Winter wedding, the event itself is original and memorable. As a rule, the winter season is chosen by creative, extravagant nature, who want to stand out from the background of others. But along with the undeniable advantages of snow festivities in the form of original photo sessions, more affordable prices for services and less excitement, future brides get a number of problems that they have to solve. In addition to choosing the right dress, cape or coat, shoes, transport, etc. they will need to decide on floristry. After all, no one canceled the tradition in the form of a bride's bouquet and the groom's boutonniere. On the contrary, the winter bouquet can become a real highlight of the wedding, if you include the imagination and follow our recommendations. In this article we will discuss what colors a bridal bouquet can consist of in the winter.
To begin with, we will reassure those who consider roses the only possible version of the flower for a winter bouquet. Today, thanks to the development of the flower business and transport delivery, you can order any flower that only the soul desires. Another issue is that some flowers simply can not withstand too low temperatures.
If a summer bouquet or spring bride can perform herself, then the bouquet in winter should still be entrusted to a professional florist in order to avoid unnecessary frustration on the day of the wedding.
If you wish and you can order almost any flower, up to tulips in December or field flowers at Epiphany frosts. Another question, is it worth it? First of all, the bride strives to create a harmonious image, and floristry only has to help her in this, and not vice versa. Agree, the same daisies are unlikely to be appropriate in the January day? But the client's desire is the law, and if you insist, for example, on lilies of the valley - ask the master to make a small bouquet of them separately. Thus, you will realize your dream, but you will not be with a frozen twig in your hands on the street, where you can use the main bouquet.
So, what colors can the bridal bouquets of brides consist of in winter, at first glance, absolutely not spring-floral?
In the first place, of course, is her majesty the rose. Thanks to an incredible number of varieties and colors, it becomes possible to create a bouquet of almost any shape and size. An extensive color scheme will allow either to emphasize the finesse and tenderness of the bride with the help of beige, pink, peach shades, or on the contrary to emphasize its originality, using maroon, blue, red roses.
The second most popular winter flower is chrysanthemum. Bright and different in texture flowers for a long time in the favorites of winter brides. Thanks to the good cold tolerance, this flower can be used to decorate the newlyweds' car.
Gerberas are also in demand in the winter due to their frost resistance and a variety of shades. There are about 200 kinds of gerberas, from the largest to the smallest double flowers. And the beautiful and original bouquet can consist exclusively of gerberas, without adding other colors.
In winter, do not recommend using flowers with gentle petals. For example, freesias or callas - they instantly become glass and freeze. Orchids are also not the most popular winter flower, but one of the varieties - tsimbidium, in difference from phalaenopsis, can be used.
The highlight of your wedding bouquet can be a twig of coniferous trees or mountain ash. Florists, as a rule, are very enthusiastic about making such a bouquet. It will be enough to have white roses and tuja for making a real winter bouquet. If you are not afraid of experimentation, ask the florist to create a bouquet using pine needles and small cones.
The highest aerobatics will be a bouquet-clutch of vines with woven flowers and twigs of berries or jasmine. For a base, you can also use the fabric to tone your dress. You will not see this exactly, and there will be no reason to worry because of the minus temperature, because the berries will not fade.
Fashion for bouquets of the bride exists regardless of the time of year. And if it was once considered a bad tone to use flowers of bright shades in a bouquet and everything boiled down to pastel and tender pink colors, now everything depends on your imagination and image.
The main thing to remember is that bright colors are good in combination with more calm ones, and in monochrome bouquets do not overdo it with color saturation.
Many salons offer winter bouquets of brides from lilies. On the one hand, it is really incredibly beautiful, and at the same time delicate flowers. They should be treated very carefully and in no case put a bouquet on the surface, because when touched with it on the petals may remain dark spots and the appearance of the bouquet will be hopelessly spoiled.
There are also rules that apply in all seasons, and winter is no exception. When choosing a flower, specify what flavor it has so as not to get a headache from the very morning. And do not use more than three kinds of flowers in a bouquet, otherwise you risk getting a bad taste instead of a stylish accessory. In the end, attention should be drawn to the bride, not her bouquet.
Wedding bouquet, unlike usual, can consist not only of flowers. In most cases, it is decorated with ribbons, beads, rhinestones, etc. And if for a bouquet of roses all this fits, then gentle petals of any other colors, which are already subjected to negative temperature, should not be overloaded with heavy decorations.
On the other hand, if at the date of your wedding weather forecasters promise a windy and frosty weather, then perhaps it makes sense to wrap a bouquet in more cloth or ribbons. A competent florist will pick it up for your wedding dress.
Before deciding on the choice of a flower, discuss with the master the desired shape of the bouquet. Perhaps, having decided on it, the question of colors will be decided by itself. On whatever colors you have not stopped, the main thing is the conscientiousness of your florist and the quality material for the work. Let your winter wedding turn into a real fairy tale, and flowers will only add to her colors and festive mood!
