Mountain Wedding Flowers in Colorado: Expert Tips from a Denver Wedding Florist

​🌸 Planning a Mountain Wedding? Your Guide to Wedding Flowers in Colorado

Dreaming of a stunning mountain wedding surrounded by wildflower meadows, towering peaks, and fresh alpine air? Whether you're tying the knot in Denver, Aspen, Beaver Creek, Steamboat Springs, or Breckenridge, planning your wedding flowers for a high-altitude celebration takes local expertise, seasonal insight, and a floral designer who understands Colorado’s unique charm.
At Zalea Wedding Florist, we specialize in creating unforgettable floral designs for mountain weddings across Colorado. Here’s your essential guide to choosing the perfect blooms for your big day — no matter the elevation.
​🌿 1. Start with a Local Expert!
Mountain weddings often come with unpredictable weather, remote venues, and logistical challenges — from long delivery drives to outdoor setups in rugged terrain. Hiring a Denver-based wedding florist who regularly works in the mountains ensures your flowers arrive fresh, on time, and styled to perfection.
At Zalea, we regularly service weddings in:

• Denver
• Aspen
• Beaver Creek
• Vail
• Steamboat Springs
• Breckenridge
• Keystone

We know the best venues, seasonal flower options, and how to design for everything from intimate elopements to grand mountain resorts.
​🌸 2. Choose Seasonal Blooms for Peak BeautyOne of the best ways to get the most beautiful and budget-friendly florals is to go seasonal. Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s blooming when in Colorado:

• Spring (April–June): Tulips, ranunculus, peonies, lilacs
• Summer (July–August): Dahlias, garden roses, sunflowers, wildflowers
• Fall (September–October): Zinnias, chrysanthemums, dahlias, berries
• Winter (November–March): Evergreens, amaryllis, anemones, roses

Bonus: Seasonal flowers tend to hold up better in outdoor conditions — ideal for Colorado’s high-altitude venues.

🏔 3. Match Your Florals to the Mountain SettingEach Colorado wedding destination has its own vibe — your florals should match it! Here’s how we help couples tie it all together:
🏞 Aspen WeddingsElegant, upscale, and nature-infused. Think modern arrangements with orchids, roses, and lush greenery.
🎿 Beaver Creek WeddingsClassic alpine luxury. We recommend structured florals in whites, creams, and deep greens for timeless appeal.
🚠 Steamboat Springs WeddingsLaid-back and rustic-chic. Wildflower-style bouquets and pops of color blend beautifully with barn venues and open fields.
❄️ Breckenridge WeddingsCozy, romantic, and perfect for winter weddings. Pinecones, evergreens, and deep jewel tones shine in this snowy setting.
