What’s In Season: A Guide to Winter Wedding Flowers

About a week ago, I shared a guide to fall wedding flowers, so today we're going to talk about what's blooming for winter! This list reflects a small portion of the flowers that are in season for December through February.

What's In Season: Guide to Winter Wedding Flowers

4 Favorite Winter Wedding Flowers

  • Amaryllis: aka belladonna lily, even though it is only distantly related to the lily family; commonly seen during the holidays in brilliant shades of red; popular for growing indoors
  • Anemone: aka “windflower” (the Greek word anemone means “daughter of the wind”); there are about 150 species
  • Camellia: native to eastern and southern Asia, commonly known as “tea flower” in Chinese and is in fact used to produce tea; flowers vary in color from white to pink to red
  • Ranunculus: aka buttercup; in Late Latin, the name means “little frog;” all species (approximately 600) are poisonous to certain animals

What's In Season: Guide to Winter Wedding Flowers

Winter flowers are some of the most striking and vibrant, in my opinion. If you're going to include shades of red and/or ivory in your wedding colors, I think any of these varieties would be great choices. Orchids and roses are also popular choices for winter weddings, as they come in such a broad palette of colors.
