From the romance of glittering snow and the comforting warmth of the hearth, winter weddings are stunningly beautiful. If you’re planning your cold-weather celebration, you may be concerned about how to decorate to suit the season – but winter wedding flower selection doesn’t have to be a challenge. Many varieties are available in winter, so you’ll have plenty of options to choose from. Here’s a comprehensive guide to choosing flowers perfect for your big day. 

How to Choose Winter Wedding Flowers

Pick Your Color Scheme

Winter weddings provide the perfect opportunity to incorporate the natural hues of the season. Soft white, shiny silver, and icy blue make for a lovely, delicate palette. Try a bouquet of green eucalyptus and dainty ivory-colored roses bound with a gold ribbon for a touch of elegance. Richer tones like crimson or plum add depth and warmth. Intersperse a few bright buds in your bridal bouquet and centerpieces, or opt for deeper tones to create a bold focal point. 

Opt for Blooms That Suit the Season

The best way to stay within budget when selecting wedding flowers is to work with those that are seasonally appropriate. If you’re looking for long stems and large blooms, distinctive amaryllis or orchids are perfect. Add a delicate look with a Star of Bethlehem, cyclamen, sweet pea, or a paperwhite narcissus. Hellebores have a vibrant appearance. Round out your entire arrangement with the layered petals of roses and ranunculus. Many plants are also available year-round, such as carnations and baby’s breath. 

Incorporate Eye-Catching Accents

Make your bridal bouquet unique with an assortment of attractive features. Match a piece of cotton or silk to the primary color of the bouquet and wrap it around the stems with a soft bow. Add ferns to create a natural cascading effect. If you’re planning a wedding for the 2019 holiday season, scatter a few pieces of holly and mistletoe throughout the blooms for a subtly festive feel. Placing a few succulents within the bouquet will add playful texture and variety.
