Most weddings are held in spring and summer. However, there are couples who still find it romantic to get married during the winter season. The flowers of winter make for great arrangements for the bride’s bouquet, for the church, and for the reception. For winter weddings, Christmas brides usually pick red or burgundy as a motif. Red roses, calla lilies, carnations, and other red flowers should be used in the bouquets.

White is another popular winter color. Flower choices for this color include white roses, tulips, hellebores, freesias, and mums, among others. However, it is important to choose the perfect white varieties that will go with the bride’s gown, as white comes in different shades. White flowers vary from pure white to ivory to a faint pinkish white.

Spring is just around the corner, which means it’s the season for children’s formal wear. Weddings call for flower girl dresses and boy’s tuxedos, as well as for First Communion dresses and boy’s suits. What’s in this season? Read on to find out!

Flower Girl Dresses

When it comes to flower girl dresses, you have several options that will bring smiles to the faces of your attendees, and make your flower girls feel like little princesses. A sleeveless satin bodice with a satin skirt and organza overlay is a simple but stunning combination. Scattered colored stones with a matching band at the waistband coordinates well with the attire of others in the bridal party. Depending on the age of the flower girl, choose either tea length or floor length.

A bride who has her heart set on yellow wedding flowers should consider the season in which her wedding will take place, before selecting a type of flower. In addition to the many meanings associated with yellow wedding flowers, the flower itself can symbolize a time of year.

Brides can use yellow wedding flowers as the main shade in a bouquet or as an accent color; yellow flowers pop when put next to royal purple, and are a natural complement to oranges and reds. Alternately, an all-yellow palette of wedding flowers makes for a more modern arrangement.
