| When planning a winter wedding, like
weddings in any other season, personal
preference plays a huge part. The main
thing is to focus on the mood that is to
be created. Even though fewer weddings
are held in winter, that does not mean
that the bride is faced with a limited
choice. Traditional wedding flowers,
including roses, lilies, orchids and
daisies, are available throughout the
year. Some brides follow the longstanding
tradition of an all-white bouquet,
symbolizing purity. Others pick their
favorite or base their choices on
availability, color scheme or what the
flower represents-roses represent love
and happiness, daisies innocence,
gardenias joy. A winter wedding flower
can be any type of flower that highlights
the warm tones of the festivals set
against the snow-white backdrop.
Christmas and Valentine’s Day are
the major holidays during this time.
Traditionally, Christmas brides often
choose red or burgundy flowers like
roses, carnations, calla lilies with
accents of white, green and silver-colors
traditionally associated with the season.
A winter bride can choose from an
array of colors like white, blue, red and
green, which are the most popular colors
of the season. White is often a popular
choice with winter brides. White flowers
can range from pure white to ivory to
pinkish white, and it is very important
to pick the right variety to go with the
gown. Choices include roses, tulips,
freesias, mums and hellebores.
Shades of blue flowers range from
aquamarine to deepest indigo. Iris comes
in vivid shades of blue and adds a lot of
accent with a few blooms. Blue geraniums
are delicate and come laced with white.
Wisteria is towards the purple side but
its trailing vines add elegance. Blue
star sea Holly is a true blue flower with
exotic petals and a spiky texture.
Red is the most popular and natural
choice of winter wedding flowers. Tulips,
Maltese cross and geraniums are of the
deep red color. Day Lilies, Mums and
Geraniums come in shades of pink,
orange-red and maroon. Other red choices
include bee bums, Royal Hellebores and
roses, of course.
Green can really bring balance in all
flower arrangements. Holly, with or
without berries, is the classic choice
for a winter wedding. Pine boughs and
sprigs can be used as tabletop
arrangements. Ferns add a regal look to
decorations. Juniper branches can add
fragrance and a feel of winter to any
wedding.
Whatever the choice, the stress is on
how a bride wants the mood to be. The
wide range of choices will ensure that
every bride finds the perfect shade and
shape to complement her plans.
