How to Choose the Perfect Lakeside Wedding Flowers

Lake Winnipesaukee weddings combine natural beauty with relaxed elegance. Selecting flowers that match the waterfront vibe—and hold up to lakeside conditions—can elevate your entire day.

Start with the Season

• Spring: Peonies, lilacs, ranunculus, tulips.

• Summer: Dahlias, hydrangeas, sunflowers, garden roses.

• Fall: Chrysanthemums, amaranthus, rich-colored dahlias.

• Winter: Evergreen accents, white roses, dusty miller.

Factor in the Setting

• Wind & Sun: Lakeside breezes mean you’ll want sturdy blooms and secure arrangements.

• Color Palette: Blues, soft greens, and neutral creams complement the natural lake scenery.

Work with a Local Florist

A florist who knows the Lakes Region—like those familiar with venues such as Timber Hill Farm or Birch Hill Farm—can recommend flowers that stay fresh in New Hampshire’s varied weather.

Add Personal Touches

Consider unique details like floral arches on docks, garlands for boats, or floating arrangements in the water for a dramatic effect.

Pro Tip: Schedule a venue walk-through with your florist so they can plan for lighting, wind, and logistics. This also helps to know how big of arrangements you are looking for to fill the space. Also working with vendors on layout of tables, furniture you want whether it’s a lounge area or a yard game space. This will help with layout!
