Winter is often seen as a season where nature takes a well-deserved rest. The vibrant blooms of other seasons retreat, leaving behind lush green foliage and a more understated beauty. But don’t let this quiet transformation deter you—winter is also a time of magic, celebration, and cosy charm! With frosted mornings, snowy landscapes, and an air of enchantment, it’s the perfect backdrop for saying “I do.”
In today’s blog post, we’re sharing our top tips for designing florals that will elevate your winter wedding. From beautiful arrangements to seasonal touches, we’ll help you create breathtaking floral designs that will stand out and shine, no matter the month.
TIP ONE: Embrace the Season’s Colours
Our first and most important tip is to let the beauty of winters colours guide your floral arrangements. Don’t be afraid to mix and match a variety of shades, tones, and hues—this will add depth and richness to your designs.
Winter weddings evoke a sense of elegance with rich, seasonal colours that reflect the beauty of the colder months. These colours can range from cool, icy tones to warm, cosy shades. Popular choices for winter weddings include greens, whites, ivories, deep purples, plums, reds, and soft blues. We’ve put together a few colour combinations to inspire you, demonstrating how these shades can seamlessly come together to create a captivating winter atmosphere.
TIP TWO: Opt for Seasonal Flowers
This step goes hand in hand with embracing winter’s colour palette, making it essential to consider which flowers are in season for your wedding. Opting for seasonal blooms not only guarantees fresher, higher-quality flowers but also makes sourcing them easier for your florist. You don’t need to know every detail about the flowers in your bouquet—that’s where your florist’s expertise shines. We’re here to guide you, ensuring every arrangement reflects your vision perfectly. Trusting your florist to work with in-season flowers often results in breathtaking, natural designs.
Some of our favorite winter flowers include hellebores, paperwhites, anemones, snowdrops, skimmia, tulips, and amaryllis. Many of these blooms are available in a variety of shades, making it easy to tie them into the colour palettes mentioned in Tip One. You don’t have to use them all—even a single winter flower can serve as a striking focal point in your bouquet, creating a truly unique and personal arrangement.
TIP THREE: Create Warmth with Your Winter Florals
Winter florals have the power to bring a sense of warmth and intimacy to your wedding, transforming even the coldest days into a cosy and inviting celebration. To achieve this, focus on incorporating rich textures, winter greenery, and seasonal blooms into your arrangements.
Consider how you display your florals. Draping garlands along tables, adorning fireplaces with greenery, or using arrangements to frame doorways can make your venue feel warm and inviting. Don’t underestimate the magic of candlelight either—paired with winter florals, it enhances the overall glow and creates a sense of romance and cosiness. Your winter florals should not only complement the season but also reflect your unique style, bringing a touch of warmth and charm to your special day!
