According to the online newspaper the Olympian there are all kinds of options when it comes to winter wedding color themes.
Red on red is a favored color scheme for winter weddings as it contrasts so nicely with the idea of white and snow. A bright white wedding dress looks great with a warm red bouquet made of pink red, orange red and fire red flowers. Red flowers are inexpensive and widely available. Roses, miniature callas and all kinds of flowers come in this color. You can also add berries like holly and brown accents like pine cones or walnuts to the bouquet to give it a warm touch.
As it is winter you could consider an all white wedding including a white wedding dress and an all white bouquet that consists of baby’s breath, white carnations, white daisies, callas, roses and mums. Mistletoe is another flower that is associated with a winter wonderland as are white, gold and silver colored berries. Wrapping your bouquet with white, silver or gold foil or saint ribbon is also a nice touch.
Mixing white with blue is another wintry color schema. In this case you could create a bouquet from tweedia, lavender and white sweet pea. Blue roses, carnations and mums are also widely available at florists. Consider a bouquet of blue miniature roses, white miniature callas embraced by a baby’s breath and blue eucalyptus leaves. Blue lavender also look nice in a cascading bouquet with bright white orchids.

What flower is the large white one from the first picture under winter ideas?
Christine-Ann, Great question! I’m not 100% sure, but I believe that it may be some kind of lily. I’m trying to contact the bride to confirm. In the meantime, if anyone else knows, please post a comment! Thanks! ~Melissa

The first bouquet looks very much to me like a composite bouquet made up of many lily petals. I have not seen that before but it is a common practise to do that to with roses to make a duchess rose or with gladolia to make a glamalia.

I am very curious on how that large white bouquet was made. Can anyone help me with that?

Not sure if anyone is reading this anymore, but the lily bouquet is a composite bouquet, meaning that it is made of individual lily petals that are plucked from each flower, individually wired, and then put together again to create one large flower.
