Winter brides: what color besides red?
I was oringlaly thiking, christmas = red, but every single wedding i've been t in the past 5 years has had red gowns. So I was thinking of plum. What kinds/colors of flowers can I use to still keep it sort of holiday themed?

Re: Winter brides: what color besides red?
You could do plum, or silver, or navy, or hunter...
Depending on the dress you choose you could pull a bunch of flower combos.. let me do a search and see what I can find..  
Here's a couple of plum/purple accent flowers that you may be able to use...

Re: Winter brides: what color besides red?
If you do silver, you can keep like a snowflake theme.. and totally play off of that! Good Luck, I am sure you will find the perfect combo!! Let me know If I can be more help!!
ETA: did more searching.. found a small article
Winter Wedding Flowers
Decide whether you want to go for a silver and white elegant look, or celebrate the season with reds and greens. For those who like silver, look for dusty miller, silver-dollar eucalyptus, and baby blue eucalyptus, mixed with white flowers such as roses, football mums, crocus, lilies and stephanotis. If you're looking for a brighter bouquet, consider red roses with holly and pine-tree greenery. In season flowers such as tulips, roses, and ornamental berries generally will be less expensive choices. (Talk to your florist, as your region may have different availability)
ETA-AGAIN: LINK TO GOOD ARTICLE

Re: Winter brides: what color besides red?
I really like silver if you don't want to go with the red theme. Navy can be nice also.

Re: Winter brides: what color besides red?
I'm doing wine colored bm dresses and white flowers with silver/gold accents. I'm trying to keep it wintery but not valentines day (it's the 18th of february)
I love navy, chocolate, black for winter weddings. ( not all together )

Those are my colors. Navy blue, silver and white. They look great together. Very winterish...not Christmasy though.
