What colour are winter wedding flowers? 

Winter wedding flower colour palettes include white and ivory for an elegant, timeless look as well as rich, deep tones like burgundy, emerald green, navy blue, and plum. Some opt for icy shades rather than warm tones such as silver, icy blue, and dusty lavender to capture the wintery feels. Combining these hues with metallic accents like gold or silver adds to that magical feeling that also is great for a New Year’s wedding celebration!
