From the delicate elegance of snow-white blooms to the rich, deep hues that mirror the season’s warmth, we’re about to embark on a journey through the world of florals that will give you the inspiration you need for your winter wonderland celebration.
Classic winter blooms
Amaryllis
Amaryllis steals the show in winter weddings with its striking, trumpet-shaped blooms. These blooms provide a splash of colour to your winter paradise, frequently in tones of red and white.
With their tall, sturdy stems and large blooms, Amaryllis are statement flowers that transform any arrangement into something magical.
Whether you choose them for your bridal bouquet, centrepieces, or even as chic boutonnieres, Amaryllis adds a touch of drama to your winter wonderland. These beauties are not just flowers — they’re the stars of your floral show!
Anemone
Anemones are sweet and colourful, available from October to May in bright white, vivid red, pink, purple, magenta and blue. Although some white variants contain either green or yellow cores, most have the striking contrast of black. When clustered together, they make for dramatic pops of colour, exactly what’s needed to add some freshness to a winter wedding.
Romantic floral choices
Camellias
Camellias, also called “the star of the winter garden,” are among the most exquisite evergreen flowers you might include in your bridal bouquet. The camellia is the gem of your bouquet and an excellent choice for your winter wedding because of its layered petals that come in a wide array of colours, from red and yellow, to white, pink, and purple.
Hellebores
These exquisite blooms, also known as Christmas or Lenten roses, have a unique style that’s all about understated elegance. Coming in various colours, from creamy whites and rose all the way to near-black, hellebores are perfect for a whimsical winter wonderland vibe. Drape them gracefully in your table centrepieces to create a magical ambience.
Exotic and elegant options
Orchids
Orchids are the rock stars of winter weddings, dazzling with fancy shapes and colours. Picture cascading orchids in bouquets with verdant greenery, or elegant orchid centrepieces stealing the show.
Poinsettias
Poinsettias are the floral embodiment of Christmas. With their classic red blooms and green leaves, they add a festive touch to any winter occasion. You can go all red poinsettias for a really dramatic look, or opt for white poinsettias for a sleek and modern wedding with a wintry vibe. They look fabulous when potted as table centrepieces and positioned on altars in church weddings and on staircases.
Delicate and whimsical choices
Ranunculus
With layers of delicate petals, ranunculus exudes whimsy. Easily distinguished by their gracefully swirled petal arrangement, ranunculus has become a beloved choice for wedding blooms. They typically grace the winter wedding scene from late fall through early spring, and come in various shades from soft pastels to deep jewel tones, allowing you to pair them with other seasonal blooms like winter greens and hypericum berries to create stunning arrangements.
Star of Bethlehem
These tiny, star-shaped blossoms bring celestial vibes to your winter bash. Consider using them in boutonnieres or as table scatter for an ethereal touch. But make no mistake, they also look incredible in a full bouquet for the bride. They’ll make your wedding feel like a magical starry night.
Timeless elegance
Calla Lilies
When it comes to elegant blooms, Calla Lilies takes the crown. With their graceful, trumpet-like shape, they bring a touch of sophistication to any winter wedding, particularly as long, dramatic bridal bouquets.
