Unique Flowers
Filler flowers
While typically relegated to supporting roles in snazzy bouquets, filler flowers feature a delicate, almost frail charm that entices you with their innocence and understated elegance. We suggest warm and soft blooms like baby's breath, lily of the valley, Queen Anne's lace, delphiniums, and bouvardias.
Dried flowers
Brides around the world have been welcoming this trend's wonderfully antique style. With distinct textures and warm hues, dried flowers inspire a sentimental feel to your wonderful bouquet while also stiring up a message of eternal love. Their versatility also blends seamlessly with any wedding theme. For your flower choices, wildflowers, lavenders, proteas, roses, and hydrangeas make exquisite dried flowers.
Big blooms
Make a statement with big, striking blossoms! A bouquet with extra-large flowers adds an extravagant and dramatic impact to your wedding look to fit your bodacious and confident personality. Among the most attractive large blooms are peonies, water lilies, calla lilies, and gardenias.
Succulents
Boho chic is in, and so are succulents. For a more natural, distinctive look, choose these stylish eye-catchers! Regardless of whether you pair them up with choice blooms or pull off an all-succulent arrangement, these stunners are a practical and gorgeous choice for a rare bouquet.
Sunflowers
Love brings pleasure and lightness to the heart, so add a bright burst of cheer to your wedding look with sunflowers! If their bright look weren't enough, these flowers also hold a sweet meaning: they signify adoration, commitment, and life long joy. What better way to embark on a life filled with joyful love than with a bundle of the happiest flowers?
Themed Bouquets
Monochromatic
Smooth, trendy, and one-of-a-kind-- all qualities of a monochrome bouquet that boosts your wedding to modern elegance. One color with a variety of flowers or in varying shades adds texture to your bouquet while keeping a clean look. Go for classics like whites and pinks, which are always in style. If you want more of an edge or have a taste for the gothic, don't be afraid to go for an all-black bloom ensemble.
Tropical
Enjoy your destination wedding with a bouquet that go well with its sunny vibe! Parrot tulips, anthuriums, oriental lilies, bird of paradise, and monstera are typical go-tos for an extraordinary, lively look. For color choices, you can't go wrong with bright oranges, loud magentas, and bursting yellows. Palm leaves or banana leaves also add warmth and density to your arrangement.
Seasonal
Your wedding is all about new beginnings, much like the first breath of spring season or coldness of winter. Seasonal flowers embellish this lovely sentiment. Even better, there's also the sensible advantage of having them easily available for your wedding date. Seasonal bouquets come in a vast selection of flowers and colors, giving you the flexibility to pick the perfect bouquet.
Signature Styles
Cascade
A flowy, enchanting bouquet to match your fairytale wedding! Cascades entice the eyes down a trail full of lavish blooms, subtle foliage, and full greens, creating an exquisite look and a waterfall-like impression that will make your wedding truly a dream come to life.
Horizontal
A harmonious curtain of florals and foliage that blends a relaxed feel with a softly lavish look, the horizontal bouquet is classiness personified. It brushes up to the sides, creating clean and aesthetically pleasing lines. Known for its versatility, it can be suited to a wild style with vines and stems or a conventional bouquet with bountiful blossoms.
Hand-tied
Simplicity is sophistication with the hand-tied bouquet, invoking a truly personal touch with its free, unrestrained, and laid-back style. All it involves is a cluster of flowers and greenery tied together using a ribbon or a silk wrap, which makes it very easy to create and readjust even by yourself.
Hoop
This buzzworthy trend is making waves among brides nowadays! Evoking the romantic look of wreaths from times of yore, this bouquet has ribbons, greens, and florals attached to a wooden or metal hoop. With a dreamy look and a laid-back aura, you'll definitely love this gorgeous garland.
Special Touches
Berries
Fruit might not be the primary thing that comes to mind when it comes to bridal bouquets, but berries create complex accents for a wild and natural look. Large, vibrant berries like hypericum berries, raspberries, blackberries, and snowberries make a bouquet stand out with color and fullness. For more elegant but subtle accents, go for berzelia, pepper, and tallow berries.
Greens
Flourishing greens and lovely foliage add glamour to your bouquet with sensational color palettes, captivating textures, and even enticing aromas for a fresh, forest-inspired arrangement. Whether you go with a delicate trail or a full, overgrown look, these stunners add playfulness and intensity to complement your lovely blooms.
Feathers
Mixing classic glamor with a sense of lightness and fineness, feathers inspire a vintage vibe, while establishing a modern look with their wonderfully special style. These uncommon accessories also come in varied types with their own distinguishable textures and hues, making them surprisingly versatile and conveniently suited to different wedding themes.
Paper
Get creative with handmade paper flowers! Your special creations can be just as gorgeous as fresh flowers, while carrying more meaningful sentimentality. Plus, you can treasure it as a long-lasting memento after your wedding! Whether it's florals made from the sheet music of your special song or maps of where you first met, this bouquet is sure to be one for the books.
