Joyful jewel tones and frosty flowers
I adore Christmas. The excited feeling, the build-up to the big day, the planning… it all seems so similar to planning a wedding, albeit on a smaller scale, and an annual event! But there’s the same sense of anticipation and fizz of excitement, and plans for both always aim for a memorable, amazing day.
Around Christmas though, nature seems to have hunkered down for the winter and hidden its colour under a white blanket of snow or grey and misty sky. So if you’re looking for some colourful festive floral inspiration to bring a pop to the coldest season, we’ve pulled together some of our favourites.
Festive Florals – The perfect flowers for a Christmas wedding
A glint of gold and some warm red berries liven up the gorgeous pale roses. Lush greenery really adds some depth.

Another alternative to flowers – add some glitter to some fragrant pine cones and a sprig of fir to add a wintery scent and a festive feel. IMAGE: Laura Ashley
Frosty tones work perfectly at this time of year. Paired with pure white flowers, it makes a striking bouquet. Add grey tones for contrast.
Pure white is a luxurious choice – hydrangeas, roses and some twinkling lights keep the atmosphere magical.
