Wedding Flowers Ideas for Every Season

Take a cue from the seasons with our favorite wedding flowers ideas for every season.

Winter-theme weddings can be uber chic and ethereal. Use these ideas to create your wonderland…

Color palette: New-fallen snow – Use whites and creams accented with silver or gold; winter sparkle – ice blue or navy accented with silver; black tie – black is especially suited for a winter wedding when paired with white, silver, or gold.
Go glam – Deck your halls with crystal detailing for a sparkling winter effect, adorning linens and chair covers or sprinkled over table tops. The result is deliciously glam and oh so fab.
Liberal use of candle light – The glow will add warmth and elegance.
Holiday theme – Decorate with potted evergreens, pine branches, wreathes, poinsettias, ornaments, bells, or twinkling white lights.
Added interest and texture – Incorporate holiday greenery or tiny crystals into your arrangements.
Creative bouquets – Instead of flowers, carry tea lights, votive candles, or cascading bells.
Tossing alternative – Have your flower girl throw silver glitter or sprinkle fake snow.

The tulips are blooming, the temperatures are rising – what a perfect time for a wedding! Get inspired with these ideas for spring flowers…

Color palette: Green and white – an elegant accompaniment to a garden setting; yellow and green – another fresh, natural color pairing; preppy – combine hot pink with green or mango (think polka dots and gingham); chocolate brown – this trendy hue works well for spring, paired with pale blue or pink.
Go wild with patterns – Create a playful effect; think gingham, polka dots, eyelet lace, swiss dots, and stripes.
Add some greens – Grasses and greenery are a natural for outdoor garden settings. Drape over arbors and incorporate in arrangements.
Creative containers – Put your arrangements in simple, homespun containers like wicker baskets, watering cans, teapots, or urns.
Potted plants – Potted arrangements create a natural, organic look. Best of all, you can plant them for a timeless reminder of your wedding.

Set the stage for a sunny summer wedding with vibrant colors and inspirations from the great outdoors…

Color palette: Bright and bold – hot pink and deep red or mango and fuschia; nautical – navy and white is a clean summer classic, accent with touches of yellow, red or gold; seaside – combine aqua with beige, peach or white.
Go casual – Summer weddings lend themselves to a casual décor scheme, fitting of a backyard barbecue. Think checked table clothes, benches, and picnic tables.
Go natural – Incorporate natural décor elements like fruits, vegetables, even insects (like ladybugs or dragonflies, not necessarily roaches!).
Get lit – Light up an outdoor evening reception with lanterns or torches.
Fruits – Fruits like lemons and limes look whimsical and chic when filled in tall clear vases.
For a beach look – Incorporate shells, sand, and sea glass in your arrangements.

Get autumn-spiration with these flowers and decor ideas with a fall twist…

Color palette: Colors of the season – adhere to mother nature’s fall color palette with reds, oranges, browns, rusts, and yellows; jewel tones – make a rich, interesting twist to the traditional autumn color scheme; mix with metallics – gold, copper, bronze for added pizzazz.
Back to nature – Use simple décor to subtly enhance the season’s natural bounty. Use the autumn harvest for inspiration; think gourds, pumpkins, squash, gold-dipped fall leaves, bales of hay, jugs of cider…you get the idea.
Go fall glam – You’re not confined to rustic and casual in the fall. Create a posh autumn ambiance, and drape lush velvet (a traditional fall/winter fabric) in a rich chocolate brown or gold throughout your reception space. Accent the scene with antique broaches, crystal candelabras, and stemware.
Autumn harvest – Add pears, apples, and/or cranberries to your arrangements.
Natural texture – Incorporate leaves, acorns, and/or sprays of wheat.
Creative containers – Hollow out pumpkins or realistic fake ones, or use stained wooden boxes, terra cotta pots, or rustic lanterns.
Tossing alternative – Have your flower girl toss leaves or acorns instead of flower petals.
