21 Best Flowers For a Beautiful February Wedding (2024)

Seasonal blooms perfectly reflect the season’s unique atmosphere, starring wintery colors including snow white, burgundy, and sky blue.

Furthermore, seasonal flowers cost less and last more than out-of-season blooms. You can rest assured your floral arrangements will stay fresh throughout the long wedding day.

When looking for winter wedding floral arrangement ideas, consider your wedding style, color theme, and location – flowers are a vital element of the atmosphere.

1. Anthurium

Anthurium is an elegant exotic flower that comes in various shades, including pink, red, purple, green, salmon, white, and even black. Anthurium works best in minimalist mono-floral arrangements due to the large blooms with an unusual shape.

Anthurium also makes excellent boutonnieres, hairpieces, and table décor – a single anthurium bloom in a vase looks very modern. Alternatively, you can pair it with other exotic flowers such as calla lilies or birds of paradise.

2. Calla Lily

Calla lilies are exceedingly popular among winter brides, and that’s no wonder – their unique trumpet shape makes even minimalist bouquets incredibly stylish. Furthermore, calla lilies have a long vase life and are versatile.

Calla lilies come in white, pink, red, and other shades. They work equally well in bouquets, centerpieces, boutonnieres, and hairpieces-pair calla lilies with anthurium, orchids, or green tropical leaves.

3. Dahlia

Dahlias are popular garden flowers available year-round. Most dahlia varieties have rounded petals and spherical shapes, but some have narrow, sharp-ended petals and flat tops.

Dahlias come in nearly any color you could think of, from pastel blush to deep burgundy. Perhaps, two-toned dahlias are the most beautiful variety, featuring contrasting color combinations like orange and white or peach and plum.

Dahlias work the best in bouquets and venue décor elements. You may mix and match different dahlia types in mono arrangements or pair them with chrysanthemums, hellebores, anemones, or ranunculus.

4. Orchid

Orchids are yet another popular exotic wedding flower available year-round. Pure white Phalaenopsis orchids with large rounded blooms look endlessly elegant and modern in cascading bridal bouquets.

Orchid flowers are so gorgeous that they don’t require any pair – for instance, single orchid blooms make beautiful boutonnieres, hairpieces, or plate décor. However, you may mix them with calla lilies or anthuriums for a more diverse look.

Apart from Phalaenopsis, consider Brassavola, Catasetum, and Cattleya orchid varieties. They come in various colors and patterns to fit any wedding style.

5. Gardenia

Gardenias are stunning winter wedding flowers that resemble roses and grow on trees with large dark green leaves. They come in yellow, pink, peach, orange, red, and other colors, with the most popular being white.

Single gardenia blooms look excellent in boutonnieres and hairpieces, while gardenia leaves can make any bridal bouquet more attractive. Consider pairing gardenias with roses, anemones, or ranunculus.

6. Hellebore

Hellebores, also known as winter roses, look nothing like roses. They typically have five petals and a yellow center and are available in just about any color, from white and pink to deep purple. Two-toned hellebores are incredibly gorgeous.

Hellebores are delicate flowers that wither relatively quickly, so they aren’t the best choice for mono bridal bouquets. However, they work great with other winter garden flowers or as centerpieces.

7. Lavender

Lavender typically blooms in spring, but in some regions, its blooming season starts in February. Lavender flowers range from pale greyish-purple to rich violet shades.

Mono lavender bridal bouquets and centerpieces are an excellent choice for brides preferring minimalism. Lavender is a rustic-wedding staple and pairs well with most wildflowers and purple garden blooms.

8. Hydrangea

Hydrangeas are available year-round and come in a range of pastel colors, including pink, blue, and purple. However, white hydrangeas resembling puffy clouds are the most popular for weddings.

Hydrangeas can give volume and texture to any floral arrangement and pair well with most garden blooms like ranunculus, anemones, gardenias, and roses. However, mono-hydrangea bridal bouquets are no less gorgeous.

9. Tiger Lily

A common misconception is that tiger lilies are always fiery orange. Indeed, it’s the most common color, but tiger lilies are also available in pink, red, white, and cream, sometimes two-toned and spotted.

Tiger lily arrangements are an excellent way to add some color to your winter wedding. They look stunning in minimalist bouquets but pair well with anthuriums, calla lilies, and roses.

10. Anemone

Anemones are beyond gorgeous winter flowers with rounded petals and a large black center, resembling poppies. They come in pink, red, blue, purple, and all-time wedding favorite, white color.

