Wintertime is a magical season sprinkled with snow and ice and holiday wonder – but it’s also a beautiful time of year to have a wedding. Wedding bouquets are just as stunning in the chilly season as any other season.
But how do you craft the perfect wedding bouquet? Luckily, Forest of Flowers has everything you need to have a stunning winter wedding bouquet that will leave your guests in awe.
Ready to say “I Do!” to these stunning winter wedding bouquets? Look no further than this comprehensive guide.
Choosing a winter theme is challenging, but luckily, our local florists are adept at crafting the best winter bouquet options based entirely on your chosen theme.
Some couples choose to have an entirely Christmas or Hanukkah-themed wedding, complete with cheery and seasonal accents. Or perhaps you want something all white?
Here are some additional themes to consider for your winter wedding:
Having a detailed theme will allow you to structure the aesthetic you desire, including your winter wedding bouquet. You can even build your own wedding Pinterest board to help you come up with ideas.
When choosing a colour scheme for your winter wedding bouquet, there are several options you can consider. Generally, we recommend you stick to several of the classics:
The part we’ve all been waiting for: the blooms. Choosing the flowers you want to feature in your bouquet is vital to making sure you capture your perfect winter wedding aesthetic.
Roses: Roses are a timeless classic and can be the perfect centrepiece for a winter wedding bouquet. White, red, burgundy and even blue roses can be perfect for a winter bouquet.
Ornamental Cabbages: This hardy plant holds up even in the cold weather, and it’s a unique twist on a traditional classic. A bouquet adorned with ornamental cabbage is sure to surprise and awe your guests.
Snapdragons: Snapdragons are unique and pretty flowers that come in a wide range of dazzling colours. Whites, blues, purples, pinks, reds - snapdragons are a great addition to any winter bouquet.
Lilies: Not a traditional winter flower, but the stunning lily is incredibly versatile. Mimicking a winter star, white lilies are excellent statement pieces.
Hydrangeas: Hydrangeas are sturdy flowers that can easily emulate the look of delicate snowballs, making them a perfect pairing for a winter bouquet.
Carnations: Carnations are by far one of the most versatile flowers there are. They come in some of the most diverse colour ranges by far, and in varying sizes as well. Mini carnations and regular carnations can both fit the theme of a winter wedding.
Spray Roses: If you want a daintier look than average roses, you’ll want to opt for spray roses. These bundles of delicate little flowers can be crafted and themed to fit your dream winter wedding.
Hypericum Berries: These hypericum berries look good enough to eat (even though you shouldn’t). They almost mimic the look of holly berries but are easier to obtain. They come in green, red, white, and pink sprays, making them perfect for the winter aesthetic.
Daisies: Another very versatile flower, daises can easily mimic the shape and hue of beautiful, falling snow. Or, they can be used as a pop of colour.
Contrary to popular belief, bouquets don’t consist of just flowers. There’s greenery and additional accents you need to account for, too. And luckily, those accents can be utilized to create the winter wedding bouquet of your dreams.
Winter Pines: A seasonal winter greenery, winter pines truly give the appearance of a stunning winter bouquet.
Fir: Firs are very similar to winter pines, giving an outdoorsy look to your winter bouquet.
Cypress: This evergreen foliage is sure to add that deep wintery element to your winter bundle.
Cedar: A delicate-smelling greenery, cedar provides an excellent addition to your winter bouquet.
Pinecones: Pinecones are icons of the season, and the break up of greenery and florals with the robustness of the hardy pinecone screams “winter wonderland.”
Berries: Prop berries can be good stand-ins if you don’t want to use hypericum berries. Again, mimicking the look of holly, this pop of colour really adds that additional sparkle to your bouquet.
Glitter: Not a common choice, but it’s actually quite a common practice to spray accents with glittery paint or sprinkle gold and silver glitter onto winter flowers like poinsettias. If you want a more glamorous look, adding a pop of glitter can give your bouquet some added shine.
Christmas Ornaments: Attached to sticks and woven into your bouquet, this is perfect for a holiday-themed wedding.
Now that we’ve established your bouquet options, we’ll take it a step further and offer you some ideas to add as winter-themed wedding favours. These are little gifts your guests can take home to remember the special occasion.
Individual Hot Chocolate: Winter is the season for hot chocolate, so a small individual vial of hot chocolate is a memorable and appreciated gift for your wedding guests.
Mulled Wine Kit: Excellent to pair with a nice bottle of wine, the dried spices and citrus are native to the season and create a robust warm beverage to enjoy for the holiday.
Personalized Candles: Featuring the scents of cinnamon, vanilla, and other popular holiday scents, a personalized candle will leave behind a signature smell on your special day.
Cozy Lounge Socks: Everyone needs a little extra help keeping warm in the wintertime. Cozy, squishy lounge socks offer a soft and adorable gift for your wedding guests.
Heart-Shaped Tea Bags: Available in decaf and caffeinated options, a hot cup of warm tea is always welcomed. The heart shape is just the extra touch to make it memorable.
Snowflake Wine Stoppers: Especially perfect if your tables have wine, a snowflake-shaped wine topper is a great gift with functionality.
Mini Holiday Candles: Featuring cute winter figures like snowmen and reindeer, these cute little figures can be added to any holiday decor post-wedding.
