6 Bouquet Ideas for Your Wedding

While some may say that bouquets are not as important as your dress or the food on your wedding day, they are a crucial part of your ceremony. For some, it can indicate a tradition, while others may view it as an additional supplement to accentuate your wedding dress. Either way, your choice of bouquet will say so much about you. That’s why it is important to carefully choose the floral arrangement that’s right for you. If you find it overwhelming, here are some ideas to help you get started: 

1. Start With In-Season Flowers

If you are working on a budget, the best choice of flowers would be the ones in season. They are much cheaper and easier to source, so you don’t have to worry about spending a great deal of your budget on flowers alone. You can ask your florist what in-season blooms will work best for your bouquet of choice. 

2. Add Greenery

If you want to have a unique take on your wedding bouquet, you are not limited to flowers alone. You can infuse greenery into your bouquet to give it a bit of depth and character. Make sure to mix and match different blooms and greenery that would go well with your overall wedding theme so it remains cohesive. Some types of greenery you can use include myrtle, eucalyptus, and rosemary.

3. Go Green

If you dislike the idea of too many colors, you can also opt for an all-out foliage wedding bouquet. They are perfect for whimsical and rustic wedding themes, as they give the bride the choice to be non-traditional with their selections. If you choose to go for a foliage bouquet, the best ones to consider include eucalyptus, hypericum berries, sprengeri, dusty miller, and air plants. 

4. Embrace Orchids

Orchids are unique flowers that can give your wedding bouquet an exotic vibe. When using orchids, there are tons of ideas of how you can incorporate them, but the most common one is the cascading bouquet. You can have your orchids arranged as if they are waterfalls cascading into the aisle.

One trick to remember is that cascading orchid bouquets are best paired with a simple bridal look. Pairing it with a detailed and elaborate gown can only result in a clashing look. If you want to make your wedding bouquet even more memorable, Juniper Flowers suggest looking up the best orchids to use. If you want, you can even keep it as an ornament in your home. 

5. Feather and Beads

For those who want to have a more creative take on the wedding bouquet, one trick is to forgo flowers altogether and instead use a mixture of feathers and beads to recreate a bouquet. They are ideal for couples who want to keep a memento of their wedding flowers because they don’t have to worry about it being withered. 

6. Go DIY

If you are on a tight budget and you have some artistic confidence, you can always make your own wedding bouquet. The best option is to go for a simple look, enough to complete your look. For DIYs, you can go for a hand-tied bouquet. You just have to carefully choose the flowers that would go together and tie them in a bunch using some nice ribbon or twine. This floral arrangement is best for boho-themed weddings because it provides a more laid-back aesthetic. 

When planning your wedding bouquet, it’s always best to start with finalizing your venue first, as it will have a significant impact on what theme or flowers you may choose to have for your big day.
