While many brides believe that winter is a time for deep rich colors, many are beginning to entertain the idea of using white flowers for a winter wedding. Because the color of white flowers is reminiscent of the exquisite shimmer of snow and the pure, untainted love that the couple shares, white flowers make a perfect choice as a color scheme for winter weddings.

Follow these ideas to achieve a look of timeless sophistication by using white flowers for a winter wedding, or create your own stunning arrangements based on the suggestions below.

˜ White calla lilies are ideal for both elegant bouquets and chic centerpieces. Create an arm bouquet with long-stemmed calla lilies or a free-form all-white clutch bridal bouquet by combining white roses and white calla lilies.

˜ For a more playful look, create a clutch bouquet from a tight ball bouquet of white hydrangeas. Add vibrant greens for an eye-catching splash of color.

˜ White roses are classic wedding roses- a perfect decoration for any winter wedding. Mix white roses with colored roses to complement the bridesmaid dresses, or maintain the purity of the day by combining white roses with other white flowers. For a look of unparalleled uniformity and sophistication, use white roses as the only flower of the day.

˜ Standing at heights of 36" or even 48", larkspur centerpieces create an impressive appearance. As they flower best in the cool temperatures, larkspurs are the perfect white flowers for a winter wedding.

˜ Chrysanthemums (and pompons, a more specific hybrid of chrysanthemum) are exotic and bold. They come in many different forms, each lovelier than the next. Because of their strong personality, mums should be used selectively and should preferably be coupled with a quieter bloom such as larkspur.

˜ Queen Anne's lace is excellent filler for a winter wedding. Choose a particularly large or striking bloom as the focal point of the bouquet, and sprinkle Queen Anne’s lace throughout the display for a regal effect.

˜ White alliums make excellent extra touches. Pin them to the side of each isle pew, attach to bands for corsages, or drizzle a few strands into your hair for a cascading floral hairstyle.

˜ Stock is a tall and full plant that enhances any arrangement. Make a stunning centerpiece arrangement by combining tall branches of stock blossoms with white calla lilies or hydrangeas.

There's no end to what you can do with various white flowers. For a winter wedding that will be memorable and elegant, there is no better option than to adorn your hall, tables, and wedding party with fresh white wedding flowers.
