Most Breathtaking Flowers to Inspire Your Winter Wedding

Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials! If you are planning a winter wedding, and need some advice about the best flowers for the occasion, read on. Organising a wedding is a mammoth task, and the flower decoration is one of the most important aspects of the Big Day. Winter weddings can be simply stunning, with many different styles and colours out there to suit the winter theme. Will it be a Christmas wedding? Do you want to embrace all things snow-themes? Perhaps you can’t wait to fill your venue with glitter, sparkle and shimmering décor. Whatever way you want to approach your wedding, we have the perfect flower arrangements that will complete your special day.

A Limited Choice?

Although flowers are not known for blooming in winter, there are still many beautiful flowers that bloom during the colder season. Modern methods of flowering and transportation also mean that there are many more options than you may first think. However, if you want to keep your carbon footprint to the minimum by sticking with flowers that bloom during the later season of the year, you still have plenty of choices when it comes to stunning winter wedding flowers.

Budget Blooms

Saver-savvy couples should consider flowers that bloom all year round as these will be cheaper than flowers that only bloom during the winter months. Roses, quite possibly the most romantic of all flowers, are available whatever the season. As well as being beautiful flowers, roses are a popular choice for weddings and are available in a variety of colours.  Red and white roses with darker reds add a festive touch to a wedding at Christmas time. Pastels aren’t only for spring and summer weddings, and soft shades of pink work well with gold or silver embellishments. If you don’t want to splash out on bouquets created from roses, fortunately, gypsophila is also available all year round and so can be used to fill out bouquets

Winter Blooming Camellia

These pretty delicate flowers are very hardy and would survive in the cold temperatures of a British winter. Available in pinks, purple and white, the December flowering Camellia varieties are perfect for those that want a summery feel to their day. The Camellia japonica “Desire” and “Nuccio’s Gem” are stunning with large heads of petals that will look amazing in a January bridal bouquet. The white Nuccio Gem Camellia is ideal for a winter wedding and can be paired perfectly with whatever colour scheme you have chosen.

Embrace the Wonder of Winter

One of the most fun things about autumn and winter weddings is that other elements of nature, besides flowers, can be used to adorn table settings and bouquets. Pine cones, berries, twigs and leaves all look fantastic when featured in a winter bouquet. These embellishments are also cost-effective and can be used to bulk up bouquets. Rustic bouquets work well with outdoor wedding ceremonies, so go all out and walk down the aisle with a bouquet of white roses, framed with burnished red leaves.

Buttonholes

Usually, the buttonholes are relegated to second place behind the bridal bouquet, but winter touches can bring them back up to joint first. A single white rose with red berries is an effective look as is a sprig of purple heather teamed with bound cinnamon sticks and green leaves. How about bringing holly into the mix? Make holly leaves the backdrop to a single red rose for a dramatic yuletide look. Winter weddings can often bring out a couple's creativity, so feel free to play around with seasonal elements to create the perfect look.
