White Winter Blooms and Beyond: Our Floral Picks for Your Big Day

Ah, a winter wedding – the perfect blend of candlelight, crisp air, and the laughter of friends and family. If you're choosing to get married in the winter, chances are you love the look of elegant winter colors and the silvery sunshine that makes the season feel so precious and evocative. A winter wedding is a perfect opportunity to embrace warming seasonal details that are ideal for this time of year – for example:

  • A cozy dress code. If you've watched a runway show, you've probably noticed that the more drapery and layers a person wears, the more elegant they look. Winter weddings provide a great excuse to dress to the nines in elegant, long-sleeved dresses, shawls, and cloaks for women and stylish jackets and overcoats for men. A bonus for men who are stuck dressing in a suit no matter the season: winter weddings are the one time they will not overheat! 
  • Lots of candlelight. Whether or not your wedding festivities will go late into the night, an early sunset means you can start illuminating the candles well ahead of dinnertime, which makes for a twinkly, gorgeous cocktail hour or ceremony. Candles add glittering texture and warmth to centerpieces, accent areas, and altars. Plus, they can be used to help people find their way along dark paths in wall sconces or as luminaria that are set on the ground.
  • Warm beverages and bites. While champagne will always feel like a wedding staple, the cool weather makes it appropriate to include hot chocolate, mulled wine, or hot cider at the bar. Few things are cozier than joining a circle of loved ones over a hot drink. Or, to take things to the next level, set up an outdoor fire pit and s'more station, complete with marshmallows and roasting sticks.
  • Mix, match, and go big. Winter backdrops are like a blank canvas. While your venue may lack leafy trees and green lawns, you can go to town with quirky details, playful textures, and exotic flowers.

Because winter weddings lend themselves to extensive decorations, the flowers you choose can be simple, dramatic, or anywhere in between. Consider a pale, inviting arrangement like the Rose Bridal Bouquet, where creamy petals sit layered among blushing pink roses. February is the ideal time to bring dried flowers, berries, evergreens, and cascading leaves to balance delicate white flowers. Lean into this picture-perfect display of winter abundance with our Clusters of Roses bouquet. Or, if all white is more your speed, look no further: our cascading Heavens Bouquet is the pinnacle of winter elegance and is a timeless piece that will add dimension and volume to your wedding photos. Orchids are sturdy, shapely, and expressive, making them an excellent option for winter weddings. They make a beautiful, sprawling display for centerpieces or on an altar and are a delightful choice for a bouquet. Fancy Phalaenopsis, for example, is an all-white, all-orchid bridal bouquet that will visually evoke the bride herself, with its draping form and lively petals. 

Spare no detail in your winter wedding by bringing flowers into your wedding outfit. Brides can choose from several stunning floral hairpieces, from side clips to crowns.
