While you might not have considered it when setting a date, the time of year in which your wedding is held can significantly affect the type of flowers in your bouquet. While, in actuality, you could have almost any flower imported to your event from across the world, the flowers that are in season in your general region will be far more affordable. Plus, they’ll stand up better in the weather they’re accustomed to. If you’re planning a winter wedding and aren’t sure what flowers will survive the cold, use the following list to plan ahead.

3 Bouquet Flowers Ideal for Frosty Weddings

1. Roses

These romantic blooms are certainly one of the most popular flowers, so it’s convenient that they will hold up in the wintertime. Choose dark red roses for a dramatic, Christmastime ceremony, or a warm yellow-orange to mimic a flickering fireplace. For a more wintery feel, pair these soft, elegant flowers with the dainty white blossoms of baby’s breath or the dark green leaves of ivy. 

2. Hydrangea

If you’re looking to stay away from the red and green decorations of the holidays, hydrangeas make an excellent choice. The most popular colors are white and blue, which add a touch of wintry wonder to your bouquet without being over-the-top. You can pair these bushy blossoms with dark evergreen sprigs for contrast, which will also add a beautiful pine scent to the atmosphere.

3. Stephanotis

These white, five-petaled blooms are perfect for brides looking for a bouquet with a strong, sweet floral scent. Also known as Madagascar Jasmine or the Hawaiian Wedding Flower, Stephanotis grows in clusters on a dark green vine, so it can be wrapped around other flowers to create a whimsical arrangement. While its aliases might sound tropical, this plant is evergreen, so you don’t have to worry about it dying at your cold-weather affair.
