Best Flowers for Fall and Winter

Hey, Sparklers!

Selecting the right flowers can create an enchanting atmosphere that complements the season. Fall and winter weddings offer unique opportunities to incorporate stunning blooms and foliage that reflect the beauty of these times of year. While it is the florists specialty to pull your arrangements together, as an experienced planner, here’s our opinion on some of the best florals to show off in the Fall and Winter months!

Fall Flowers

1. Chrysanthemums

Chrysanthemums, or mums, are a fantastic choice for fall weddings, celebrated for their rich colors and varied shapes. Available in hues like deep reds, oranges, and yellows, these flowers can add warmth and vibrancy to your floral arrangements. Mums work beautifully in bouquets, centerpieces, and even as standalone decor. Their hardiness also makes them a practical option for outdoor weddings, ensuring they stay fresh even in cooler temperatures.


2. Dahlias

Dahlias are another stunning option for fall weddings, known for their dramatic appearance and rich color palette. These blooms come in various shapes and sizes, from small ball varieties to large, intricate ones. Their bold tones—ranging from burgundy and deep purple to warm peach and orange—perfectly complement the autumn landscape. Dahlias can be used in bouquets, centerpieces, and floral installations, adding texture and depth to your decor.


Winter Flowers

1. Evergreens  

Incorporating evergreens into your winter wedding decor brings a timeless and classic touch. Whether using pine, cedar, or fir, these plants add lush greenery that symbolizes renewal and strength. Evergreens can be used in bouquets, centerpieces, and even as part of your ceremony backdrop. They provide a beautiful contrast to winter blooms, creating a festive and cozy atmosphere that’s perfect for colder months.


2. Amaryllis  

Amaryllis is a striking flower that blooms in winter, making it an excellent choice for seasonal weddings. With large, trumpet-shaped blooms in colors like white, red, and pink, amaryllis adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any arrangement. These flowers can stand alone in stunning centerpieces or be combined with evergreen foliage for a seasonal look. Their dramatic presence can elevate your decor, making them a favorite among winter brides.


Choosing the right flowers and plants for your fall or winter wedding can enhance your celebration and create a memorable atmosphere for you and your guests. From the warm hues of chrysanthemums and dahlias in the fall to the elegant amaryllis and sturdy evergreens in winter, there’s a wide range of options to suit your style and theme. Embrace the beauty of the seasons, and let your floral selections reflect the magic of your love story!
