – March). The winter months are usually a low season for venues, which is good news for your budget. The cost per head will be lower than what they would be in June or September. Give yourself a chance to splurge in areas that wouldn’t be possible during those peak season (May-September) or keep yourself way under budget.

Winter Greenery

Winter greens are the perfect solution for winter wedding decor! Greenery is readily available at this time of year and inexpensive! Garlands, wreaths, centerpieces- you can do it all! The deep green color can be used as a stand-alone or matched with your choice’s accent color.

Lights & Snow

String lights may be one of the most romantic decor aspects ever. They are used year-round for weddings, but there isn’t a time where they are more appropriate than in the winter! There is nothing like the ambiance of holiday lights!
