Winter in the Southern Highlands is one of the most stunning times of year for a wedding – the hills are still a vibrant green and beautiful colours still dot the landscape but we are also lucky enough to have lots of venues with stunning inside ceremony locations. In fact, a ceremony in front of the fireplace is one of the most romantic options around.
When it comes to planning a winter wedding we are often asked what flowers are in season June, July and August (the Australian winter). We’ve compiled a short list of what flowers are traditionally in season in winter. Of course, Mother Nature is fairly unpredictable so timing does shift from week to week and weather does have a dramatic impact on flower availability.
