Winter always seems to make its arrival with a punctuated statement as though to say, “I’m here to stay.” We pull all of our coziest layers out of our closets, spend nights inside by the fire, and gaze in amazement as the snow falls for the first time before the longing for warmer days kicks in. Although winter sometimes feels like a season to skip, there is fun to be had during its seemingly short three months of the year because so many celebrations take place.

We gather together with family and friends for the holidays, kick off the New Year, and watch as engagement season begins in full force. With so many reasons to enjoy the winter months, we thought we would assist in helping to change the narrative about the season to one focused on fun and delight. And, that means highlighting one of our favorite details – winter wedding bouquets.

Although the landscapes outside may not allude to this fact, there is plenty in season from late December through early March. Fruits, like kumquats and mandarin orange offer bursts of bright citrus colors, and flowers, like anemones, amaryllis, roses, and carnations are plentiful. And, we haven’t even focused on the greenery that feels completely appropriate for the season! Without further ado, we bring you 15 winter wedding bouquets filled with in season flowers, fruits, and greens, crisp shades of bright white, and plenty of varied style to help you to see the beauty available to you when you say yes to a wintertime fete.

    Sometimes the thing we miss most during the winter is soft shades of color, and this rose, ranunculus, and snowberry bouquet solves that with its white, blush, and green palette. All of these blooms remain in season during the winter and often into the spring, so this bouquet is an option to consider for a late winter-early spring wedding.

    The great thing about carnations is they never go out of season. When they open fully, they can also look just like peonies with a much smaller price tag! The carnations in this bouquet are a beautiful shade of deep red, and they are paired with roses, berries, and greenery proving a lush look can still be created in the winter.
