Winter wedding flowers - HELP!!!!?
Hi and congratulations on your upcoming wedding!



How beautiful!! A candlelight service....very romantic and elegant!



Have you gone to a florist to have a consultation or are you doing the floral arrangements yourself with silks? Personally, I LOVE real flowers....it doesn't need to be a huge arrangement.



My choices would be:



Bride: Red roses!! Very romantic



Maid of honor: Ivory colored roses --- which would look so nice against the black dress.



Flower Girl: Maybe a mixture of red and ivory roses? I love the kissing balls for flower girls to carry:

Or, a simple basket of roses is beautiful also.



If you are using real flowers, go to a florist and look through their books. They can guide you and give you suggestions. They will also work within whatever budget you have.



Good luck!
Reply:Red roses would be nice (maybe with some silver accents). If you want to go with the winter theme, holly and ivy would also be pretty. Also, lillies or gerbera daisies are always nice.
Reply:Deep Red Roses accented with pine or cedar and sprigs of berries. The bouquets will stand out in pictures against yours and your bridesmaids gowns. If you want to break the red up even more at a few mini calla lily or baby's breath.
Reply:My daughter had a winter wedding, white dress, black BM's dresses, red roses. Berries added to bouquets. Sprigs of wispy evergreen in large alter pieces. Looked beautiful.
Reply:Deep red roses with cream roses would look beautiful with the ivory and black.
Reply:Contact a florist in your area,and find out what flowers are in season in the winter time. Discuss your colors, theme,and what you would like. Good luck.
Reply:ok... they seem to have the flower thing covered... this is my little two cents about how to make any flower you pick more wintery...



Find some LONG pine needles, and incorperate them into your bouquet. It adds height and texture, and can usually be picked outta somebodys back yard. It will take any flower you use and put that winter spin on it.



Just an idea.

Reply:It's YOUR wedding so use whatever YOU think is beautiful. Too many brides get caught up in doing what is "in season" or "trendy"....it's YOUR day, the kind of flower doesnt matter as long as it makes you smile and look as beautiful as Im sure you are going to that day! Congrats!
Reply:Most all flowers are available year round now. Bouquet of Black Baccarra Roses( So dark red they look black) would work beautifully for you. A bouquet of Virginia roses(Creamy color) for the maid of honor. Flower girl can throw a mixture of these two color petals or carry a Tussie Mussie of the 2 mixed roses. If you don't want the Christmas look go with mixed flowers in all jewel tones. Makes for great beautiful pictures.
Reply:Go for a consultation with a respected florist. They can give you tons of good ideas.



Roses are always a classic choice, not matter the time of year. You can't use black roses to match the dresses (obviously), so choose another color theme for your florist to base the flowers on.
