Whether you’re planning an intimate wedding ceremony or a huge wedding reception with hundreds of guests, you will likely want to incorporate florals into your event. Selecting the right florals is an important step for many engaged couples, but it can be overwhelming to choose which ones will best suit your unique tastes and the aesthetic of your event.
In this seasonal guide, we’d like to recommend some excellent florals to consider in each season. This way, you can find florals that will be in season and will likely complement the other decorations at your wedding venue.
- Spring: Spring offers plenty of florals for brides to consider, especially flowers in pastel and romantic colors. For instance, peonies, tulips, lilacs, and daffodils are in peak season during the spring months, and they range from soft yellows and pinks to light lavender tones.
- Summer: Summer florals tend to be bright and bold with plants like sunflowers, roses, and hydrangeas in season. Some brides may also want to incorporate more tropical flowers, such as orchids or hibiscus, into their floral arrangements to create a truly unique look. Key colors for summer include deep reds, bright yellows, and deep purple tones.
- Fall: Fall florals include warm and rich colors that mimic the look of autumn leaves. Shades like burgundy, burnt orange, and gold tones can be found with marigolds, chrysanthemums, and zinnias, and when combined with tiny pumpkins or pinecones, you can create a truly enchanting look.
- Winter: Winter florals exude cool, regal elegance and tend to be white, dark red, and forest green in color. Roses, calla lilies, and amaryllis are a few beautiful florals to consider. To really embrace the festive season, consider adding gold or silver ornaments, mistletoe, or holly to your floral arrangements to transform your event into a winter wonderland.
