On your wedding day, your floral bouquet can be designed to reflect your theme, your dress and your unique style. A bouquet is a beautiful and traditional symbol of marriage and we’ve hand-picked 10 of the most sensational arrangements to inspire your choices.
Vibrant summer
Nothing quite says summer like an exuberant bouquet filled with vibrant blooms. Hot pink, fuchsia and deep purple are ever-popular colours, and adding white to the mix makes the colour pop. Bold colours work particularly well for contemporary brides with coloured wedding dresses – and if the bouquet clashes slightly with the dress, all the better!

Fruity bouquet
Adding fruit and berries to a bridal bouquet is another trend that has really taken off this year.

Opulent orange
Orange is becoming a big colour trend in bridal flowers – and this calla, rose and freesia bouquet by Blue Sky Flowers shows exactly why. Deep, rusty oranges pop out against a white or ivory dress and mixed with pale pink or peach roses, with a backdrop of lush foliage, they add fun, fashion and joy to your overall look on the big day.

Romantic roses
With Old Dutch roses and winter berries, this romantic bouquet is by Sonning Flowers. Although roses, the flower of love, passion and romance, look wonderful on their own, this stunning bouquet really shows how versatile they are. The dark berries and pale green foliage absolutely flatter the delicate, dusty pink blooms – a dream bouquet for a beautiful bride.

Sparkling sunflowers
Sunflowers – whether fresh or silk - are one of the brightest and most distinctive flowers you can choose for a bouquet and they work best when integrated into the whole wedding. Designed by Rose & Co, a summer bride carrying this sunny bouquet could scatter the theme across the entire wedding, from sunflower adorned invites to a stunning vase of sunflowers on each reception table.

Bridesmaid bouquets
Choosing lovely bouquets for your bridesmaids is just as important as getting your own flowers right. The bridesmaids’ flowers should echo your own bouquet, with some of the same flowers on a smaller or more subtle scale. If you have an accent colour at your reception it can work well to mix that shade into your bridesmaids’ bouquets while you carry a solid white or ivory arrangement.

Simple style
Simple, classic and timeless; this Moutan bouquet is ideal for a high summer wedding with a traditional bride in a beautiful ball gown. Whether you are having a neutral or vivid colour scheme at the reception, a white or ivory rose bouquet works well with any contrasting decor and won’t detract attention from your dress. This bouquet would also lend itself well to diamond accessories.

Country garden
If you’re having a vintage-style or boutique hotel wedding, you might prefer a loose selection of flowers and greenery with a more natural effect than a perfectly formed posy. This gorgeous country garden bouquet by The Flower Mill contains roses, lavender, cornflowers and ranunculus, and is particularly well-suited to autumn weddings with a dusky pink or purple colour scheme.

Rustic bouquet
If you’re getting married in a tiny village church, or having your reception in a barn or old country garden, a rustic bouquet will set off the theme perfectly. Designed by Joanne Wildman, this handmade frame tastefully surrounds amnesia roses, hypericum and xanth. The theme can be easily carried through to the reception with small, rustic baskets of flowers on each table.
