Five Popular Winter Blooms for your Bridal Bouquet

As you begin to plan your winter wedding, there are many things you will need to think about. One of those includes your bouquet. There can be a lot of confusion and decision making when it comes to your bouquet, but if you are having a winter wedding, let the season decide what type of flowers you will use.

Winter weddings can be beautiful and spectacular affairs. They are often very elegant and you can either dress them or dress them down. When you choose your flowers, you can certainly choose among your spring flowers, but you will find these to be more expensive during the winter months. If you go with artificial flowers, then you can pretty much choose any thing you want. However, if you want real flowers, then it is time to take a look at what is available to you during the winter months. Here is a quick look at the favorite winter blooms that are often used for weddings.

Roses: A Classic

Roses are classic flowers that can be used any type of year. Roses are especially pretty when used tastefully during winter weddings. White and red roses are the most popular for winter weddings, and when you use them with sprigs of Holly, pinecones and seasonal berries, they can look especially elegant. When you begin looking for roses to use in your bouquet, your best bet is to use a trusted florist that can provide you with not only beautiful and long lasting roses, but also with the best prices.

Spectacular Bouquets of Amaryllis:

Imagine how elegant and beautiful a bouquet of fresh Amaryllis will look during your wedding. Amaryllis look especially nice when tied together with a beautiful bow and left to their own beauty. Amaryllis flowers have long and sturdy stems that make them perfect to use as bouquets for the bride and the bridal attendants. These beautiful flowers come in red and white, which are perfect choices for winter weddings. These flowers also come in pink, but this color is less popular for winter weddings. Amaryllis flowers are especially popular to use for reception floral centerpieces because they are easy to keep and are very pretty.

Orchids for all Times of the Year:

Orchids are especially nice for weddings that are held in the winter. These come in a wide array of colors and can look especially pretty when used alone or alongside with other floral accents. Orchids are generally more expensive than other types of flowers, but when you use them sparingly they can create a stunning impact on any bridal bouquet.

Poinsettias, the Classic Winter Flower:

Of course when you think of the winter season, you probably think of the beautiful and graceful poinsettias. Poinsettias traditionally come in deep red and white. However, you can now find poinsettias that are dyed to match almost any color and are adorned with glitter. Red poinsettias are by far the most popular choice for weddings and wedding receptions. Not only can you use these as your centerpieces at your reception, but you can also use them in your bouquet. They are inexpensive, easy to find, and they will last a long time after your wedding is over.

Winter Accents:

Don’t forget about the floral accents that are popular to use for winter weddings. Sprigs of holly, ivy, seasonal berries and boughs of Douglas Fir will all catch your attention. You can find all sorts of uses for these wonderful floral accents. These can be used with the flowers of your choice or alone, decorating church pews and reception tables. You simply cannot go wrong with these beautiful choices.
