Winter Wedding
Flowers
In Australia: June, July
and August
Winter actually brings us many of the
flowers we associate with spring, bunches and bunches of
fragrant ‘Earlicheer’ Daffodils, gorgeous ‘paper white’
Jonquils, Hyacinths and Freesias!!
Double and single Tulips, parrot Tulips.
Helleborus flowers, alanso known as the ‘winter rose’ it
looks like a white or burgundy primrose and in its green form
creates the ‘country bunch’ look.
Cymbidium orchids, how lucky are we
that we have special orchids that flower all winter long and
yet are so beautiful and last incredibly well, colour range is
white, palest to dark pink, red, lime to yellow green, yellow,
gold, burgundy and all the in between colours, in their mini or
large forms are just sensational!.
Violets! As the name suggests these sweet violets are rich
purple blue in colour and have a perfume unlike any other
flower !!,so sweet and tantalizing they bottle it!! Usually
with short they are traditionally carried in tight posies
surrounded by their own leaves, this is a beautiful choice for
flower girls and junior bridesmaids.
French Lavender, also traditionally carried in tight posies
or mixed with other small flowers to create a country style
bunch.
Stock, massed together for the church and reception bowls to
tantalize the senses and set the theme, in white, cream, pink
mauve and purple.
Geraldton Wax, the new hybrids of these west Australian
flowers are so lush and delicate on their own or in mixed
bouquets.
Kale, these are not really flowers, they are really
ornamental cabbages but if you like a modern style try with
mini cumquats and tiny apples.