Anemones look stunning in bouquets with nearly any flowers – roses, ranunculus, asters, magnolia, you name it. However, an anemone-only bridal bouquet is an elegant and chic choice.

11. Baby’s Breath

Baby’s breath or gypsophila is a wildflower with tiny, clustered white blooms. Mono gypsophila bouquets resemble snowy clouds and make an excellent venue decoration for a winter wedding.

However, florists typically use gypsophila as a filler flower for elaborate bouquets. While baby’s breath is always white, florists can dye it in any color – sometimes, even all rainbow colors at once.

The best thing is that gypsophila doesn’t change its look drastically and doesn’t crumble when it dries. Therefore, you can preserve your baby’s breath bridal bouquet for months or years as a memory.

12. Waxflower

Waxflower is another popular winter filler flower. This wildflower with tiny blooms comes in white, pink, and purple colors and works the best in dainty bouquets or boutonnieres.

The most modest brides may opt for a mono waxflower bridal bouquet – add a satin ribbon, and it will look impeccably chic. Plus, it’s a cost-effective solution for brides who don’t see sense in spending a fortune on flowers.

13. Ranunculus

Ranunculus is a rose-shaped garden bloom available in white, pink, orange, red, cream, yellow, and purple shades, ranging from pastel to dark.

Ranunculus works well in bouquets, centerpieces, boutonnieres, hairpieces, cake décor, or any other application. Pair it with roses, gardenias, camellias, or filler flowers like gypsophila.

14. Aster

Asters are some of the most versatile wedding flowers due to the wide variety selection – there are over 600 species to choose from!

Some asters are flat, others spherical, with rounded or sharp petals, but most can be recognized by bright yellow centers.

Mono aster arrangements work best for rustic weddings, while elaborate bouquets with dahlias, roses, and chrysanthemums will suit even the most formal affair.

15. Magnolia

Magnolia trees have large flowers with waxy petals and sweet, intoxicating fragrance. While magnolias come in pink, purple, and yellow, white is the most popular color for weddings.

Most magnolia blooms are too large for boutonnieres but look gorgeous in mono bouquets and centerpieces. Dark green or dried orange magnolia leaves can liven up any floral arrangement.

16. Marigold

Marigolds are sunny garden blooms that come in yellow, orange, and red colors, sometimes combining two or three shades.

Although winter weddings are typically associated with muted and dark colors, February is the last cold month, so a marigold bouquet is an excellent way to embrace spring anticipation.

Mix marigolds with other red, orange, yellow, and pink garden blooms, such as asters, gerbera daisies, and zinnias.

17. Muscari

Most hyacinths bloom in spring, but the Armenian Muscari variety is in season for a February wedding. These unusual wedding flowers feature grape-like blue, pink, or white clustered blooms and intense fragrance.

Hyacinths can make the simplest bridal bouquet look special and go well with nearly any flower. They look equally stunning in monochromatic arrangements with blue hydrangeas and buoyant bouquets with colorful roses, tulips, or zinnias.

Alternatively, you may combine blue, pink, and white Muscari hyacinths in a minimalist bridal bouquet.

18. Queen Anne’s Lace

Queen Anne’s lace is a white wildflower with a flat head and long stem that makes an excellent filler flower. It’s a popular alternative to gypsophila and waxflower, making any floral arrangements appear dreamy and aerial.

Frankly, there are no limits when it comes to Queen Anne’s lace combinations – it looks great with roses, chrysanthemums, zinnias, sweet peas, hyacinths, or almost any other flower. Mono Queen Anne’s lace bouquets are a beautiful venue décor idea.

19. Zinnia

Zinnias make a strong competition for asters in terms of variety selection. They can be flat, spherical, single or double-petaled, mono-colored, or two-toned. Furthermore, zinnias come in different sizes and therefore are suitable for any application.

Some of the most common zinnia colors are orange, yellow, white, and pink. This versatile winter garden flower pairs the best with asters, bells of Ireland, daisies, anemones, marigolds.

20. Bells of Ireland

Bells of Ireland are long-stemmed flowers with clustered green bell-shaped blooms. A couple of stems in a tall vase make creative table décor.

Bells of Ireland can also liven up a bridal bouquet and look especially beautiful with white or pink flowers. However, they aren’t particularly common in boutonnieres and other small accessories.

21. Sweet Pea

Sweet pea blooming season starts in late winter to early spring. These delicate wedding flowers look endlessly dainty in mono bouquets but also make perfect filler flowers, adding volume to any floral arrangement.

Sweet pea comes in white, pink, blue, yellow, and purple colors, typically pastel shades. However, you may also come across two-toned and vivid sweet pea varieties.
