These delicate blooms add to your overall look and help complete the entire aesthetic of your wedding. However, it’s important to keep in mind which flowers are in season during the winter months. This helps with budgeting and ensures that your flowers are in prime condition and readily available. To help with your planning, we reached out to Kate Dawes, a renowned wedding florist based in Brisbane, who provided us with a comprehensive list of the best flowers for a winter wedding. With this list, you’ll be able to create the perfect bouquet, ceremony and reception styling, and table decor for your special day.

Your in-season guide to winter wedding flowers

Alstroemeria
(commonly known as Peruvian lily or lily of the Incas)
Beautiful when used in mass 

Anemones
 Soft and delicate to add a whimsical touch

Anthuriums
 Modern, sleek and popular in lux-style arrangements.

Arum lily (late)
Modern and structural.

Blossom
These beauties come in white pink and deep pink. The delicate blossoms contrast against their stick base beautifully. Great to achieve height without impairing the view at a table.

Blushing Bride
Commonly known as Protea
An Australian native with interesting texture 

Camellia
Not usually used as a cut flower as they do not last. However, the few random ones we get on our foliage bunches add a bit of fun.

Celocia
Great for a touch of texture and vibrant colour pop! 

Cymbidium orchid
Commonly known as Boat orchid
Available in so many amazing colours now, they add a touch of luxury to any arrangement. They come in two head sizes so you can vary their use.

Daffodil ‘Erlicheer’
Beautiful creamy colour with a high scent.

Daffodil ‘Jonquil’
Better known as: the happy flower.

Freesias
 Oh, I love a freesia These are not commonly used now but I certainly love including them in my arrangements – especially the white ones.

Gerbera
 Not the most popular flower – but you know what? It depends on HOW you use these beauties. Think outside the box!

Gladioli
 Interestingly, if you place the stem in a horizontal position the stem tip will turn to the vertical.

Heliconia
Great for a pop of colour and structural shape.

Helleborus
Such beautiful soft colours which add a touch of whimsy to any arrangement.

Hyacinth
Gorgeous flowerets all down the soft stem, with a lovely scent.

Iris
Adds a pop of colour (and quite structural).

Leucadendron
Australian native with a lovely rich burgundy colour (also comes in sunset colours). 

Lisianthus
The soft Rose!

Magnolia
We don’t use the cut flower, however, the rich green leaves lined with brown are always special.

Orchids
 Just so much variety – we always welcome them in our arrangements.

Phalaenopsis Orchid
Perfect to add a touch of LUX. So many amazing colours to choose from in both natural and dyed stems.

Poppy (late)
A great pop of colour.

Rose
Reflexing the petals is very on-trend, but I do love a natural garden Rose.

Sweet Pea
These are wonderful to use in garden-style weddings.

Tulip
Available as doubles and singles and with a variety of so many amazing colours now. Just beautiful.
