Winter Wedding Bouquet

Holding a wisely selected winter wedding bouquet in your hands will make your face look natural although it is the cold season. Your complexion will be better, you will look good in photos.

A beautiful winter wedding bouquet can really make you look extra gorgeous on your wedding day. Your husband will never regret the day he married you. Your friends will envy you. Make sure you choose a bouquet that's right for you.

How To Choose Your Winter Wedding Bouquet

Remember, to choose a winter wedding bouquet, your bouquet should have winter accents. Winter accents are like pine cones, holly leaves, baby's breath, berries and others.

Winter flowers are like freesias, lilies, poinsettias, hydrangeas or even roses. Combine winter flowers with winter accents, you get a lovely bridal bouquet.

Colors play a role, too. Winter colors are like red, white, gold, silver and green. Sometimes blue is also considered a winter color. Match these colors with the color of your wedding gown and your wedding would be perfect.

If you will be wearing a white gown, a wedding bouquet with a combination of red and white is simply lovely.


If you wear a cream or ivory wedding gown, a white with some gold wedding bouquet is suitable. The gold will add some glitter to your wedding gown, making you glow. Something every bride wants.


The shape of your wedding bouquet is actually depending on the style that you want to present. If you want the formal look, you go for a cascade bouquet.

If you want a casual look, you should go for the hand-tied bouquet. The hand-tied bouquet is gaining popularity nowadays because of its informal look.


If you love the casual style, why not make your own hand-tied wedding bouquet? Here are ideas for your bouquet :

Ideas For Your Winter Wedding Bouquet
See if you like any of the ideas below...

* Try something simple but elegant. Mix white calla lilies with red roses.

* For an all white bouquet, mix white tulips, narcissi, lilacs, seeded eucalyptus and some hydrangeas together.

* For a deep red bouquet, mix red amaryllis, red roses and china berries.

* For a blue bouquet, mix delphiniums, blue hydrangeas, muscari and euphorbias together and hand-tie with a blue satin ribbon.


If you like any of the above ideas, try to make your own winter wedding bouquet. It will be one of your sweetest memories.

Tip: Make sure to hold your bouquet just below your waist in pictures. This way it won’t block your dress details or dangle by your hips.
