Unique Flowers
Filler flowers
While typically relegated to supporting roles in snazzy bouquets, filler flowers possess a delicate, almost frail elegance that captivates you with their innocence and understated elegance. We recommend soft and warm blooms like baby's breath, lily of the valley, Queen Anne's lace, delphiniums, and bouvardias.
Dried flowers
Brides across the world have been welcoming this trend's wonderfully old-fashioned style. With warm hues and distinct textures, dried flowers inspire a wistful feel to your fabulous bouquet while also suggesting a message of imperishable love. Their flexibility also blends effortlessly with any wedding theme. For your flower choices, wildflowers, lavenders, proteas, roses, and hydrangeas make exquisite dried flowers.
Big blooms
Make a statement with massive, vibrant blossoms! A bouquet with outsized flowers adds an extravagant and dramatic effect to your wedding look to fit your fearless and confident personality. Among the most eye-catching large blooms are peonies, water lilies, calla lilies, and gardenias.
Succulents
Boho chic is in, and so are succulents. For a much more natural, distinctive look, choose these trendy eye-catchers! Regardless of whether you pair them up with choice flowers or pull off an all-succulent arrangement, these stunners are a gorgeous and practical choice for an one-of-a-kind bouquet.
Sunflowers
Love brings joy and lightness to the heart, so add a bright burst of gaiety to your wedding look with sunflowers! If their sunny look weren't enough, these flowers also hold a loving meaning: they convey adoration, loyalty, and life long joy. What better way to begin a life filled with blissful love than with a bundle of the happiest flowers?
Themed Bouquets
Monochromatic
Smooth, stylish, and unique-- all qualities of a monochrome bouquet that ramps your wedding to modern elegance. One color with different flowers or in diverse shades adds texture to your bouquet while maintaining a clean look. Go for classics like whites and pinks, which are always in style. Don't be afraid to go for an all-black bloom ensemble if you want more of an edge or have a taste for the gothic.
Tropical
Enjoy your destination wedding with a bouquet that matches its sunny vibe! Parrot tulips, anthuriums, oriental lilies, bird of paradise, and monstera are usual go-tos for an extraordinary, dynamic look. For color choices, you can't go wrong with bright oranges, loud magentas, and popping yellows. Palm leaves or banana leaves also add coziness and density to your bouquet.
Seasonal
Your wedding is all about new beginnings, similar to the first breath of spring season or coldness of winter. Seasonal flowers embellish this lovely sentiment. Even better, there's also the practical advantage of having them commonly 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
Finally, a flowy, enchanting bouquet to match your fairytale wedding! Cascades draw the eyes down a trail full of lush blooms, refined foliage, and rich greens, creating an exquisite look and a waterfall-like impression that will make your wedding truly a dream come to life.
Horizontal
A harmonious drape of florals and foliage that merges a relaxed feel with a softly lavish look, the horizontal bouquet is luxury personified. It sweeps off to the sides, fashioning clean and aesthetically satisfying lines. Known for its versatility, it can be suited to a wild style with vines and stems or a traditional bouquet with bountiful blossoms.
Hand-tied
Simpleness is sophistication with the hand-tied bouquet, rallying a truly personal touch with its free, loose, and relaxed style. All it needs is a cluster of flowers and greenery tied together using a ribbon or a silk wrap, which makes it easy to create and readjust even by yourself.
Hoop
This buzzworthy trend is creating waves among brides nowadays! Evoking the whimsical look of wreaths from times of yore, this bouquet has greens, ribbons, and florals attached to a wooden or metal hoop. With a laid-back aura and a dreamy look, you'll surely fall in love with this gorgeous garland.
Special Touches
Berries
Fruit might not be the first thing that enters your mind when it refers to bridal bouquets, but berries create complex accents for a natural and wild look. Large, multicolored berries like hypericum berries, raspberries, blackberries, and snowberries make a bouquet pop with color and fullness. For more elegant but subtle accents, go for berzelia, pepper, and tallow berries.
Greens
Rich greens and attractive foliage add allure to your bouquet with sensational color palettes, captivating textures, and even alluring aromas for a fresh, forest-inspired arrangement. Whether you go for a delicate trail or a full, overgrown look, these stunners add whimsy and glow to complement your lovely blooms.
Feathers
Mixing classic allure with a sense of lightness and exquisiteness, feathers inspire a vintage vibe, while establishing a voguish look with their wonderfully distinct style. These out of the ordinary accessories also appear in varied types with their own distinguishable textures and shades, making them interestingly versatile and easily suited to different wedding themes.
Paper
Get creative with hand-crafted paper flowers! Your special creations can be just as stunning as fresh flowers, while carrying more meaningful nostalgia. Plus, you can enjoy it as a long-lasting token 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.
