Is your wedding look all about natural beauty? You may want to consider a wildflower bouquet.

This is a fresh, boho alternative to the traditional bridal bouquets that usually include lilies, roses or peonies and have a defined structure. It's a look we love. Wildflower often appear free-flowing, spontaneous and carefree, as if a bride has wandered through a meadow gathering up great armfuls of blooms on the way to their wedding - even though these bouquets have often, in fact, been painstakingly arranged by a florist to create that effect.

So what goes into a wildflower bouquet? To make your wedding more sustainable, make sure you choose seasonal British blooms. Native wildflowers include honeysuckle, columbine, cornflower, midsummer orchid, wood anemone, lily of the valley, bluebells, daisies, primrose, poppies and forget-me-nots. If you have a favourite bloom that isn't a wildflower, you can always include one or two as your 'hero' flower. An opulent, notice-me variety works best for this, such as peonies.

Remember, wildflower bouquets don't just contain flowers, but also grasses, grains and herbs, which add texture and vibrancy. You might also want to dial up the wild element with a helping of wheat, bulrushes - even a few rosemary sprigs. Wear flowers in your hair too if you want to truly embrace the boho vibe.

To help inspire your look, here are our favourite wildflower bouquets.

1. Colour-Mix Wildflower Bouquet

We love the use of colour here, with a variety of hues really standing out against a white and green base.

2. Coral Wildflower Bouquet

Coral is usually associated with an autumn wedding, but as this bridal bouquet shows, it works beautifully for all seasons. The pops of blue add extra interest.

3. Structured Wildflower Bouquet

If you prefer a more ordered bouquet, this is still achievable with wildflowers. It helps to include firmer grasses and stems, but the overall effect remains delicate and pretty.

4. Bright Wildflower Bouquet

Wildflower bouquets don't have to be pastel. The bold hues in this stunning arrangement add real richness to the look.

5. Blue Wildflower Bouquet

Turn your bouquet into your "something blue"! To prevent it feeling too heavy, mix up the blue shades and include colour pops in another hue.

6. Dried Wildflower Bouquet

Don't discount dried flowers; preserved blooms are also seriously on trend. According to Etsy, there's been a 93% jump in searches for dried flowers. There's no danger of them wilting if you're getting married on a hot day, they'll last for a long time after wards - no need to spend money preserving your bridal bouquet - and they add a rustic-chic edge to your look.

7. Mixed-Texture Wildflower Bouquet

We love it when brides go all-out with their bouquets. This mix of bright colours and textures feels so joyous - exactly the kind of mood that's right at a wedding.

8. Red Wildflower Bouquet

The cream and white foliage softens the red blooms in this beautiful dried bouquet. The mix of textures is particularly well judged.

9. Elegant Wildflower Bouquet

Wildflower bouquets are usually associated with laidback, boho or festival-style weddings. However, this chic bouquet in muted shades proves the look can work well at more formal weddings, too.

10. Pre-Made Wildflower Bouquet

You can save time and money by buying a pre-made wildflower bouquet made of dried blooms - check out Not On The High Street and Etsy.

11. White, Yellow and Green Wildflower Bouquet

This is such a fresh colour combination. Take the daisy as your starting point, then add other blooms in the same hues, plus a dash of foliage.

12. Sunflower & Wildflower Bouquet

Big, beautiful sunflowers are so lovely as part of a wildflower bouquet, particularly if you use a lot of bright colours.

13. Pink Wildflower Bouquet with Roses

Pink wedding bouquets are so romantic, as shown by this delicate bridal arrangement. The roses add a sense of opulence, as well as perfuming the bouquet.

14. Cascading Wildflower Bouquet

We love how wild and unstructured this bouquet looks - ideal for a boho wedding. The reality, of course, is that it has been expertly constructed by a florist; it takes a lot of skill to put something like this together.

15. Autumn Wildflower Bouquet

Think seasonal with your flower and foliage varieties, and also with your colours. The hues of this heavenly bouquet are all about autumn.

16. Simple Wildflower Bouquet

If your bridal style is on the minimalist side, you can still have a wildflower bouquet. Just keep the colour palette simple - white and green is such a classic - and include only a carefully curated selection of flowers and foliage.

17. Small Wildflower Bouquet

You don't have to go oversized with a wildflower bouquet. This pared-back beauty still have plenty of impact because of the use of contrasting colours.
