The Secret Winter Garden: Where The Blooms Are!

Via A Colorado Courtship

The winter season evokes thoughts of snowdrift and nature's colour wheel firmly coming to a grinding halt in the icy blue and gray spectrum.  January is only halfway over, but summer dreams have flown the coop and have taken all the bright and fresh colours of the season with them.  But with all the bare branches and frozen ground beneath our feet with every step we take, does this mean that wedding florals are destined to be minimal and sparse? Not a chance!  Brides.com gave us a timely reminder that winter wedding florals are anything but subdued; the flowers that are available during the colder season still pack a lot of heat!
