Wedding Bouquets for Winter

Many people seem to think that summer or spring is the best time to get married. Granted, the weather is on your side in those seasons, but when it comes to wedding bouquets for winter, the winter season does offer some unique and very dramatic options.

In this article, we will discuss a few of your options for design of bridal bouquets using winter wedding flowers. We will look at blooms you could choose, and give you a few other tips that will make your winter wedding bouquets -- and the whole theme of your wedding -- the winter wonderland it should be.

Christmas Wedding Themes

One of the best ideas for a winter wedding, particularly one in December, is to use Christmas, and the colors and themes associated with it, for your winter winter wedding bouquets and your wedding decorations.

Red and green, accented with silver and gold, are an easy way to create festive themed floral arrangements that will look amazing.

Red roses or tulips, mixed with holly, pine greenery, and a few silver or gold accents may be simple, but they will look great, and will really suit the Christmas theme! Ornamental berries, and even tiny pine cones, can add to the appeal of Christmas-themed winter wedding flowers and your wedding bouquets.

There are a variety of other red, white and green flowers and elements you can include in your winter wedding bouquet and in your winter floral decor. Red poinsettias are a great choice, but if you speak to your florist, you should be able to find plenty of other options that are in season. And what is more, using in-season flowers will work out much cheaper.

Silver and White Theme for Winter

Another classic option for a winter wedding is to opt for the silver and white theme. This is an easy theme to work with, and one that you can really have fun with.

Wedding bouquets and floral displays for a winter-white wedding could be anything from ordinary white roses and tulips, to much more dramatic white poinsettias, lilies, or crocuses. In fact, any seasonal white flowers that your florist recommends (or a combination of a few) can work with this silver and white winter theme.

When it comes to silver elements for your winter wedding bouquets and flowers, you can definitely go to town as much as you can with the blooms themselves.

There are plenty of grey green types of foliage out there that you can choose to incorporate into your flowers, like  baby blue eucalyptus and silver dollar eucalyptus, among others, so find out from your florist what options he or she recommends.

Little Extras

Both of the winter wedding flower ideas we have discussed in this article lend themselves to a variety of other elements, which will enhance the theme, and add a little fun and drama. For instance, why not incorporate faux snowflakes, or even twigs that have been sprayed silver into your winter wonderland flower ideas?

Clear crystals are another great addition to winter wedding flower arrangements, and combined with all white flowers, green foliage and silvery ribbons, will look amazing.

When it comes to the Christmas theme, what you add to your floral arrangements is up to you.  From gold and silver ornaments to ribbons and bows, the season offers all kinds of possibilities. Then again, given the innate romance of the occasion, is mistletoe not also worth considering?

How traditional you make the elements you add to your Christmas themed wedding flowers, or how fun, is up to you, and your theme. Candles, crystals, warm golds and glittering silver are all great ideas though.

As you can see, the weather may not lend itself to an outdoor extravaganza, but, where winter wedding flowers are concerned, and classic themes, you definitely have some great choices for winter wedding flowers and bridal bouquets.

Then again, if you want to do something else with your flowers, there is nothing stopping you, so have some fun coming up with great ideas for winter wedding flowers and wedding bouquets for winter time!
