5 Wonderful Winter Flower Bouquets with Seasonal Blooms

Winter is not traditionally known as a time of flowers in full bloom -- which is why winter flowers, with their sturdy nature and novelty, are so highly prized! When it is bitterly cold outside, there are snowflakes next to the front door, and when you simply cannot go outside because it seems too much like a fight to survive, winter flowers help bring the outdoors to you. Today we are checking out some gorgeous bouquets that use in-season flowers over the winter period and capture the spirit of the season.

This flower bouquet is called Very Vogue, and is a great way to visually warm up the house over the winter holidays. It is specially designed for Christmas, as you can tell with both sprays of holly itself, and Christmas colors all through the bouquet. It includes amaryllis and holly, which both bloom in winter.

Not quite so much of a traditional holiday look -- a great all-around winter flower bouquet, either for yourself or a friend. Ranunculus and waxflower feature in this bouquet along with the standards roses and lisianthus; the ranunculus and waxflower are available throughout winter.

The colors in this Citrus Sunshine bouquet are made from winter flowers, but anticipate the arrival of spring with every frond and furl! The Bells of Ireland are a major feature -- they are a traditional winter flower. The pompom button chrysanthemums are gorgeous also!

Poinsettia is a traditional winter flower and also the birth flower for December. The legend says that a small girl picked a bunch of pretty weeds on Christmas day, for lack of any money to make a more substantial offering -- and sat them on the doorstep of her grandparent's home. They were transformed in a Christmas miracle into beautiful red blooming flowers -- poinsettias. You can see the red bouquet below - white blooms are rarer, but red can sometimes seem more festive.
