They say Mother Earth laughs in flowers, and we can’t agree more! Flowers, ah SO feminine! Whether it’s a fairytale spring soirée or whimsical winter wedding, we can’t imagine a bride walking down the aisle sans a bouquet flourishing with fresh blooms and greens, can we?!

Flowers are one of the world’s most easy-on-the-eye expressions of beauty. They delight and inspire us! From a single sprig of a rose tucked in your boho braid to two carnations in your BAE’s boutonniere, to a string of freshly-picked daisies on your flower girl’s head, to a bout of ranunculus in the corsage around your mother in laws’ wrist, to heaps of tons of blooms adorning the wedding arch, to a cluster of white orchids, roses and hydrangeas flooding the centerpieces, to seasonal flowers in a bride and her girls’ hands, blooms are to elevate aesthetics. They are magic that can be caressed, smelled, worn, and hugged! 

Hey winter bride, it’s completely okay if you want to carry a bouquet of your favorite flowers (that are available in every season) down the aisle, but giving a nod to the season you are getting hitched in with a winter bridal bouquet is something that will take your big day look to the next level. Incorporating seasonal flowers not only saves you a fortune but also ensures your special day will be filled with fresh blooms that didn’t have to be imported from the other side of the world.

And bonus? Swoon-worthy wedding photographs of you and your celebration with the best of in-season flowers around! You sure want to have stock photo-inspired shots of your wedding rings or bands placed on your charming holiday-inspired bouquet to add that much-needed slice of the festive season to the wedding photo book! Like Miranda Kerr, an Australian model and businesswoman says, “A rose can never be a sunflower, and a sunflower can never be a rose. All flowers are beautiful in their own way, and that’s like women too.”, you can’t dislike any flower! If you are not sure which flowers are available in winter, and what types of arrangements mirror all that you love about this frosty season, then this blog is for you. Whether you are hiring a florist or want to go the DIY route, these breathtaking winter wedding bouquets are sure to bring a million-flower smile to your face now and on the big day: 

A fine and dandy arrangement of berries & greens
Tying traditional holiday colors in similar tones together can make an awe-inspiring winter wedding bouquet. Consider incorporating various tones of red like peach, burgundy, and pink with a hint of greenery in different hues to get gorgeous results. A splash of red and green in the form of red berries and wintry greenery amidst the sea of white blooms can take your bridal bouquet notches above! You could use winter berries, holly berries, cranberries, or silver brunias that are nothing but sage-green stems ending with fluffy, silver-gray balls. To make your bouquet create an illusion that tiny, cute snowballs are stuck in it, this is the flower for you! It’s often used to amp up bouquets with icy-blue or burgundy tones. If blue is there in the wedding color of your choice, opt for juniper berries instead. A hardy and resinous shrub with pungent green or silver boughs, sturdy wood and blue, green and silver berries, juniper berries make it to the list of our favorite winter botanicals. A little sprinkling of it can go a long way! For a cutesy peek-a-boo effect, pepper it on your bouquet featuring dense woodland of white roses or baby’s breath.

Monochromatic white wintry bouquet
There was a time when mono flower wedding bouquets were all the rage in the wedding world, but now with a slight revision of this trend has given us – monochrome wedding bouquets that are every bit gorgeous with a mix of various flowers but in a monochromatic color palette. You don’t need a New Year's Eve fascination or holiday reds for your festive wedding falling between December and March. Pick out something out-of-the-box for your bridal bouquet and embrace the cold and stillness of winter months. You may consider a bouquet composed of a wintry mix of white blooms in different textures for your all-white winter wedding. Think of some brilliant frosted florals like white roses, poinsettias, daisies, orchids, tulips, lilies, white carnations, and wild carrots (aka Queen Anne's lace)! Such wedding bouquets are a super bold statement that is sure to make you stand out on the wintry big day. White is not the only choice for a charming monochromatic bridal bouquet tho! A bold fuchsia wedding bouquet with amaranthus and some textural greenery plus black ribbons is equally gorgeous and perfectly adds pops of vibrant hues to the bridal portraits with bokeh!

Bouquet with a splash of jewel tones
No doubt white or pastel blooms are worth their weight in gold, but not everyone is a fan of white when it comes to flowers! Use what is available and in-season, from ranunculus to tulips, citrus fruits, eucalyptus, and dried floral accents, and tap your florist to incorporate jewel tones in the bouquet. Give a nod to the recent shift toward deep, jewel-tone bouquets that are ideal for your cold-weather wedding with floral arrangements bursting with deep shades and rustic stems. Think crimson amaranthus with berries, red roses, and ranunculus with eucalyptus leaves, or cherry-colored dahlias, and dark berries with dusty mauve leaves- these combinations take the cake when it comes to jewel-toned wedding bouquets for chilly weddings! Rustic burgundy proteas+amaranthus+thistle, blush+merlot dahlias+blue tweedia+amaranthus, magenta peonies+crimson roses, pink proteas+roses, red dahlias+ranunculus+orange kangaroo paw, oxblood ranunculus+cornflowers+white roses, and oxblood ranunculus+cornflowers+white roses are some of our favorite combinations for that show-stopping bridal look!

A glamorous wintry display in hand
An all-white color palette is a granddad of all the other wedding color palettes when it comes to exchanging vows in chilly weather, you don’t necessarily go for all details in stark white. You can catch the crystalline beauty of winter with dramatic silver and rich reds or the clubbing of two for your indoor winter fête! Blend the elegant silver with white arrangements - a big-time choice for flowers for winter brides. Think silver leaves, sequins and tendrils of silver ribbon, and delicate, graceful snowdrops, and voilà! Enjoy a glamorous wintry display, the reincarnation of your classic white assortment. Don’t hesitate to invite white-tipped pine cones, mistletoe and marabou feathers, blue-gray juniper boughs, sage green lamb's ear, and silvery dusty miller leaves to your big day for a remarkable frosty effect to reflect the snowy season. If it’s a Christmas wedding, then all the more reason for you to use Christmas wedding flowers in your festive wedding bouquet. You might want to strike poses for striking bridal portraits holding a pinecone wedding bouquet like this gorgeous country bride, combining wheat and pinecones at your countryside Christmas wedding. If you don’t want to be so obvious, you can select softer shades of red and green. And for your city wedding, you can’t go wrong with the addition of hypericum berries (used as a filler and not a focal piece), lacy sprigs of arborvitae, red berries, and holly to your dazzling seasonal bridal bouquet. After all, who doesn’t love holiday red flowers like velvety, perfectly opened amaryllis blossoms?!

A bridal bouquet is indeed an essential detail that completes the bride’s wedding day look, just the way a ribbon on the gift box does. Oftentimes it helps groomsmen and bridesmaids to coordinate their look with one another if you don’t want a too-much matchy-matchy look.
