You may look at all the colorful spring and summer wedding arrangements with longing and admire the way fall flowers compliment each other, but winter wedding flowers can be the most beautiful and inspiring of all.

A floral designer will most likely inform you that a defining element of winter arrangements is the use of one color. For instance, it is common to see large bouquets of red roses placed all together.

While it is true that it is not economical to use flowers that are abundant in other seasons of the year, a winter wedding has fabulous potential and more beautiful floral possibilities than weddings in any other season. You have the most celebrated holidays of the year to inspire your winter wedding themes, as well as the season itself. Here are a few ideas to give you some inspiration while planning your winter wedding flower arrangements:

The Holidays: Having a wedding around Christmas or New Years can be a lot of fun and economical as well. If you choose to use flowers that are popular at Christmas, it will cut down your overall cost. Some popular choices include Poinsettias, Holly, Amaryllis, and other stemmed red berries.

Picture a Christmas wedding transformed by sparkling lights, fir trees, and poinsettias or a winter wonderland scene showered with silver glitter and pale blue highlights. Add some flickering candles to create a more romantic atmosphere. A winter wedding can be the most elegant of all featuring traditional black and white colors with red accents. Picture a black tie affair with red roses peeping out at every view. Nothing could be more proper or more beautiful.

The accents used in your floral bouquets and designs can be inspired by the season as well. Glittering stems and picks are a perfect touch. You may choose bows that are a Christmas plaid, glittery silver, or an icy blue. These unique little touches will add elegance and a pleasing wintry feel to your wedding.

Winter Colors: The most obvious winter color would be white. This color is now the height of style and elegance, and white on white has become a popular choice for wedding themes. Adding a little silver or gold to a white theme can add more of a holiday touch and more of an elegant feel. Many also choose to go for a winter wonderland theme using a white, silver, and icy blue combination. White Poinsettias look beautiful in this setting, and the Amaryllis is very stunning in white bouquets.

Winter wedding are known for using different options in place of the traditional bridesmaid bouquet. For instance, you may choose to have them carry lanterns or pomanders down the aisle. This is a welcome change that could no be more fitting any other time of year.

Symbols of Winter: Use the winter elements to your advantage. This will give your wedding more of a wintry feel. Think of pinecones, wooden stems, and berry branches. Holly, Ivy, and fir branches are also welcome additions. These are also very easily available and inexpensive.
