Our Favorite Wedding Flowers for a Winter Bridal Bouquet
Winter weddings are oh-so-dreamy, with a looming sense of magic in the air! It is a beautiful time of year to host a wedding, especially in the cozy countryside of Florida. To help you host a memorable winter celebration, we’re sharing our favorite wedding flowers for a winter bridal bouquet, from classic blooms such as roses to unique inclusions like chrysanthemums! Get inspired by these bridal bouquet ideas, or reach out and let us create a design that is uniquely you.
White Roses & Baby’s Breath
A classic pairing for a timeless winter wedding is white roses and baby’s breath. Roses remain a beautiful choice year-round, while the color white is a simple option for a seasonally-inspired bridal bouquet. Paired with fluffy tufts of baby’s breath, you can achieve an arrangement that is romantic but elegant. For more color or texture, you can add in touches of greenery or pampas for a trendy boho chic winter bouquet.
White Amaryllis
Easily one of the most popular winter wedding flowers is amaryllis! This flower features extra-large, peony-shaped blooms and snowy white petals. It is easy to recognize around the holidays, yet has a soft ultra-romantic shape that is perfect for a bridal bouquet. It is a gorgeous option to pair with lots of dark, textured greenery. It could also be used on its own for a super sophisticated look. Should you prefer a more festive color, it also comes in a brilliant red!
White Orchids & Pink Roses
While white is a popular color for winter weddings, don’t be afraid of color. You can infuse bold or subtle colors into your bouquet and still pull off a beautiful seasonal look. Take for example a bridal bouquet of orchids and roses! White orchids will lend a crisp and sophisticated look, while roses offer a smattering of color. Pink roses are a lovely choice for a chic romantic look. Meanwhile, luxe red roses are equally sophisticated yet a little sexy!
Blue Thistle & Eucalyptus
Our favorite way to level up any bridal bouquet is with textured fillers and greenery! Blue thistle is a favorite for the wintertime, with a soft blue color and spiky snowflake-shaped bloom. Silver dollar eucalyptus balance the blue thistle with its large round leaves. They look stunning with a variety of blooms and add a new level of dimension to a bouquet.
Carnations or Chrysanthemums
Although they are different blooms, carnations and chrysanthemums offer the same impact on a bridal bouquet. They each feature tightly packed but soft petals for a romantic, textured look. They also come in a range of colors, yet deep shades or burgundy and red are the most popular. There are also bi-colored carnations, which can lend a lot of dimension to a bouquet without overfilling it.
White Calla Lilies
You can’t go wrong with a bridal bouquet of calla lilies! Calla lilies have a yellow spadix (flowering spike) surrounded by a bright spathe (leaf-like curved bract). Sleek and sophisticated, it is a classy choice for a modern bride. Many people choose to feature this flower alone, tightly packed into a large but simple bouquet. Others prefer to feature it with softer blooms such as roses or hydrangeas.
