The possibilities for winter wedding florals are vast, offering endless ways to capture the season’s charm. From show-stopping blooms and textured accents to seasonal touches that bring warmth and personality, you can create winter magic that feels inviting, not chilly. Holiday-inspired fragrances elevate the arrangements, adding a festive layer to the design. Here at WKF Weddings in St. Louis, Missouri, we offer a curated selection of flowers and accents that strike the perfect balance between celebration and elegance, giving you the freedom to create a wedding that’s either bold and daring or soft and subtly seasonal, based on your personal style.
Hearty Statement Flowers with Winter Wonder
Allow ranunculus, anemones, calla lilies, and roses to take center stage in your winter wedding florals! The timeless appeal of roses, with their lush, full petals, never goes out of style, while anemones offer a delicate contrast with their dark, dramatic centers. Calla lilies bring a touch of modern elegance with their smooth, refined shape, and ranunculus adds a soft, romantic texture with its layers of petals. For a fresh and fun accent, white gerbera daisies can add a lighthearted touch, complementing the more traditional blooms with ease.
Accent Blooms Add Color and Dimension
In floral arrangements, accent blooms are essential for adding texture, height, and dimension, transforming the overall look. Gypsophila, commonly known as baby’s breath, provides a soft, cloud-like texture that mimics the lightness of snow. For a more dramatic touch, blue thistle adds a deep, wintry blue and a spiky texture that stands out. Lisianthus brings elegance and graceful height, giving the arrangement a more organic and flowing appearance. Statice, with its strong structure and durability, enhances depth and helps keep the arrangement fresh and vibrant for longer.
Seasonal Touches for Added Magic
Seasonal accents like holly berries, brunia berries, pine, pinecones, and cinnamon sticks infuse a festive energy into seasonal arrangements, perfectly celebrating the vibe. Pine branches provide a lush, evergreen foundation, grounding your designs with wintry texture. Pinecones lend a rustic, woodland feel and cinnamon sticks bring a hint of warmth with their rich, spicy fragrance. The bright red of holly berries evokes traditional Christmas cheer, while hypericum berries add balance alongside softer blossoms. For a frosted, wintry touch, brunia berries’ silvery hue is the perfect complement, adding a delicate, snow-kissed effect.
Snowy Texture with Greenery and Contrasting Elements
Using greenery and textured accents in your winter wedding arrangements conjures the peaceful beauty of frosted winter vistas. Dusty miller, with its delicate, shimmering leaves, creates a frosty glow reminiscent of ice-covered foliage. Silver dollar eucalyptus — boasting rounded, silvery-green leaves — adds depth and pairs well with both soft, snowy blooms and darker, more dramatic florals. Scabiosa pods contribute a rustic, natural touch, resembling the bare branches of a wintery landscape. For whimsical yet elegant texture, bunny tails are a sophisticated choice that adds a soft, playful feel.
Monochrome or Color: The Choice is Yours
All-white floral arrangements capture the calm of winter, reflecting the purity and stillness of a fresh snowfall. The clean, crisp look of white blossoms creates an atmosphere of elegance and simplicity, ideal for embracing winter’s natural beauty. Conversely, adding luxurious colors like plush purples, rich reds, and vivid pinks brings warmth and intensity, creating a bold visual contrast against the season’s cool and neutral tones. Both options offer a festive flair while maintaining the sophisticated, graceful essence that winter weddings are known for.
WKF Weddings can weave the sparkling magic of falling snow into your wedding flower arrangements. No matter if you’re aiming for a soft, romantic vibe or a striking, festive feel, we’ll work with you to create floral designs that reflect the unique tone and ambiance you want for your big day.
