Are you in the midst of planning a Christmas wedding? Looking for inspiration for your flowers? Well you have come to the right place, for today we look at the flowers that are suitable for a seasonal do.
This first one may be a promotional poster but look at those fabulous flowers! Roses, poinsettia, berries orchids, twigs and cones, very Christmas looking.
You can't beat the traditional white and red theme at this time of year and these bouquets would suit it down to the ground. Are your maids wearing red? Normally callas are the prerogative of the bride but here she had them mixed with scarlet red roses where her maids had them on their own.
We did this photo shoot in the height of summer but look at that candlelight! With the mirror and all that gorgeous eucalyptus it just screams Christmas. Who says a bouquet has to be flowers!
A beautiful red bouquet of gerberas, roses and berries framed with a variegated foliage collar this is just perfect for a Christmas themed day.
Another take on red and white, white roses with red hypericum berries lots of green foliage too to warm up the colours.
Who wouldn't love to carry this bouquet? Scrumptious velvet red roses packed tightly together with ruscus foliage and bear grass loops.
Another rose bouquet, this could be a bride or bridesmaids. Gorgeous ivory roses with lily grass loops and sparkly diamante, always a hit for Christmas weddings.
Another all white bouquet. This has lots of gorgeous flowers, roses, spray roses, ranunculus and freesia all packed tightly together and some sparkle in there too.
A slightly different take, a blue and white bouquet, who says Christmas has to be red!
Small ivory roses, white Cyclamen flowers and blue thistles. Teamed with silver bridesmaid dresses this would look fabulous.
On to the groom. A buttonhole with eucalyptus, pine and red berries in the natural style so popular at the moment.
Or how about the gorgeous red rose? Nothing else to add just a few dark green leaves and a loop or three of bear grass, simplicity is key.
On to the tables.
Don't want your theme to go too red? How about bringing in some orange! This low cylinder bowl is simply gorgeous with orange gerbera, red carnations, ranunculus and mixed foliage. A stunning addition to any table.
Or keep it very simple. Add a tray, some bottles, a candle or two, a few sprigs of foliage and red berries. Add gold cutlery and there you go a table fit for a classy wedding breakfast.
Add in a bowl and a few red blooms to ring the changes if you have lots of tables for a splash of colour.
Looking for taller displays? These candelabras are the same basic frame. One has the stunning crystal chimneys which will (when lit) throw sparkles across your venue or leave those off and have taper candles and a flower ball to adorn your guest tables.
Wanting sparkle but lower design? How about these crystal gem fish bowls? On their own with a candle or they could take a posy of flowers, say the bridesmaids bouquets
The ceremony table display shouldn't miss out. This blue winter display adds a twist to Christmas but with the seasonal spruce and holly foliage it sure won't disappoint.
Or go back to the traditional red and green theme. Lots of lush gerberas with roses and berries and winter mixed foliage.
Use these during the ceremony and ask your venue to transfer to the top table and reuse.
Back to your guests.
Having a black tie winter theme? Small black martini vases filled with ice stones, snake grass straws and an ivory rose display would get the nod from James Bond I am sure.
Hurricane vases come in all sizes, these are quite large but filled with an oversize candle and winter foliage and berries they won't take up too much room on your table.
Team those with these taller martini vases to draw your eye through the venue and add in some WOW factor.
These were filled with gerbera, amaryllis, roses and hypericum berries
