So you’ve chosen a Winter wedding date, with so many advantages; a festive atmosphere, crisp weather and rustic colouring. But now you are stuck, what flowers are available in winter? What colours and styles work best? Well we are here to give you our top Winter floral tips for your special day.
Winter Berries
Why not try adding some winter berries in particular holly berries and cranberries to your bouquet and centrepieces on the tables in the Orangery this winter, they add a splash of colour, a hint of fruity fragrance and really compliment any Christmas styling, making any wedding festive. Other common berries to use could be snow berries or even viburnum berries, all of which tend to be available throughout the year.
Why not continue the berry theme in the colours used at your wedding - the bridesmaids dresses, groomsmen’s suits or even in the napkins and table linen!?
Amaryllis
This is a flower famous for being in season during the winter months. There is a range of colours, from rich burgundies to vibrant oranges, there is something for everyone. Not only that but it comes in a variety of sizes, so you can choose to have it as your central focus or to compliment other flower choices.
Branches
If you really want to go for that Christmassy vibe for your winter wedding then adding yew branches or lichen covered twigs to your bouquet will really make it truly wintery. Your first thoughts might be no way, branches in my beautiful bouquet, but it really adds a contrast to the flowers and makes any bouquet that bit more special…. So don’t rule it out just yet.
Hellebores
They come in a range of tones and can stand on their own or work well with other blooms. They are a delicate and romantic flower, perfect for a wintery flower crown, in your bouquet with lots of foliage or in small bud vases to accentuate your tables in the Orangery or even dotted around for your drinks reception in the Leggett room. Top tip though they tend to droop, so make sure any table arrangements have plenty of water. However you use them, if you're looking for flowers to add colour (deep purples, maybes, pinks, greens, yellows and whites) to your winter wedding then look no further.
Anemones
Delicate but bold, their stark contrast between their centre and the outer petals, makes them visually unique. For something special try the white anemone with the black centre for a modern look, but if that’s not for you what is great about the anemone is their differing colours such as blues or purples which could be perfect for your wintery vibes.
So there you have it, our top winter florals for your wedding. But if you're still unsure why not visit a florist for more tips or to help you narrow down your search.
Happy Hunting.
