Seasonal Inspiration: Winter Wedding Flowers

Seasonal Inspiration: Winter Wedding Flowers

When most people think of winter, they don’t think of flowers. They think of the cold, snow, barren trees devoid of leaves… and while the ground here in DC might be frozen and the plants shriveled, winter is actually a great time of year for wedding flowers! Not only is there a host of seasonal inspiration, but we have access to the spring and summer blooms in the southern hemisphere to populate our otherwise winter look. This is the second installment in our series of “seasonal inspiration”. (If you missed our first piece, check it out here.) We have two simple goals: We hope to share plenty of winter wedding inspiration and also equip you with information about the beautiful blooms and accents perfect for your winter wedding!

Winter Wedding Flowers Inspiration

While we start to shiver in December here in Washington, DC, things are in bloom in Central and South America, New Zealand, Australia, Israel, the greenhouses of The Netherlands, and other places in the world. You still may want to choose flowers that complement the season, but the floral inspiration for a winter wedding is broader than you may think. Whether you dream of winter white and snowy textures, icy blues, berry tones, festive holiday reds, metallics, evergreens, or something else entirely, the key is to find the perfect inspiration. We’ve included images from some of our favorite DC weddings below.

Winter Wedding Flower Options

Once you’ve narrowed down your winter wedding palette and style, it’s time to make  choices to bring the flower options that complement your vision. Whether your vibe is classic white or rich jewel tones, there are many blooms and berries to pick from. Best of add, texture adds much to winter designs. Evergreen foliages like magnolia, juniper and pine add depth and richness to any winter design. Even bare branches and birch bark can be incorporated to complement a winter wedding look. We’ve included some of our favorite winter wedding flowers below.

A ceremony space that proves minimal can still be magical. 🌿✨

Amanda & Matthew exchanged vows beneath a ceiling accented with smilax and twinkle lights, and a backdrop of Italian ruscus. Two wine barrels grounded the scene, each topped with loose, organic arrangements in soft winter whites and lush greens—perfectly at home in this modern winery space.

Simple. Airy. Effortlessly romantic. Just how we like it.

When the setting is this charming and the florals this lush, magic is bound to happen. ✨ 

Rachael & Scott tied the knot at the historic Woodlawn and Pope-Leighey House, where the garden-style ceremony was filled with elegance, emotion, and a gentle breeze of fall romance.

Their floral story? Creamy Café au Lait dahlias, textural greens, and dramatic touches of burgundy brought a wild-yet-refined feel to the day. From loose bouquets scented with eucalyptus to floral-filled urns and centerpieces that felt freshly gathered from an autumn garden, every detail whispered elegance.

This is fall wedding season in full bloom, and we loved every petal of it!

It’s not just flowers. It’s scene setting.

For this installation at St. Francis Hl, the black lacquer of a grand piano met its match: a sculptural floral arrangement in moody burgundy, plum, and blush tones, punctuated by the texture of quince branches and dozens of candle flames casting a golden glow. We wanted the design to feel rich, romantic, and composed… like the prelude to a love story.

Because your wedding should feel like a movie, and every detail should help set the tone.
