If you're a fan of red, consider elevating your winter bridal bouquet with deep red flowers. Your guests will be sure to exclaim in amazement as you walk down the aisle. Red symbolizes passion, and you can choose from beautiful options like ranunculus, scabiosa, and dahlias. However, winter wedding flowers don't have to be limited to purples and reds. Why not also include tulips in your bouquet?
4. Pastel Garden-Style

Consider moving away from traditional deep reds and purples for your December wedding flowers. Embrace pastel colors in a garden-inspired theme that blends the soft blush of roses and serene lavender with the striking contrast of mauve and burgundy tulips. This unique combination creates a romantic atmosphere that feels both refreshing and timeless.
5. White Bouquet

Or, don’t go astray at the very least. Don’t think hard and choose the very color of the season, white, in the persona of ivory bouquets. Having these bouquets will make you feel like the Queen of Narnia getting married. Explore around by mixing ranunculus, parrot tulips, and anemone with lamb’s ears accents, blooming cotton sprigs, and tiny tallow-berry branches for an outdoorsy touch.
6. Lush Bouquet

If traditional white seems too dull, think about a bouquet composed of white flowers, including peonies, camellias, ranunculus, nerines, and crisp tulips. A stunning arrangement of flowers for a lovely bride.
7. Simple Bouquet With Eucalyptus

Most winter brides prefer to work with evergreens for the season, but if you wish to suggest greenery, eucalyptus will also work fantastically. This type of bouquet artfully blends eucalyptus with evergreens for a texturally engaging look.
8. Elegant White Winter Evergreens

Meanwhile, if you insist, juxtapose the styles of bold evergreens with soft, lush white blooms for a winter wedding that your guests will never forget. For instance, combine white garden roses with white butterfly ranunculus blooms.

While planning for your wedding, it’s easy to get engrossed with what you’ll wear, what type of bouquet you’ll have, and whatnot as a bride. Normal, but don’t forget about your bridesmaids. Their bouquets should be the perfect reflection of your bouquet, such as smaller versions of what you have. Cute.
10. Dramatic Winter Flowers With Anthurium

Yes, you are reading that right. Anthurium is popular for summer weddings, but having it for a winter ceremony will introduce contrast to the venue.
11. Winter Wedding Bouquet With Peonies

Peonies are popular flowers of choice for weddings, as you’ll read from famous novels, such as Singaporean Kevin Kwan’s “Crazy Rich Asians” trilogy. While traditionally a springtime flower, they look very homey when paired with white roses, ranunculus, and greenery. Don’t forget the fluffy cotton and gilded evergreens, of course!
12. Blue Winter

Not purple, but blue. If you want this color for your winter bridal bouquet, use a small posy with blue delphinium, hydrangeas, and ranunculus, as well as a soft dusty miller and lemon leaves. Beware, though, because they should only be used in weddings from late winter to early spring, aesthetically speaking.
13. Hoop Bouquets for Bridesmaids

No bride will ever want her bridesmaid to outshine her. She has every right! So, to emphasize this rule, you can instead ask your bridesmaids to carry bouquets as if they are carrying baskets. The design is with floral hoops, pomanders, or flower or fruit baskets.
14. Small Winter Wedding Bouquet With Brooch

Who says brooches are only for blouses? They’re for bouquets, too. Match the icy winter wonderland of your venue with a simple bouquet of white roses bundled with a black ribbon, maybe? Then, with a sparkling diamond brooch, it stands out.
15. Boho Winter Wedding Flowers With Dried Accents

Feel like you want to show off your hippie attitude? Choose to have Boho winter wedding flowers that won’t just end with being Bohemian but also with dried accents. Also, a contrast with the season.
16. With Magnolia Leaves

Here is where you need to be brave when you want to stand out, shine, and be unique. No bride will readily accept a bouquet with leaves that resemble those of mango trees. But adding magnolia leaves to flower bouquets offers a timeless, sophisticated effect.
17. Glam Crystal With Feathers

This wedding bouquet style is very unconventional yet still bespoke and, of course, one of the best wedding flower trends. It usually looks like you're carrying a ball of fire with glamorous, shimmering sparkles, as well as rhinestone brooches. It will feel as if you are a bride at a wedding in Panem.
18. Red Spray Rose and Evergreen

On the other hand, if you’re holding your wedding on Christmas, consider a bouquet with seasonal white cedar branches and eucalyptus as the base, then with red roses, orchids, and white wax flowers to finish the style off.
