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.
