If you’re seeking winter wedding bouquet inspiration, you’re in the right place. The beauty of the David Austin cut rose collection is its availability all year round, ensuring that no matter what season your wedding takes place in, our roses can be sourced from floral designers and flower wholesalers worldwide — even in the depths of winter. Of course, there are no strict rules about which rose colours suit which season, but for winter weddings we find ourselves particularly drawn to bridal bouquets in classic festive shades of snowy white and rich holly-berry red. By incorporating David Austin Wedding Roses, your bouquet is guaranteed to be both stylish and luxurious. But how can you use these traditional winter colours in a fresh and unpredictable way? Scroll on for beautiful inspiration from our favourite five winter wedding bouquets.
Winter Wedding Bouquets: Classic Red Roses
Red roses are a dream at any time of year but they feel particularly special and seasonal around Christmastime. Using a single red rose like Tess en masse creates a bold and dramatic look that is simple but oh-so effective for a winter wedding bouquet. The key to keeping this look contemporary is to ask your florist for a natural, freeform design. A natural cluster of roses feels chic and interesting. Pair with a long-sleeved lace gown for a timeless look.
Winter Wedding Bouquets: All White Roses
This timeless design with a relaxed natural feel is a modern take on the wedding bouquet carried by gorgeous Annie Banks in Father of the Bride – one of our favourite movies of all time! Less structured and perfectly formed than bouquets typical of the nineties and early noughties, this all-white winter bridal bouquet is given a light ethereal feel with its loose composition and layered white flowers. Leonora and Purity take centre stage, complemented with delicate papery blooms like scabious and sweetpeas and twisted willow for an organic feel. The blue velvet ribbon adds a splash of colour (and ticks off that something blue tradition) and the bride’s soft blush gown adds warmth to this elegant winter wedding.
Winter Wedding Bouquets: Natural Green and White Roses
If an all-white bouquet feels too minimal and monochrome for your taste, consider adding foliage and delicate touches of green like in this beautiful winter wedding bouquet. This adds contrast while still feeling clean and neutral. Our leading lady Leonora is paired with ranunculus, lilac, astrantia and hellebore, plus tendrils of foliage and sculptural spirea to create a natural and organic feel.
Winter Wedding Bouquets: Bold Red and Pink Roses
The addition of pink is a fabulous way to bring modernity to a classic red rose wedding bouquet. Red and pink is a hot colour combination that’s popular in fashion and interior design right now, and we can see why. Use the colours in equal vibrancy for a bold dramatic effect, or experiment with different tones of pink and red, like blush pink paired with cherry red for example, or peach with burgundy.
Within this bouquet, floral design duo Bows + Arrows have used Tess, Darcey, Miranda and Capability David Austin Wedding Roses.
Winter Wedding Bouquets: White Woodland
There’s nothing quite like a brisk winter walk in the countryside and we love how this bouquet captures the true essence of the season. You’ll notice how this winter wedding bouquet features different shades of white and textured foliage to create a sophisticated and timeless multilayered look.
Florist Joseph Massie Flowers also created a magical winter woodland scene for the wedding ceremony, featuring natural finds like moss and bare branches, and chunky pillar candles in hurricane vases
