Flowers play a crucial role in almost every Indian event. From welcoming guests to your home to adding festive overtones in your Mandir, flowers can be used to make interesting decor choices. Seasonal flowers offset against the cool winter mist can create a particularly riveting aesthetic. Many brides like to play around with such contrasts while designing their wedding look.  If you are planning a winter wedding, consider the following winter flowers in India to enhance your décor!

1.   Tulips

Tulips stand for true love, and what better emotion to celebrate during a wedding? If you’re going for an elegant and geometric décor, tulips can add on to the aesthetic beauty. So, consider using them for lighter events where you don’t necessarily want traditional Indian vibes. A bridal brunch with your closest friends, an at-home dinner, or even an elegant reception can work. White tulips are ideal for monochromatic décor, while pastel pinks can work with colourful surroundings.

Average cost: ₹100 per bunch

2.   Marigolds

Is there an Indian wedding that is complete without marigold flowers? These pretty orange flowers are ideal for canopies as you can wrap them around poles easily. Many people also use them for rangolis, and to style their hair. Marigolds are also largely used to create garlands. No matter what aesthetic you choose, marigolds are one of the winter flowers in India you cannot do without!

Average cost: ₹10 per kilogram

3.   Carnations

Another popular winter flower, carnations are available in a ton of colours. Therefore, you can use them to enhance any décor easily. You can use them as centrepieces for tables or wrap them around canopies. For cool-toned décor, you can go with either purple or white carnations. Similarly, you can use orange, yellow, red or pink for warm-toned décor. Different carnations signify different emotions. Reds and pinks tend to stand for love and devotion, while whites represent good luck!

Average cost: They cost around ₹150 per set

4.   Camelia

Brides looking for an elegant, English vibe can choose camellias for their décor. Like tulips, these flowers look lovely on their own and can be used as light accents for the overall décor. These flowers signify love and longing and are ideal for romantic aesthetics. Moreover, if you are planning long events, camellias are a great choice as they do not wither quickly. As these flowers are quite subtle, you can use them to decorate your braid or hands too.

5.   Sweet peas

Sweet peas are small, round flowers that can be used as stand-alone décor, or as fillers for bouquets. They signify departure, making them perfect for the main wedding ceremony. If you are planning to use many different types of flowers, you can use sweet peas as fillers for all of them to tie in the overall look.

Average cost: They cost over ₹100 per set

6.   Daffodils

Daffodils symbolise new beginnings and rebirth. What better flowers to use to start this new chapter in your life? You can use daffodils for the Mehndi ceremony (or any other day event). This is because the décor during such events tends to use pastels and warm tones.

7.   Waxflowers

Waxflowers are ideal filler flowers as they are small but bring tons of volume. These flowers are used to symbolize wealth and prosperity. However, some people believe they signify patience too. Either way, all of these elements can help build a great life with your partner. Use white or purple waxflowers to add volume to your bouquets. These flowers have a natural citrus smell, which can make the overall vibe fresher.

Average cost: These cost around ₹20 for a bunch

8.   Dutch Iris

Dutch Iris flowers are very sophisticated. They resemble orchids, to a certain extent, but aren’t as common. So you can use that eclectic look without falling into the trap of being clichéd. Dutch iris flowers symbolise royalty and power. Decorate night events with cool-toned themes, such as a sangeet, with these small blue flowers.

Average cost: These flowers cost around ₹1,000/- per bouquet
