Winter Weddings: Wedding Flower Arrangement
Getting married in the wonderful winter months and don’t have an idea on what flowers are in bloom?
Let the The Flower Expert advise you:
Winter weddings tend to have an extra air of romance and elegance about them, may be partly due to the fact that the weather is cold outside and surrounded by flowers during the ceremony serve as a reminder spring is fast approaching. Flowers that are available during winter months include Tulips, Amaryllis, Hyacinth, narcissus, Hellebore, Protea, Kangaroo Paw, and foliages such as Hollyberry.
The Hitching Post got some great ideas too:
Accents to Use
Dress up your bouquets and centerpieces with winter accents such as:
Pine Cones, Eucalyptus, Holly Leaves, Berries, Evergreen Branches, Pine Cones, Ivy Leaves, Christmas Ornament BallsChoosing Colours
Be careful when choosing white, red or green flowers and leaves/accessories. Take a small swatch of fabric of your bride’s and bridesmaid’s dresses to the florist. These 3 colours come in varying shades and you’ll want to get your flowers and leaves to match or at least compliment your attire. Whites come in shades varying from brilliant pure white to ivory. And as we all know, reds can be hard to match up.
Centerpiece and Bouquet Ideas
Dress up your tables with beautiful centerpieces. These arrangements can also be used to create bridal bouquets as well.# Roses, pionese, pinecones and ornaments set into a bed of evergreen leaves.
# Red poinsettias mixed with white tulips or roses.
# Red roses mixed with white lilies.
# Cala lilies with clusters of purple/blue berries.
# Gardenias, holly berries and ivy.
# Hydrangeas and pomegranate with trailing ribbons.
# Gardenias, red berries, white rose buds with green ivy.
# White roses, white hydrangeas, white sweet peas, white ribbon and tulle.
# Purple hydrangeas, pink or white roses and purple/pink lilacs.
# Red rose buds, pinecones with pine leaves and red ribbon.

Generally speaking, it’s always best to check with your florist about availability. Different regions carry different stock. If you are in Kansas City, check out Blue Bouquet
