10 Best white flowers to use for a winter wedding

As the wedding season shifts to the colder months, there are still plenty of gorgeous blooms to choose from for your floral designs. While florists may have smaller stocks and fewer options compared to spring or summer, there are lots of beautifully white flowers that are suitable for chilly weather. Here are some white flower types we discovered that are winter-wedding approved and guaranteed to make your big day truly lovely!

White Roses

White roses will always be a classic choice for a winter wedding. Even though it is winter, white roses are still available and will look so beautiful in white flower bouquets or as centerpieces on the tables. Their soft white petals are very pretty against the snow if you get married outside in winter. You can pick white roses that are in full bloom or you can choose some that are just starting to open which will open more throughout the event. Roses have such a nice scent too that it will make your wedding venue smell romantic.

Calla Lilies

Calla lilies are another excellent choice for a white flower for a winter wedding. Their unique funnel shape makes them really stand out in winter flower arrangements. Calla lilies come in pure white which will look wonderful with wedding colors like silver, blush, or light blue for a winter theme. They have glossy leaves too that provide nice texture and don't mind being in colder temperatures either. Calla lilies stay fresh looking for a long time too which is great if your wedding reception goes into the evening hours.

Peonies

Peonies are simply gorgeous in full bloom and are perfect for winter wedding flower bouquets and centerpieces. Their large full blooms almost look like roses and come in a pure smooth white. Peonies last a very long time as cut flowers too. Make sure to choose peonies that are fully opened or just starting to open on the day of your wedding to get the best display. The lush greenery that comes with peonies also looks so nice in winter arrangements. Their alluring fragrance adds ambiance to your ceremony and reception too.

Queen Anne's Lace

Queen Anne's lace blossoms have a lovely lace-like effect that is difficult not to notice or admire. They come in pure white and grow in large puffy clusters that hold their shape well. Queen Anne's Lace adds lovely texture to bouquets, winter flower boxes, and many floral displays. Their fern-like leaves provide nice visual interest too. While they may not have the strongest aroma, Queen Anne's lace is a unique and eye-catching choice for January weddings when not many other white flowers are in season. They photograph beautifully and last for over a week in the water.

Gardenias

If you want a flower with a wonderful rich scent for your winter wedding, gardenias are a top choice. Their large double white blooms release an alluring floral fragrance. Gardenias look so elegant in bridal bouquets or boutonnieres. Their thick glossy leaves provide a nice contrast too. While gardenias don't last as long as roses or lilies in arrangements, their memorable aromatic quality makes them a special pick for wedding ceremonies and photos. Choose gardenias that are newly opened or just starting to open for the best & longest-lasting flowers on your winter wedding day.

Orchids

Orchids come in many varieties and colors but their white flowers have a real sense of luxury. Phalaenopsis orchids (moth orchids) are a popular choice for weddings since their full round blooms last 2-4 weeks when cared for properly. Look for phalaenopsis with vibrant green leaves and full white flowers. Mini phalaenopsis looks lovely in bouquets or you could have a large specimen phalaenopsis as a dramatic centerpiece. Dendrobium orchids also have stunning white blooms and are more cost-effective from local flower shops in Hialeah than some other orchid types. Orchids add exotic luxury to wedding flowers in winter.

Anemones

Anemones are a lovely and frilly option for winter wedding flowers. Their cup-shaped blooms come in a pristine white and may have a light golden center. Anemones add nice texture, depth, and layering to bouquets. They look beautiful as table centerpieces too where their texture can really be appreciated. Anemones hold their shape well and last over a week in arrangements. Plus their lush leaves stay green longer than some other flowers. Anemones are very romantic and come in great for January or February weddings to bring nature's beauty indoors.

Hydrangeas

Hydrangeas are a premier summer flower but their white blooms also look stunning in winter holidays. Opt for lacecaps or smooth hydrangea varieties that reliably bloom white without the need to change the color of the blooms like some other types. Hydrangeas add nice fullness and volume to bouquets. Their unique rounded shape provides nice visual interest too. The glossy leaves that come with hydrangeas also stay attractive longer than many other cut flowers in the winter season. Having some white hydrangeas woven into centerpieces or behind your ceremony site will make everything look very bridal and seasonal too.

Lisianthus

Lisianthus flowers are sometimes nicknamed the "Texas bluebell" for their resemblance to that flower and their prevalence in the Lone Star State. But you don’t have to be getting married in Texas to appreciate their beauty at a winter wedding. Lisianthus comes in a pure fresh white perfect for the season. Their narrow pointed petals have a lush fullness that makes these Wedding flowers in Hialeah stand out in bouquets. Lisianthus hold their shape exceedingly well for over 2 weeks as cut flowers too. Their lush greenery looks so nice in arrangements and makes an excellent alternative to filler flowers.
