But new trends for winter color palettes are fairly generous, from the classical festive favorites to variations on copper, metallics, pinks, frosted pastels, greys, blues, and so much more.
And you don’t need to worry about seasonality if you decide to opt for a preserved flower bouquet, which is an excellent wedding flower option that many brides are still unaware of. Preserved wedding flowers are beautiful, natural, budget-friendly, won’t wilt or die, are not subject to seasonality, and are just as stunning as fresh wedding flowers.

Dreaming of a White Wedding
Reminiscent of a winter fairytale, a white wedding is associated with light and purity. The white wedding will always be a staple of bridal fashion as this monochromatic choice remains forever modern and elegant.
If you’re using only white for your winter wedding colors, you should incorporate a variety of textures so that the colors don’t fall flat. Also, combine various fabrics, patterns, sparkle, plants, and greenery to add dimension.
Tip: If your dress is white, and you don’t like the look of white-on-white, throw in a collar of dark green ruscus leaves to make the bouquet stand out.

Blush Pink With Berry Tones
Want to make a bold statement in the middle of a quiet winter wonderland? Berry tones blended with the daring blush pink will do it. From cranberry to raspberry and every shade in between, this cheerful combination will add a touch of color and energy to your special day.
Tip: Add a bit of ivory, and you’ll have a palette that’s lively and joyful yet romantic.
