Six Beautiful Flower Bouquets for the Perfect Wedding
There are so many choices when it comes to flower bouquets for a wedding. You want something that is elegant and beautiful, but also memorable. This blog post provides six different options for bouquets, from simple and modern to extravagant and romantic.
A bouquet of flowers is a perfect way to celebrate any event. Flowers make great gifts, and you can get them for pretty much any occasion, including weddings. Whether you are looking for an elegant bouquet of roses or something more modern, these ten options will provide inspiration!
1. Just Roses Red
Why deviate from a timeless classic?
Roses are an almost ubiquitous symbol of romance across cultural and historic barriers.
These flowers were beautiful and graceful especially in their full bloom; that grace becomes a quality attributed to those who fall romantically like they're untouchable or unapproachable for others.
We also get the connotation of romance from Ancient Greek myth. It was thought Aphrodite, the goddess of love, used rose oil to protect Hector from other combatants in the Trojan War.
Roses are also linked in Hindu culture to romance through the goddess Laxmi, wife of Vishnu, who was created from 108 large and 1008 small rose petals.
And in medieval Europe, romance was represented through the rose by poets such as Guillaume de Deguileville, Gui de Mori, and later of course by William Shakespeare.
So regardless of the religion or cultural background of those whose marriage you are celebrating, you cannot go wrong with this bouquet of ten gorgeous, fully headed red roses.
2. Lady Penelope
The Lady Penelope Hand-Tied is an ideal bouquet to match
Each rose shade has its own individual meaning, and when it comes to roses in particular, cerise conveys mean gratitude, so this gift would be perfect to express gratitude for the wedding invitation, or just gratitude that the lucky couple are in your life.
Lilies also have their own romantic symbolism. Lilies are often used in weddings because they represent purity and innocence. They also symbolize the beauty of a bride on their wedding day, which is why it's often popular to place lilies at her feet or in the groom's buttonhole when he arrives for the wedding.
The Lady Penelope Hand-Tied comes together well as an ideal bouquet to celebrate the romantic union of the bride and groom.
3. The Flower Of Love - Mixed
For those looking to make a more complex gift of floral bouquets than just roses, but still want the ubiquitous red and pink flowers in their arrangement, then "The Flower Of Love" bouquet is an excellent variation on the classic.
The simple shades of pink and deep-red roses make this bouquet perfect for celebrating any wedding day - this selection will bring colour as well as variety to your traditional flower heads.
4. White Harmony
If reds and pinks are not really the style of the wedding, and the theme is more orientated around whites or light colours, then the White Harmony Hand-Tied bouquet is a considered choice.
The bouquet consists of large white oriental lilies and white roses, finished off with greenery.
White lilies are an ancient symbol of purity and cleanliness. The symbolism has changed over time, from originally being a status symbol to a signifier with more romantic vibes.
White lilies were also believed to have the power to heal the sick, protect the home from evil spirits, and communicate with angels or ancestral spirits. But today they signify love, marriage, funerals and special occasions.
So, this bouquet will still communicate the central themes of purity and innocence that come with a wedding, whilst also providing an alternative visual palette to the traditional reds and pinks that come in the other bouquets.
5. Country Lane
This is a bouquet as delicate and elegant as the bride.
This bouquet features large-headed white roses, which are often associated with romantic affection; but instead of lilies that symbolize purity, this bouquet has green carnations.
The Green Carnation flower is commonly used in Ireland for St Patrick's Day celebrations because it represents love between friends and family members alike - making this an apt gift to give if you're Irish!
The Green Carnation also happens to be popularly seen at Christmas time so those celebrating early may enjoy receiving these blooms too!
6. Just Lilies Pink
Pink Lilies are symbolic of innocence and purity,as well as vulnerability, humility, and modesty.
If any of these speak to your relationship, then this bouquet of gorgeous pink lilies is the perfect addition to a wedding that has pink/purple as its theme.
