Sure, it might seem as if spring and summertime offer the best selection of blooming flowers for weddings, but you the fact is that you actually have lots of options no matter the season your wedding takes place during.  Fall and winter brides have a lot of floral choices, too.

Fall brides can select many colorful seasonal flowers for their wedding, including vibrant orange tiger lillies, chocolate or peach roses, honeysuckle, cream freesia, orange gerbera and ivory carnations.  Of course, beautiful fall leaves, pinecones, and fabulous fall berries and fruits (apples!) would also make lovely wedding accents.  Meanwhile, winter brides also have a great many choices, such as Chinese lanterns, poinsettias, holly berries, Christmas roses, Grand Prix roses, leatherleaf fern, beargrass in gold, crisp white flowers of any kind, ivory roses, mistletoe, and pine boughs.  Truly, there are so many unique and unusual floral ideas that can be incorporated with ease into your big day.

Many new brides-to-be might be wondering about the etiquette involved in selecting wedding flowers and we’d like to help clear up any confusion that might be out there. Both tradition and wedding etiquette suggests that the groom himself give the bride her bouquet as a gift, as well as the flowers for the bridal couple’s mothers and grandmothers and the groomsmen’s boutonnieres.  Traditionally, the bride takes care of ceremony and reception flowers as well as the bridesmaids’ bouquets.

Just remember, if  you’re a fall or winter bride and are concerned about the selection of seasonal flowers available to you for your wedding, you needn’t worry.  In fact, you might find it challenging to narrow down what flowers to be part of your wedding since there are so many to choose from for the fall and winter seasons.
