Choosing Your Flower Colors

Be careful when choosing white, red, or green flowers and leaves/accessories. Take a small swatch of fabric of your bride's and bridesmaid's dresses to the florist. As with all colors, these three come in varying shades and you'll want to get your flowers and leaves to match or at least compliment your attire. Whites come in shades varying from brilliant pure white to ivory. And as we all know, reds can be hard to match up.

Dress up your tables with beautiful centerpieces with winter wedding flowers such as the following:

Roses, pionese, pine cones and ornaments set into a bed of evergreen leaves.
Red poinsettias mixed with white tulips or roses.
Red roses mixed with white lilies.
Cala lilies with clusters of purple/blue berries.
