Winter Wedding Flowers

Winter can be a magical time to have a wedding. Winter weddings can feature a holiday theme, or celebrate the icy beauty of the season. A winter bride can have the luxury of wearing fur. Glittering diamonds are also fantastic accessories for a winter bride. Traditional colors for a winter wedding are usually either shades of red and green, or midnight blue with silver or white.

You might think that you can’t have great flowers for your winter wedding, but you’re wrong! Even brides that tie the knot in the frostiest months can have breathtaking flowers for their special day! Here are some tips for choosing the best flowers, categorized by month:

December — One great flower for a December wedding is the Narcissus. You can also try holiday favorites like poinsettia and holly, accented with natural items like pine boughs, pine cones, holly berries, and ivy vines. Baby’s breath is a popular year-round flower that can add interest to any bouquet.

January — Carnations are a great choice for any January wedding. They’re beautiful, fragrant, and come in a variety of shades. Other good choices for January wedding flowers include roses, lilies, daisies, freesia, snowball mums, and magnolia blossoms.

February — For a great February wedding flower, how about the violet? These petite purple flowers are perfect for a February wedding. You can also try gardenia and amaryllis. Calla lilies are always classic choices for any month, as are roses and baby’s breath.

Costs of Winter Wedding Flowers: Regardless of which kind of flowers you choose for your wedding, you should understand that they can be costly. How much you can expect to pay will depend on how many flowers you order and the kind of flowers you order. It’s not uncommon for the cost of wedding flowers to exceed $1,000. However if you’re on a budget and don’t plan on getting a lot of flowers, expect to spend around $50 to $200 on a professionally designed bridal bouquet.

Using Silk Flowers to Minimize Costs: One way to save money and guarantee you’ll get the flowers you want for your wedding is by using silk flowers. Silk flowers these days look just like the real thing, and can cost much less!

With a little creativity and planning, you can find flowers that go perfectly with the type of winter wedding that you want to have!
