Winter flora on parade: 16 of our favorite winter wedding bouquets

See that fabulously rustic winter-themed bouquet up there? The bride, Fern, was totally at the whim of her florist — who just took the idea of a winter bouquet and ran with it. Sometimes when you let creative folks free, you get some seriously amazing results, like some of the the winter wedding bouquets you’re about to eat through your eyeballs. We’ve got red with green, sparkly crystals, paper flowers, GIANT paper flowers, stunning brooch bouquets, clean and simple white arrangements, multicolored succulents, winter wildflowers, and so much more. Let’s get our flora on.

Rustic country wedding as seen on @offbeatbride

A rustic country wedding with an old-fashioned ho-down

Andrea and Steve were inspired by their own way of life when they planned their rustic country wedding. They gorgeously combined a formal, black tie event with a huge family jamboree and old fashioned ho-down. Everyone was encouraged to come with a musical instrument and the drive to rock out. They both come from families who love jam nights and réveillons, so the ho-down was simply back to basics for this music-loving crowd.
